Doom 3 test map script Kill( ) event not working?

[games-furious]

I just made a test with script here from darkmod but i put $player1 and not work after $info_player_start_1 and nothing.

If possible help me. please.

 

Create the script file

If your map is called for example maps/mydir/mymap.map, you must create a text file maps/mydir/mymap.script.

 

The contents

The map script needs to contain a main function. This function is called at the very start of your map, e.g. when the map is loaded for the first time. So if you want something to happen later, you need to pause the script and then do something. Here is an example:

void main () {         

    sys.waitFrame(); // always wait one frame before doing anything in main()

                     // this ensures that the init() routines have all finished


    sys.wait(100);   // wait 100 seconds


    /* $entityName here acts upon a specific entity. Be careful, if you rename

       the entity in DR, your script will break! $player1 is the player entity,

       and this only works in single player mode. However, there is no multiplayer

       in TDM, so we can safely use it for now: */


    // put some information in the console

    sys.println("Going to kill the entity " + $player1.getName() );


    $player1.kill();     // kill the player

}

TDM team has changed many things at the engine level, they perhaps also changed how the player entity is defined, but i'm not sure I don't work with TDM engine, also you could try to get the player entity instead of accessing it directly.

 

Something like this.

void main () {         
    sys.waitFrame(); // always wait one frame before doing anything in main()
                     // this ensures that the init() routines have all finished

    sys.wait(100);   // wait 100 seconds

    /* $entityName here acts upon a specific entity. Be careful, if you rename
       the entity in DR, your script will break! $player1 is the player entity,
       and this only works in single player mode. However, there is no multiplayer
       in TDM, so we can safely use it for now: */
    
    entity player_ent = sys.getEntity("player1");

    if(player_ent != $null_entity)
    {
       // put some information in the console
       sys.println("Going to kill the entity " + player_ent.getName() );

       player_ent.kill();     // kill the player
    }
    else 
    {
        sys.println("Unable to find requested entity!!");
    }
}

$player1 is the correct way to access the player.

[games-furious]

I tried your code he write to console " Going to Kill the entity player1 but dont kill the player

 

like i said i use a Doom 3 editor v.1.31 and there the player is need have like info_player_start for open map

 

Strange dont work.

 

May be if possible assign value of health = 0 for player in run time may be can work?

$player1 is the correct way to access the player.

 

You are certainly right and that was how idSoftware did it and that should be what he should ultimally use, what I said was just because for some reason that was not working for him. You can also use the "pointer" symbol $ for any entity that exist in the map.

 

But in my defence, i'm sure you know the base for all classes in the engine is idEntity including the idActor class from where the player is based so sys.getEntity should work even for the player.

The kill script function is really for idAI like monsters and stuff, so i assume it doesn't work for the player, you can kill the player with a cvar so you could try that, call the console cmd "kill" that will kill the player instantly no matter what health value he has.

 

Btw the player is one of the entities where most of its functionality is handled in c++ not by script, so some things you will be able to do only by editing the source code i'm afraid.

 

Don't know if this will work but try it.

 

sys.setcvar( "kill", "1" );

sys.setcvar make nothing

 

like i said if possible got real health o player1 i think is possible setHealth but for now got only health = 0 with player1 and in HUD appear 100 lol

What I really need is to load a my gui showing a timer decrementing from 5 minutes to 0 then shows a message that you loose, can be in the HUD itself but I do not know how to do it then load the restart gui in image
