How would i give the player double points power up if they hit a trigger?

Reply #1 on: May 26, 2014, 11:59:19 pm

Make a new .gsc and call it buy_powerup.gsc

than insert this

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#include common_scripts\utility;
#include maps\_zombiemode_utility;
#include maps\_utility;
main()
{
  powerup_trigs = getentarray( "buy_powerup", "targetname" );
  array_thread( powerup_trigs,::buy_powerup );
}
buy_powerup()
{
  while(1)
  {
     player = undefined;
     powerup_name = undefined;
     cost = 1000;
     powerup = self.script_noteworthy;
     self UseTriggerRequireLookAt();
     if( powerup == "insta_kill" )
     {
        powerup_name = "Insta Kill";
        cost = 2000;
     }
     else if( powerup == "double_points" )
     {
        powerup_name = "Double Points";
        cost = 1000;
     }
     else if( powerup == "max_ammo" )
     {
        powerup_name = "Max Ammo";
        cost = 1000;
     }
      self SetHintString( "Press &&1 to buy  " + powerup_name + " Powerup [Cost: "+cost+"]" );
      self waittill( "trigger", player );
      if( !is_player_valid( player ) )
     {
        continue;
     }
     if( player.score >= cost )
     {
        player playsound( "cha_ching" );
        player maps\_zombiemode_score::minus_to_player_score( cost );
            if( powerup == "insta_kill" )
        {
           maps\_zombiemode_powerups::insta_kill_powerup();
        }
        else if( powerup == "double_points" )
        {
           maps\_zombiemode_powerups::double_points_powerup();
        }
        else if( powerup == "max_ammo" )
        {
           maps\_zombiemode_powerups::full_ammo_powerup();
        }
     }
     else
     {
        player playsound( "no_cha_ching" );
     }
     wait(30);
  }
}

put this mods mapname maps
Than open radiant and your map. Am sure you don't need a screenshot for this bit ;-) This part is for double points create a trigger use where u want the trigger to be and give the kvps of
script_noteworthy double_points

Code Snippet

Plaintext

 targetname:   buy_powerup

than after that choose a model with you want your trigger to be next to i have chosen zombie_x2_icon now put the trigger and model together

Thanks for you effort haxman123 but i just wanted a little block of code. (Not buyable double points.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#include common_scripts\utility;
#include maps\_utility;
#include maps\_zombiemode_utility;

main()
{
	level.TeddyCount = 0;
	switch = GetEntArray( "button", "targetname" );
	switch sethintstring("");
	switch setCursorHInt( "HINT_NOICON" );
	for( i = 0; i < switch.size; i++ )
		switch[i] thread trigger();
        Play = GetPlayers();
	for(;;)
	{
		if( level.TeddyCount == 5 )
		{
			//double point give code goes here.
		}
		wait .05;
	}
}



trigger()
{
	self waittill( "trigger" );
	level.TeddyCount += 1;
	iprintln("Beep!!!");
 
 
}

It was suppose to be an easter egg

couldnt you use this?

Plaintext

 maps\_zombiemode_powerups::double_points_powerup();

I used that from the code that haxman posted, in the double points part of the script

i just tried your script without my line and still got the bad syntax, so theres something wrong with your code before my line. line 8 says

Code Snippet

Plaintext

switch = GetEntArray( "button", "targetname" );

Do you have multiple triggers with the targetname of button, if you only have 1 then you need to use GetEnt

I imagine that its because you didn't add a space after your for() loop. If you used brackets you probably wouldn't have ran into any issues(its the only potential one that i could see).

EDIT: and i don't think you can call an array onto sethintstring(); or setcursorhint(); moved to in the loop. Also moved the var value watcher into its own function.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

main()
{
	level.TeddyCount = 0;
	switch = GetEntArray( "button", "targetname" );
	for( i = 0; i < switch.size; i++ )
	{
		switch[i] sethintstring("");
		switch[i] setCursorHInt( "HINT_NOICON" );
		switch[i] thread trigger();
	}
	level thread watch_usage();
}
watch_usage()
{
	for(;;)
	{
		if( level.TeddyCount == 5 )
		{
			//double point give code goes here.
		}
		wait .05;
	}
}

I don't think theres any difference, but when i add or subtract a value from a variable i always use:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

var++;

var--;

Not sure if that actually matters though.
