Picking up Weapons [solved] and Death Functions [unsolved]

How do I make it so that a player can't pick up any "new weapons" (wall, box, etc.)?

EDIT: Also, in the

Code Snippet

Plaintext

waittill()

function, which statement corresponds to which in-game event: "fake_death", "death", and "player_downed" to downing, bleeding out, and being revived?

Turret Power

I made a script to turn on jug by using a turret for 10 seconds (not necessarily consecutive). There are no syntax errors, however, jug turns on within 10 seconds of my spawning in, regardless of whether I am using the turret or not. Here is my script:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

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

main()
{
	players = get_players();
	player = players[0];
	activator = 0;
	while(activator < 200)
	{
		firing = player IsFiring();
		if(player HasWeapon("30cal_bipod_stand") && (firing == "true"))
		{
			wait(0.05);
			activator = activator + 1;
		}
	}
	level notify("juggernog_on");
}

Thanks in advance! (Also, another thing is that this will only work for player 1 right now (solo). This is just for testing and not a concern as of now).

Could someone please explain to me the functions in this script? I am trying to add thunder and lightning into my map.

Disable a trigger only for a certain player?

Would it just be

Code Snippet

Plaintext

players[0] trigger disable_trigger();

or would I have to do something else?

Miscellaneous Questions

A few questions I encountered today while scripting. 1: How does one go about turning a perk machine "off"? 2: I am quite aware of the

Code Snippet

Plaintext

waittill("trigger")

function, but is there a way to test "if" a trigger has been activated rather than making the script wait for a trigger? 3. What are the KVPs that distinguish different Pandora's Boxes (ex. how the first and third locations are different KVP-wise)? Thanks in advance!

Reznov Character

For the fun of it, I'm trying to put Reznov as a zombies character, so I changed the char_zomb_player_0 csv and gsc from:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

rawfile,character/char_zomb_player_0.gsc
xmodel,char_usa_marine_polonsky_zomb

and:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

main()
{
	self setModel("char_usa_marine_polonsky_zomb");
	self.voice = "american";
}

precache()
{
	precacheModel("char_usa_marine_polonsky_zomb");
}

to:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

rawfile,character/char_zomb_player_0.gsc
xmodel,char_rus_guard_reznov

and:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

main()
{
	self setModel("char_usa_marine_polonsky_zomb");
	self.voice = "american";
}

precache()
{
	precacheModel("char_rus_guard_reznov");
}

Both Dempsey and Reznov's models include heads so I thought this should work fine. I built the mod, went into third person, and saw some weird glitch-esque thing where the camera was halfway in the floor. I even included the xmodel file in my mods folder and added this line to my mod.csv:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

xmodel,char_rus_guard_reznov

and it still doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Nvm, caught the obvious typo *facepalm*

Post Merge: April 04, 2014, 01:05:37 am

Well, I fixed the business in the gsc, but in 3rd person Reznov looks like this: http://imgur.com/Gy7Z0Px Any possible reasons why?

Timers

The map that I'm working on relies a lot on timers, so I'm going to ask three questions about them. Answers to any would be greatly appreciated. How do I pause a timer? How do I extract the current value (how many seconds) of a timer? How do I make it so that more time goes down on them more or less than one second per second? Thanks in advance!

Trigger Use Problem

Rather than display the HintString I gave it, the trigger_use I made just shows that hand icon and does not perform the function it is supposed to. Here is the script (in radiant I gave the trigger_use a targetname of button_jug_trig):

Code Snippet

Plaintext

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

main()
{
	flag_wait("all players connected");
	players = get_players();
	level.zombie_cost = players.size * 200;
	thread generator_process_jug();
}

generator_process_jug()
{
	while(1)
	{
		button_jug_trig = getEnt("button_jug_trig", "targetname");
		button_jug_trig SetCursorHint( "HINT_NOICON" );
		button_jug_trig SetHintString("Press &&1 to activate the generator [Cost:" + level.zombie_cost + "]);
		activator = undefined;
 
		button_jug_trig waittill("trigger", activator);
		if (activator.score >= level.zombie_cost)
		{
			button_jug_trig disable_trigger();
			activator.score = activator.score - level.zombie_cost;
			jug_timer = create_simple_hud();
			jug_timer.foreground = true;
			jug_timer.sort = 4;
			jug_timer.hidewheninmenu = false;
			jug_timer.alignX = "left";
			jug_timer.alignY = "top";
			jug_timer.horzAlign = "left";
			jug_timer.vertAlign = "top";
			jug_timer.fontScale = 1.5;
			jug_timer.x = 5;
			jug_timer.y = 5;
			jug_timer.color = (1,0,0);
			jug_timer setTimer(12);
			level.custom_jug_timer = jug_timer;
			wait(12);
			level notify("juggernog on");
			jug_timer destroy();
			break;
		}
		else
		{
			wait(0.05);
		}
	}

Going Between Maps

Does the ChangeLevel function work in zombies? It would be awesome to have an easter egg that teleported you to the next map!

Converting Dialogue

I was trying to do some testing for changing dialogue, so I looked at the soundalias for Dempsey's power quote (plr_0_vox_level_start_0,voiceovers\zombie\dlc3\plr0\power_out_00.wav,,,,1,1,75,1700,2,reject,1,reject,voice,,curve2,0.8,2100,,curve2,1,1,,3d,streamed,,,master,,,,,,0,,,,50,500,0.9,0.5,,,,,,10,25,0.25,1,,) and created a .wav called power_out_00 (unsigned 8 bit pcm, no tags, mono track) and saved it under soundassets\raw\sound\voiceovers\zombie\dlc3\plr0. Then I went to Launcher and added this line to the mod builder: sound,plr_0_vox_level_start_0. Finally, I built both the mod.ff and sounds at the same time, but there is no updated file when I look in raw/sound (In fact, the folders haven't even been created)! Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Weird lag and unplayability.

So I just created a new area in my map (it has been zoned, path nodes and spawners have been placed and are linked to the door). Whenever I open the door and enter the room for the first time, there is lag as if the game has paused for a second and then it resumes normally. Also, after staying in this room for some time, zombies will no longer be able to make their way over to the room properly and freeze as if there were no path nodes. Even the zombies inside the room freeze! Please help!

Problem with a traverse.

So I was trying to get my zombies to crawl through a hole using the traverse "through_hole_42", but when I try to run the map, I get an error saying "Could not find label 'main' in script 'animscripts/traverse/through_hole_42'". Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

How do I make an entity move?

I want a script brushmodel with a player clip texture to move up at a certain point (so the player can access the area behind it) and go down again later (so the player can no longer go to that area). How can I accomplish this?
