Is that first line missing a close paren on the end? Oops!

 

Forgot to scroll, all three are there.

[Tr00pertj]

To specifically fit your situation ...

 

if ( ( $player1.getObjectiveState(1) == 1 ) && ( $player1.getObjectiveState(6) == 1 ) &&
( ( $player1.getObjectiveState(2) == 1 ) || ( $player1.getObjectiveState(3) == 1 ) || ( $player1.getObjectiveState(4) == 1 ) ) )
{
 // the objectives have been met
}
else
{
 // the objectives haven't been met
}

 

Thanks grayman,

 

Will try this. Correct me if I'm wrong but this code should go befor the scepter call right?

 

void checkForScepter()

{

if ($player1.heldEntity() == $scepter)

{

sys.trigger($speaker_14); //play the sound

sys.trigger($speaker_13); //play the sound

sys.wait(2); //wait a while befor teleport, so the player can hear the sound

$player1.setOrigin($teleport1.getOrigin());

$player1.setAngles($teleport1.getAngles());

}

}

 

 

Oh disregard my comments in this post DOH!

 

I now realize the method.

IIRC, you're going to check for the scepter only if the objectives are met.

 

If that's correct, then you want it to look like this:

 

void checkForScepter()
{
 if ( ( $player1.getObjectiveState(1) == 1 ) && ( $player1.getObjectiveState(6) == 1 ) &&
	( ( $player1.getObjectiveState(2) == 1 ) || ( $player1.getObjectiveState(3) == 1 ) || ( $player1.getObjectiveState(4) == 1 ) ) )
 {
// the objectives have been met

if ($player1.heldEntity() == $scepter)
{
  sys.trigger($speaker_14); // play the sound
  sys.trigger($speaker_13); // play the sound
  sys.wait(2); // wait a while before teleport, so the player can hear the sound
  $player1.setOrigin($teleport1.getOrigin());
  $player1.setAngles($teleport1.getAngles());
}
 }
}

[Obsttorte]

Regarding the $player1.setAngles(...) part, it doesn't seem to work. I tested it myself and the viewing direction is not changed at all. Is there another way to change the direction the player looks at after a cinematic?

[grayman]

Why not just activate the teleporter?

[Tr00pertj]

Actually not sure.

 

Does this code have a bracket or two wrong?

 

if ( ( $player1.getObjectiveState(1) == 1 ) && ( $player1.getObjectiveState(6) == 1 ) &&

( ( $player1.getObjectiveState(2) == 1 ) || ( $player1.getObjectiveState(3) == 1 ) || ( $player1.getObjectiveState(4) == 1 ) ) )

{

($player1.heldEntity() == $scepter)

{

sys.trigger($speaker_14); //play the sound

sys.trigger($speaker_13); //play the sound

sys.wait(2); //wait a while befor teleport, so the player can hear the sound

$player1.setOrigin($teleport1.getOrigin());

$player1.setAngles($teleport1.getAngles());

} // the objectives have been met

}

else

{

// the objectives haven't been met

}

void checkForScepter()

{

}

[Tr00pertj]

Hay grayman do you have my code WOW. Thanks Heaps & Heaps.

I thought of a cinematic for my mission but the logistics alone stop me from trying.

 

Is this a sign that your next mission will have cinema? If so I will continue waiting in anticipation.

info_player_teleport does not work. The game crashes if it get's triggered.

[Obsttorte]

{

sys.trigger($speaker_14); //play the sound

sys.trigger($speaker_13); //play the sound

sys.wait(2); //wait a while befor teleport, so the player can hear the sound

$player1.setOrigin($teleport1.getOrigin());

$player1.setAngles($teleport1.getAngles());

} // the objectives have been met

}

else

{

}

void checkForScepter()

}

You've copied it wrong. checkForScepter() goes to the beginning.

[Tr00pertj]

No worries Obstortte grayman posted just what I needed. I'm almost sure grayman has telepathetic abilities ( sorry grayman just joking) seems

like grayman can code like the wind hay.

 

void checkForScepter()

{

if ( ( $player1.getObjectiveState(1) == 1 ) && ( $player1.getObjectiveState(6) == 1 ) &&

( ( $player1.getObjectiveState(2) == 1 ) || ( $player1.getObjectiveState(3) == 1 ) || ( $player1.getObjectiveState(4) == 1 ) ) )

{

// the objectives have been met

 

if ($player1.heldEntity() == $scepter)

{

sys.trigger($speaker_14); // play the sound

sys.trigger($speaker_13); // play the sound

sys.wait(2); // wait a while before teleport, so the player can hear the sound

$player1.setOrigin($teleport1.getOrigin());

$player1.setAngles($teleport1.getAngles());

}

}

}

just a question out of the Blue.

 

Does the burnaway arg work?

Edited August 1, 2013 by Tr00pertj

[grayman]

info_player_teleport does not work. The game crashes if it get's triggered.

 

I've had no problems w/it. Is there a bugtracker issue describing the specific situation?

[grayman]

What is a 'burnaway arg'?

[Sotha]

What is a 'burnaway arg'?

 

AI have that. I think that's a residue from Doom3: when you kill the demons, the bodies burn away.

[grayman]

In that case, "burnaway" isn't supported.

[Obsttorte]

This really sounds like the doom3 burnaway. If you wan't to have something similar to that, I can set up something for you. I still have some nice ai skins plus effects available that strongly goes into that direction. Just pm me.

I placed the entity and trigger it and boom, the game crashes. I have no tracker entry set up for this. Maybe I'm doing something wrong

[Moonbo]

Make sure to target the entity to the player start first.

Perhaps describing how you're using it might give us some clues. If I can reproduce the crash, it needs an issue filed.

[Obsttorte]

I don't understand that.

I placed a info_player_teleport were I want the player to be teleported to. Then I trigger it and boom, TDM crashes. I trigger it from script using sys.trigger(...).

[Obsttorte]

Maybe I should use $teleportername.activate($player1)!? Will test it.

[grayman]

When I searched existing maps for info_player_teleport, I found several instances. I looked at holetower.map and saw that the entity must be targeted to info_player_start.

 

So if I have an info_player_teleport named $Teleport, I then assume that if a script does this:

 

$Teleport.activate($player1);

 

The player will be teleported to $Teleport (i.e. given its "origin" and "angle" setting).

[Obsttorte]

Yep, this way it works.

[Garreth]

hi all, i am in need of a way to trigger on location, but i cant find out how to get it done

it is a Movable entity wich should go to a specified location and then it should trigger, i tried a trigger once with any touch, but no advance the trigger is not responding to the movable.

 

found it, i needed to bind a function activator to it
