Triggers and Conditions in Scripting

Well I started a script, I have to make trigger multiples that make something each one, and also these triggers aren't the same, so I can't put them in one array, something like this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

        trigger1 = GetEnt("trigger_one","targetname")
        trigger2 = GetEnt("trigger_two","targetname")

The problem is, I don't know how to put a condition to each trigger in a if statement, I've been thinking of a istouching, but that one I think is for trigger radius only, and a waittill, I never see it like a condition in a if, so what can I do?

you can use istouching() for trigger_multiple's, it works fine

one problem already solved

now I need to make another function that detects the last player that touched the trigger, (player already dead and the end game shows).

If you want to get the last player who has touched a trigger you can use something like this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

while(1)
{
     trigger1 waittill ("trigger", who);
     if (isplayer ( who ))
     {
          level.last_player = who;
     }
     wait (.5);
}

The player is stored in the last_player variable. I hope that this will help you.

What if the comparison is between two triggers?, I mean, to know which is the last trigger touched by the last player?

If i understand you correctly this should work. You need 2 instead of 1 loop:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

while (1)
{
      trigger1 waittill ( "trigger" , who);
       if ( isplayer ( who )) 
       {
           level.last_player = who;
           level.last_trigger = trigger1;
       }
       wait ( .5 );
}

//and for the second trigger

while (1)
{
      trigger2 waittill ( "trigger" , who);
       if ( isplayer ( who )) 
       {
           level.last_player = who;
           level.last_trigger = trigger2;
       }
       wait ( .5 );
}

With that I have the rest, now I need to know how to break the while if the if statement within that was fulfilled

Just put a break at the end of the if-statement:

Plaintext

level.last_trigger = trigger1;
break;

Thanks you, now I have all

I don't want to create a new thread, so i will post here my script:

I added this to the main function of zombiemode.gsc

Code Snippet

Plaintext

thread function_one();
thread function_two();

then, before end_game function I added these functions

Code Snippet

Plaintext

function_one()
{
 
        trigger = GetEnt("random_one","targetname");

        level.start = false;

        level.trigger_one_count = 0;

        while (1)
        {
              trigger waittill ( "trigger" , player);

                  if( level.countplayerdown == level.players_playing )
                  {
                       level.start = true;
                       
                       break;
                  }
                  
              level.trigger_one_count++;

              wait ( .5 );
        }
}
function_two()
{

        trigger1 = GetEnt("random_two","targetname")

        level.start_two = false;
        
        level.trigger_two_count = 0;
        
        while (1)
        {
             trigger1 waittill ( "trigger" , player);
                  
                  if( level.countplayerdown == level.players_playing )
                  {
                       level.start_two = true;
                       
                       break;
                  }
             
             level.trigger_two_count++;

             wait ( .5 );
        }

}

Well I modified a variable (count) in player_damage_override in to level.countplayerdown, so I can use that in whatever function or gsc I want, I have to clarify that this is my understanding about level variables (maybe I'm wrong), that's why all my variables are level variables. My main error on those functions is this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

level.start_two = false;

Maybe there is more errors. Also I want to know why I can't use getplayers(); (or get_players():, I've seen this two options) in my functions, because if I use that it gives me a bad syntax error, I wrote something like this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

players = getplayers();
or 
players = get_players();

I read something in this forum about I can't use this function if I don't use an array, I'm not sure about that.

Missing ; at the end of the first line of function_two so it shows the next line as the error.

well now it's fixed, but now another error shows, in the first bracket in the if statement

Code Snippet

Plaintext

        If( level.start == true && level.start_two == false )
        { // Here is the error
            setmusicstate("music_one");
        }

        If( level.start == false && level.start_two == true )
        {
            setmusicstate("music_two");
        }

Do you have
#include maps\_music;
At the top of your script?

not positive since ive never tried to do capitalized operators but I do know in other languages the operators are case sensitive and using a capital I in an if statement would not be recognized as an operator.
