error while I try run my map

it signs :

maps/mymapscript.script - line 8 to many parametrs

here is the scripts itself :

 

void CemetaryScript()

{

$player1.frob_item($CemetaryButton);

}

anyone ?

 

 

 

[AluminumHaste]

anyone ?

 

 

 

 

Well it says line 8, but that script you posted only has 4 lines, can you post the entire script file blank lines included?

[Shadowhide]

even if I remove previous script (that consist of 4 lines too),error is not disappearing

 

here is whole .script file

 

void addItem()

{

$player1.AddInvItem($SpoiledItemName);

}

 

 

____one line____

 

void CemetaryScript()

{

$player1.frob_item($CemetaryButton);

}

Try changing

 

$player1.frob_item($CemetaryButton);

 

to

 

frob_item($CemetaryButton);

[stumpy]

might be wanting

 

$CemetaryButton.activate($player1);

[demagogue]

Yeah, buttons are activated and pass the activator, so I think stumpy has it right.

 

Edit: To elaborate...

 

The way you had it, you were trying to frob the player and pass the button, which just ... doesn't work. (For one thing, you can't pass anything, that's why you get an error for having a parameter. One is one too many.)

 

Open question if you can frob the button and pass the player -- $CemetaryButton.frob_item($player1); -- but I'm not sure that's the way frobbing works. I think even frobbing the button you can't pass anything to it, so you'd still get a "too many parameters" error (even if you didn't pass anything, it's not clear the frobbing code would properly activate the button, since the script is doing the frobbing and not a player/AI as expected.)

 

Anyway, activate is the standard way to go. Remember, the base for core things like buttons, doors, speakers, etc, is still Doom3 which didn't have frobbing... It was activating everything, and frobbing was something TDM added later with its own rules pretty much intended for literal frobbing in the world.

Try changing

 

$player1.frob_item($CemetaryButton);

 

to

 

frob_item($CemetaryButton);

 

Thanks Fidcal,it works

 

@demagogue,stumpy : thanks for explanation how d3 script system works

how to remove key from inventory,after it used ?

What the...

 

For some reason I cannot create lin-files when the map is leaking...

 

Console says it couldn't open maps/mymapfile/mymapfile.lin

 

[Melan]

Fieldmedic: if you have a mission installed, D3 puts the lin files in its folder, but DarkRadiant doesn't find it. Copy it to your map folder and it will work.

[DeTeEff]

I know, but the file isn't even created...I have searched the whole Doom3 folder...

 

 

 

 

 

I can play the map, even after a failed DMAP, but it says the AAS is out of date, of course...

 

 

 

 

 

Darkmod finally pulled the stick from its rectum...now it could create the file I have tried copying everything in the map to a new map and saved. Tried to install new missions. Tried DMAP other missions...now it suddenly CAN make a lin-file...

 

Thanks for the help anyway

 

It's in these cases it's good to take out the aggressions on other games, like the UT2004 mod Ballistic Weapons...

 

That mod could be a good challenger to TDM, but as it's totally different engine and type of game and concept, I'd have to put them both on the throne.

[Mortem Desino]

simply put, uninstall your current FM, so the LIN file is put in the doom3/darkmod/maps directory instead of the doom3/FMname/maps directory

[Shadowhide]

and how make entity unfrobable via script ?

 

how to remove key from inventory after it being used ?

 

anyone ?

 

 

[Fidcal]

To set frobable 0 from script....

 

$<entityname>.setFrobable(0);

 

I don't think there is a remove only script; you use replace with a null entity so...

 

To remove the key from inventory after use make the door target a script caller to...

 

float var=$player1.replaceInvItem ($key, $null_entity);

 

[edit] You might also need to use $key.remove(); as I'm not sure where the key will go.

[DeTeEff]

Maybe teleport the key to the blueroom?

[Shadowhide]

Thanks Fidcal,I will try it tomorrow

 

@Fieldmedic: I'm not sure... ,func_remove not deleting entity from inventory too

its working

 

 

Its possible to freeze player somehow ?

[Fidcal]

I think it can be done with a camera but someone else like grayman can probably answer this better than I can. If not I'll have a look to see if I can figure it out. It's four years since I did something like that.

[Shadowhide]

Ok,another question ( but privious still actual)

 

How to teleport player ? atdm:teleport entity will work ?

[DeTeEff]

Is it possible to alter the scaling on model textures via the mtr-file? Or do I need to edit the original diffuse and normalmaps to get that effect?

[nbohr1more]

Try "scale"

 

http://www.modwiki.net/wiki/Scale_%28Material_stage_keyword%29

[DeTeEff]

It's even is stated in the mtr-file!

 

Fieldmedic, you're not worthy...

[nbohr1more]

That's OK, scale can also be applied to materials for other purposes so it's not always clear about it's role... but it's main mission is resizing.

[Fidcal]

Ok,another question ( but privious still actual)

 

How to teleport player ? atdm:teleport entity will work ?

Use base > info_player_teleport.

Give it the spawnarg and value: target info_player_start_1

Give it the spawnarg angle with a value if you want to force the player to turn to face a particular direction.

[Shadowhide]

hm... use doom3 entity ? is that good ?
