Title: Script Help Check if Statements
Post by: pashan on March 31, 2014, 01:35:44 am

How do i script to tell the computer to make a trigger activable if a certain trigger has been activated?

Title: Re: Script Help Check if Statements

first disable the trigger at the very start of the function with

disable_trigger();

and after the player use the first trigger set a falg like this

flag_set("stop_wait");

and make the trigger that you disabled to wait till the flag has been set up to show it to the players like

flag_wait("stop_wait");
enable_trigger();

it would be easier to understand if you could post your code to make the required changes

what if i have multiple triggers to disable and enable:

What i mean:

( player uses trigger 1 = makes trigger 2 usable
 player uses trigger 2 = makers trigger 3 usable

and so on.....)

can i keep on changing "stop_wait"

to stop_wait_two

stop_wait_three

and so on..... ?!?!

everytrigger must wait for the last trigger to notify the flag. yeah you should be fine

Title: Re: Script Help Check if Statements
Post by: JBird632 on March 31, 2014, 02:00:20 am

Yes, you can set it up to do that.
Personally I wouldn't use flags, I would just set it up like this:

trigger1 waittill("trigger", player);
// do stuff
trigger2 waittill("trigger", player);
// do stuff
trigger3 waittill("trigger", player);
// do stuff

you hide them and show them where I said "do stuff"
also to set the hintstring you simply put:

trigger1 SetHintString( "What ever you want it to say" );

well i prefer using flags cause i've had bad memories using waittill player but i think it might work the same  :o
if you want the hint string to have something like "press F" you put

press &&1

inside the hinstring, also if ou want the text to be yellow you put

press ^3&&1^7

ex:

    level.storagecost = 500; 		
trig setHintString("Press ^3&&1^7 to store your weapon["+level.storagecost+"]");

dosn't sethintstring make if so when your near the trigger it will display a little message

then thing i want is a message to show up after i use the trigger (like an objective thing on the top left corner)

i am a beginer to scripting:

I get a bad synatx error in this script

#include maps\_utility;

#include maps\_zombiemode_utility;


ray_steps();

trigger_one = getent("s_one", "targetname");
trigger_one sethinstring(" Press and hold &&1 for Ray Gun ");

this is also a test script for a step by step easter egg to get a ray gun at the end

Title: Re: Script Help Check if Statements
Post by: JBird632 on March 31, 2014, 03:59:18 am

You ended the function and started a new new one with out a function name/function call?
Lines 18 and 19

Also when you said

trigger delete();

it should be

trigger_one delete();

(same with the second one)

When you tell the game to enable/disable a trigger you must put the trigger name that you want to enable/disable
example:

trigger_one disable_trigger();

This was probably going to go back and forth for a while so I just edited the code:

ray_steps()
{
	trigger_one = getent("s_one", "targetname");
	trigger_one sethinstring(" Press and hold &&1 for Ray Gun ");
	trigger_one setCursorHInt( "HINT_NOICON" );
	trigger_two = getent("s_two", "targetname");
	trigger_two sethinstring(" Press and hold &&1 for Ray Gun ");
	trigger_two setCursorHInt( "HINT_NOICON" );

	trigger_two Hide();
	trigger_two disable_trigger();
	trigger_one waittill("trigger", player);
	iprintln("onjective 1");
	trigger_one delete();
	trigger_two thread ray_steps_two();
}

ray_steps_two()
{
	self Show();
	self enable_trigger();

	self waittill("trigger", player);
	iprintln("onjective 2");

	self delete();
}

Like I said before, I prefer not using flags, so I instead called the second function from the first.

add this stuff back to the top of the code:

Post by: Ege115 on March 31, 2014, 04:59:07 am

You make a new enity with the Getent stuff like this to lets say that we name it to trigger_three.

trigger_three = getent("trigger_three", "targetname");

And then you have the different functions in your code you can choose from like,

trigger_three hide();

And when you want the trigger to show,

trigger_three show();

dosn't sethintstring make if so when your near the trigger it will display a little message

then thing i want is a message to show up after i use the trigger (like an objective thing on the top left corner)

If you are creating objectives use the objective functions which can be found here:

http://www.zeroy.com/script/ (http://www.zeroy.com/script/) (look under objective)

Specifically: "objective_add()", "objective_delete()", and "objective_state()"

If you just want to print something the way an objective would outside of an objective context you can use the function:

iprintln("Text");

Do not apply this function to all players if you are using a trigger though. When my friend presses a trigger in the game, almost always I don't need to see it as I wasn't the person who pressed it. For this you can use something such as:

trigger waittill("trigger", player);
player iprintln("You just pressed that button");
