Problem with Objectives


grayman

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to drop an object in a location to satisfy an Objective.

 

Following the directions "An Objective to place an object in a Certain Location" on the Objectives wiki page, I used the Objectives editor to tie an object to an info_tdm_objective_location brush.

 

The objective shows up on my Objectives page.

 

The object and the brush are properly named and present in the Objectives editor.

 

But when I drop the object in the location, I get no success message.

 

Anyone else try this?

 

I've played all fan missions but one, and I don't recall this type of objective being used in any of them.

 

Thanks

I've attached a testmap for you. It's got objectives for moving three different things to a barrel.

 

1. Corpse.

2. Living AI.

3. Movable (bucket).

proxobj.map.txt (rename the file extension to .map)

 

 

You can also take a look-see at Return to the City. It's got objectives related to moving a block of explosives.

This test map uses the objective type "bring 2 things next to each other", which I could use as Plan B.

 

However, I'm trying to use "place object into a location brush".

 

RTTC is the one map I can't play (can't get out of the starting alley), but I did look at the source map. It was slightly different than how I have mine set up, so I changed mine to match and it still doesn't work.

Okay, problem solved.

 

The wiki instructions say to give the location brush the spawnflag "objective_ent" "1".

 

However, it should say to give the object that spawnflag. Not the brush.

 

Can someone correct the wiki instructions?

 

Thanks for the help.

Ninja'd! Here's my reply anyway... (I'll look at the wiki to correct it.)

 

 

There are two things that can commonly go wrong with this type of objective:

 

If the location is a info_tdm_objective_location entity then use be at 'location' in the objectives not 'info location'. It's confusing but there is another type of location entity that is used for various things not just objectives.

 

The other thing is that the object itself (with the exception of the player) must also have the property/value: objective_ent 1

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
