Troubleshooting a Func_Invis_User/Script_Trigger

(Ifurita) #1

I’m trying to make a panel, where, when activated, setstate defaults a trigger_hurt

Script. I see the hint icon, but never get any indication that the script_trigger ever fires.


/Supply Depot Reset

sd_reset_script_trigger
{
	spawn
	{
		wait 200
		trigger self startup
	}

	trigger sd_reset
	{
		setstate sd_reset default
		wait 500
		wm_announce "button pushed, hurt brush activated  - text prompt"
		trigger self sd_ready
	}

	trigger sd_ready
	{
		setstate sd_reset invisible
		wm_announce "hurt brush invisible - text prompt"
	}

	trigger startup
	{
		setstate sd_reset invisible
	}
}

Any ideas?

I can only hypothesise, but have you considered changing the targetname of the target_script_trigger so it differs from it’s scriptname key?
I can’t see why it would cause problems, but…

The basic set up you have should work, I just did exactly the same thing today in a test map (fiu triggering a script that hides the fiu and does something else).
What’s the output in the console with debugging on?

I don’t think it’s logging anything from using the FIU.

FWIW, I copied and pasted the F_I_U and S_T from another control panel that has been working fine. I setstated the trigger_hurt default and invisible thru another routine (for testing) and that worked fine. Just nothing when I put everything together

I do get a stream of


85850 : (n/a) GScript event: activate 
85850 : (n/a) GScript event: activate 
85850 : (n/a) GScript event: activate 
85850 : (n/a) GScript event: activate 
85850 : (n/a) GScript event: activate 
85850 : (n/a) GScript event: activate 
85850 : (n/a) GScript event: activate 
85900 : (n/a) GScript event: activate 
85900 : (n/a) GScript event: activate

but I think that’s from other script multiples + timers I have in the arenas

Try to change the scriptname and targetname of the trigger_hurt to something else, as its the same as the target_script_trigger’s target. :smiley:

I had a similiar problem: I solved mine by removing the second firing entity’s scripting from the main targeting script and placed it within it’s own scripting brackets. Then as a setup option for the invisible status, I setstate invisible at spawn instead of triggering the setup through spawn…I hope this made sense.

(Ifurita) #7

no luck yet. I’ll try EB’s suggestion tomorrow.

I kinda doubt this is it but in your script you have a / instead of // for your comment.

(TFate) #9

Methinks he accidently missed copying one of the slashes.

(Ifurita) #10

Arrrrgh!!!

So I went retro. I used a small test map, really just a box, made a brand new func_invisible_user, brand new target_script_trigger, and a brand new hurt_brush. Wrote the script, compiled, and everything works the way I want it to. However, when I import the same three entities + script into my map, nothing. The func_invisible_user is not overlapping any other brushes or entities. I’m wondering if maybe there is a hard limit to the number of func_invisible users or something (like TOIs) that I’m butting up against.

Any thoughts?

I can’t seem to find any info regarding a limit to func_invisible_user entities - how many do you have in your map?

Are those entities’ scriptnames/targetnames being referenced by any other routines in your script by accident? Try importing the new entities from your test map into earlier versions of the map thats messing up - perhaps you can isolate the problem that way.

btw - I put the entities and script from your first post into a test map and it worked fine. :S

(Ifurita) #12

Very odd.

It’s not an entity limit. I currently have 13 func_invisible users, the problematic one is #13. I tried deleting one of the other FIUs, still no luck. Then, I tried moving the 3 entities (FIU, TST, and Trigger Hurt) to my staging area - everything works as expected. Next, I moved the 3 entities out of the staging area and to the Frostbite arena - no luck, then to a different spot in the Supply Depot arena - no luck, then to a spot in the warehouse arena, no luck, then back to the staging area - works.

When the three entites are in the staging area, they work as planned and as they did in the test map.

Wow…that is screwey. :confused:
