This is a function inside of the utility for the ber2 map which is the "Eviction" mission
Code Snippet
Plaintext
// Will force an AI to use a turret // Guy - Ai // Turret - turret to use // ender - what level notification will stop this thread //This should be called using thread* guy_stay_on_turret( guy, turret, ender ) { if( IsDefined( ender ) ) { level endon( ender ); } turret endon( "death" ); guy endon( "death" );
Any call to a function will require a parameter () included in it, that is the easiest way to tell if something is a function or if its some kind of variable/data manipulation.
Function call:
Code Snippet
Plaintext
nodeOccupied = ai IsNodeOccupied(node); //determines if a pathnode is occupied by an AI and stores the result in nodeOccupied
variable manipulation:
Code Snippet
Plaintext
ai.ignoreSuppression = true; //makes the AI suppression from weapons
As for the definition of these functions specifically. I dont remember if both are engine functions but i do know that Hide() is, I have included a small description of each function for you
Code Snippet
Plaintext
trigger UseTriggerRequireLookAt();//makes it so the player must look directly at the trigger to use it
Code Snippet
Plaintext
model Hide();//makes any world entity invisible to the player, don't know if it removes collision of the entity
The best place to find information on a lot of the engine functions and some of the standard .gsc utility functions is to look at the script reference here: https://www.ugx-mods.com/script/#
Most of the utility functions found in the _utility.gsc and _zombiemode_utility.gsc has documentation on each of the functions and how to use them
Looks cool, must have been a ton of work! congrats on the release!
Thanks man! Like i said it took about 2 years to development plus early this summer I scrapped about 75% of the code and started over but I'm sure it still didn't require as much work as the realism mod that you just released!
Abstract: Normandy, France 1944. The Allies have landed on the beaches in Normandy and are pushing their way into Nazi Occupied France. There is a long way to go before the Allies reach the heart of Germany. There will be multiple German Artillery Batteries and Supply Trucks that will need to be eliminated and German Intelligence that will need to be collected. Will you help the Allied Forces liberate Nazi Occupied France or help the Germans secure their foothold against the invading forces?

Update 1.1: - Fix for Player to Player damage, each time a Player damaged another Player no longer is counted as a kill - Removed Friendly Player to Player damage, Friendly Players can no longer damage each other Known Issues: Menu buttons don't flash after level restart Older Versions:
I've yet to see any of your code other than a single function line so I can't help you understand what is being done incorrectly if I don't know what you're doing other than a single line of code.
Please post snippets of your actual code and then I would be happy to help you in the right direction with your issues of AI navigation.
I'm pretty sure you've asked similar questions about AI navigation? ???
Anyways I've never used
Code Snippet
Plaintext
<AI> UseCoverNode( <path node> );
I've only used
Code Snippet
Plaintext
<AI> SetGoalNode( <path node> );
the different Cover Node classes are children of the Path Node class so they can be passed into the function properly and the AI will automatically play the animations for the cover Hope this helps
you can move an FX, but what you will want to do is use the function named
Code Snippet
Plaintext
fx = playfxontag(id, ent, tag);
where 'id' is the FX id, ent is the script_model that you want to play the FX on, and tag is the model tag you where you want the FX attached. example:
Code Snippet
Plaintext
fx = PlayFxOnTag(level._effect["bouledefeu"], level.model, "tag_origin");
PS: if you ran it in developer mode you should have gotten an error saying "Type String is not an entity and cannot call EnableLinkTo"
It would be hard to just tell you where to place these functions since all used for deciding where you want AI to navigate to. The SetGoalNode(node) is for sending the AI to a location after you've decided which node you want to send them to.
If you want to send an AI to an objective you do so by
Code Snippet
Plaintext
//Note: this simply moves an AI to the objective position, doesn't account for the fact that there may already be someone there nodes = level GetAllNodes(); moveToNode = getClosest(objective.origin, nodes); ai SetGoalNode(moveToNode);
Need to use to ensure that the AI is able to move to the node, if the node is occupied the AI will not move
Code Snippet
Plaintext
nodes = level GetAllNodes(); moveToNode = getClosest(objective.origin, nodes); //this will move the AI to node only if it isnt being occupied by another friendly AI If(!IsNodeOccupied(moveToNode)) { ai SetGoalNode(moveToNode); }
I hope that helps you under stand how to use these functions together to allow your AI to move
For starters they don't like to move with the command of
Code Snippet
Plaintext
SetGoalPos(mg.pos)
instead try to use
Code Snippet
Plaintext
SetGoalNode(node)
. Also unlike enemy AI friendlies can't be sent to the same node or goal position like you can with enemies. If you send friendlies to the same goal node only one of them will move and the rest will stay, so be sure to make use of
Code Snippet
Plaintext
IsNodeOccupied(node)
.
PS: for enemy AI the function IsNodeOccupied() is always false
pap_powerup() { //ensure the player is valid if(!is_player_valid(self)) { return; } currentWeapon = self GetCurrentWeapon(); //ensure current weapon exists, its not a grenade and that its not already upgraded if(!isDefined(currentWeapon) || getWeaponType(currentWeapon) == "grenade" || isSubStr(currentWeapon, "upgraded")) { return; } //make the weapon upgraded upgradeWeapon += "_upgraded"; //take the current weapon and give the upgraded one self takeWeapon(currentWeapon); self giveWeapon(upgradeWeapon); self switchTo(upgradeWeapon); }
