Typical ET questions

(Mapper X) #1

HI all
I’m new on www.splashdmg.com and this is my first topic.
I’ve got some questions and I’ll hope you guys can answer them.


Question 1:
What the function of 'objflags'?

Plz give me some more info about it, and do the objflags always need the value ‘4’ or that’s bullshit?


Question 2:
I already tested my map several times, but I made some changes (in my map and script)
and now it says the message 'G_Script_ScriptParse(),Error line 412 '}' exspected, found end of script.
So how does your script has to end? With a '}' ?

Plz give me some more info about this.


Question 3:
Can some1 plz give me a link to a site where u can download a free program to make ur own textures for Radiant.


 :banana:  I hope you find some answers  :banana:
(Shaderman) #2

First, have a look at this sticky topic TUTORIALS AND ET MAPPING RESOURCES

What the function of ‘objflags’?

Discussed here

So how does your script has to end? With a ‘}’ ?

Some scripting basics can be found in the scripting section of the Level Designers Reference (LDR)

Can some1 plz give me a link to a site where u can download a free program to make ur own textures for Radiant.

I use The Gimp for the most things.

1st off, welcome to the forums…

objflags are not needed, as they do not seem to function in anyway worth mentioning… there is a topic in these forums about them, i can’t remember where… but do a quick search and u will find it.

as for question 2, you made an error when you ajusted/changed your script… it’s easy to accidently delete or add a } or mistake it for a ), so check your script, or post it so we can see what the problem is.

as for creating textures, everyone has their own likes and dislikes as to what works… gimp is a free program that some ppl swear by, it confuses me… but it’s more like photoshop from what i hear, and that program confused me more… lol

i like psp, but thats not free… but i also use windows paint, and irfanview to make textures and texture editing… along with psp…

here’s a link to the gimp

and irfanview which many would agree, is always a good program to have around for misc photo stuff’s…

EDIT: hmmzz… shaderman beat me to it… i wonder who that caped crusader is… :smiley:

        trigger game_manager victory

        }

        }

The map is won by the Allied if they blow the robot. How can I do this in my script? Or is it correct? :???:

(MadMaximus) #6

lol, k… that looks a little confusing to me… the format of it…

but i’ll have a go of it… if you could organize the format a bit better, it’s all to clustered in the middle to make out proper.

in your trigger victory in the game_manager, it’s missing a } to close it.
after the trigger flag1blue routine in the game_manager, u need to close the game_manager with another }

(Mapper X) #7

Thx madmaximus,

I added the 2 ‘}’ u said.
But I still got the error, end script not found, line 413 (last line)

:???: :???: :???:

(Mapper X) #8

You da men Madmaximus and Shaderman

Thx a lot for you help both of u :clap: :clap: :clap:

Got some new questions :smiley: :


Question 1:
I made a flag that both teams can capture, in the beginning of the map no team has the flag. But the problem is that the flag has an allied flag icon in the command map.


Can u change this icon? :???:
(Mapper X) #9

:angry:

Hi again,

G-Scripting:alertentity cannot find targetname ''flagspawn''

I searched my map and script but I can’t find it :blah:

Plz help me :banana:
