scriptlibrary

[Johannes Burock]

because i have to do scripting in some weeks i want to ask if we, or those who skripted allready can create a library of scripts (or does such a thing excist allready?) .

 

I mean this way:

 

topic

discription

code

 

f.e.:

 

ghostlight, moving lights

 

a moving light allong a nurbscurve

 

 

{

{$"name of the mover".startSpline($"name of the path or nurbscurve"); ##give the mover the path to fly along

sys.wait(49);

}

 

void main()

{

$mover_irrwisch1.time(49); ##speeddefinition/time for the whole path in sec

$mover_irrwisch1.decelTime(1);

$mover_irrwisch1.accelTime(1);

 

while(1)

{

movewisp1();

}

}

 

 

 

i mean also this for many people very complicate topic could make it much easyer for new mappers...copy into the script and change some parameters for the map...

if there is such a thing, sorry for that

It's actually a great idea as I suck at scripting.

 

Maybe we can have a spot on the wiki with scripts.

[Sotha]

Sounds cool. I was thinking of doing it but I never really had time.

 

Here's what I know:

 

Basic cutscene scripting:

Check grayman's excellent cutscene tutorial in the wiki. Tells how to activate cameras and move things using script commands and nurbs curves.

 

Misc commands:

 

sys.trigger( $entity);

Allows the mapper to trigger things from a script.

 

sys.wait(time);

Wait this time. time in seconds.

 

sys.println("print something");

Prints something in the console. Good for debugging your scripts.

 

$entityname.unbind();

Unbinds entity entityname. It detaches from whatever it is bound to and drops to the floor. Used for example in Transaction, Grenefeld's eye glasses. Or Lich Queens scroll. Looks cool. Note that the object must be a moveable with a CM. Otherwise it will probably just float in the air after detaching. You can make anything moveable like this: make a brush with texture collision. Make it a moveable entity. Create the model the object is supposed to look like. Bind the model into the moveable collision texture brush. Done.

 

$ai-name.moveToEntity($entity-name);

Makes AI named "ai-name" to walk to entity "entity-name" If your AI is on patrol, he will stop whatever he was doing, walk to the entity and then resume patrol. This was used in Transaction to control the prisoner; as she walks out of the cell. Entity-name can be any entity, I usually use path_corner nodes.

 

$ai-name.turnToEntity($entity-name);

Makes AI named ai-name turn towards entity called entity-name

 

$player1.setWorldOrigin('824 752 56');

Command to teleport the player somewhere so that he maintains his bearings. The make the player change direction to a certain angle, use the player teleport entity.

 

That's what I have in my toolbox. Hopefully someone finds these useful.

In tdm_base01.pk4\script\ you can find doom_events.script and tdm_events.script, that's pretty much what you're looking for.

thats a good one, but also there a newbe have to search VERY long and have to experiment long time. My idea is to do this VERY simpel:

 

see the topic of the script, read some lines of discription and copy the nearly finished script into theyr own, change some things, finished

Yes, it's more something like what Sotha described.

[stumpy]

there's also

 

sys.waitFor($entityname); wait for something to stop doing something usually use it with waiting for a func_rotate to stop rotating

 

$entityname.On(); turn on named light

$entityname.Off(); turn off named light

 

$entityname.rotateOnce(y z x); used with func_rotate, rotate to angle set in x y z

 

float variblename = numericvalue; used outside void functions

 

variblename = numericvalue; used inside void functions

 

$entityname.Open(); open door

$entityname.Close(); close door

 

$entityname.Unlock(); unlock door

 

$entityname.setFrobable( 0 ); disable frob on a frobable item

$entityname.setFrobable( 1 ); enable frob on a frobable item

 

$player1.addInvItem($entityname); add item to players inventory

$player1.replaceInvItem($entityname1, $entityname2); replace $entityname1 in players inventory with $entityname2, removes $entityname1 from game.

 

$entityname.activate($player1); use button via script

 

 

if ( variblevalue == numericvalue )

{

<do something>

}

else

{

<do something else>

}

 

$entityname.setModel("path to model"); change an items model to a new model.

 

namedfunction(); gosub, go to function defined in function before function its called in.

[Shadowhide]

I found way how bind something to player

 

$entityname.bind( $player1 );

[Shadowhide]

still looking for solution: how make binded entity rotate with entity master

Edited April 26, 2011 by Shadowhide

[Mortem Desino]

It should already rotate when the master rotates. The only time it won't is if you're using bindPosition( master );

[Shadowhide]

nope,it doesn't

[Mortem Desino]

Oh, I see. You're trying to bind a func_shooter, which I believe doesn't use the 'angles' spawnarg to change the direction it shoots.

[Shadowhide]

doom 3 has scene where scientist turning into the zombie ingame (model dynamically changing from normal to zombie)

 

how do they do that ?

 

 

 

 

 

[Mortem Desino]

Flashing lights. You know how doom 3's dark shadows were 100% pitch black? They could hide model skin changes in-between the flickering of the lights.

[stumpy]

...$<name of object to change>.setModel("<path to new model/name of model + .ext>");

 

you dont need the 3 dots before the dollar sign I just put them there cos the forum wouldn't let me type a dollar sign at the front of a word, posted it as {context}:name
