Title: zone spawner getting script
Post by: daedra descent on May 26, 2014, 05:04:36 am

Just want to check to see if anyone could find a problem with this script. "Self" is a zone.

get_zone_spawners()
{
	spawners = undefined;

	zones = getentarray(self.script_noteworthy,"script_noteworthy");

	for( k = 0; k < zones.size; k++ )
	{
		spawners = getEntarray(zones[k].target,"targetname");

		if(level.debug == true && zones[k].is_active == true)
		{
			iprintln("This zone has " + spawners.size + " spawners");
		}
 
		return spawners;
	}
}

Your probably getting an error because you need to have some kind of blank return in the function like if the for flow control returns nothing it will shoot itself in the head.
Not saying it will happen, but on load it runs itself through those scenario's.

Just need to pop it in there for the scripts convenience.

get_zone_spawners()
{
	spawners = undefined;

	zones = getentarray(self.script_noteworthy,"script_noteworthy");

	for( k = 0; k < zones.size; k++ )
	{
		spawners = getEntarray(zones[k].target,"targetname");

		if(level.debug == true && zones[k].is_active == true)
		{
			iprintln("This zone has " + spawners.size + " spawners");
		}
 
		return spawners;
	}
 
	return false;
}

If not that, Is it an error your receiving or text not showing or is it always returning 0?

Nah, the only issue that i get with it is that one or two AI spawn in other zones for whatever reason at the start and i have no real idea why.

Guess i should post the entire code.

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

main()
{
	level.debug = true;	
	level thread zone_think();	
}


Zone_think()
{	
	zones = getEntarray("zones","targetname");
	while(1)
	{
		players = get_players();

		for( i = 0; i < players.size; i++ )
		{
			for( k = 0; k < zones.size; k++ )
			{
				if(players[i] istouching(zones[k]) )
				{
					zones[k].is_active = true;
					zones[k] activate_spawners();
 
					if(zones[k].is_active == true && isdefined(zones[k].script_noteworthy) && level.debug == true )
					{
						players[i] iprintln( "You are in Zone: " + zones[k].script_noteworthy);
					}		
				}
				else
				{
					zones[k].is_active = false;
					zones[k] shut_off_spawners();
				}

If it is only at the beginning of the game, did you try adding a wait before the the code?

Are you calling your code after _zombiemode::main(). Before that, get_players() might not return any players.

This isn't for zombiemode. Its for campaign.

This is practically the same as asylum zoning except its broken down into 5 different functions.

Post by: YaPh1l on May 31, 2014, 12:15:20 pm

Okay, then, are you calling this function after the flag "all_players_connected" has been set?

- Phil.

No i didn't. Thought that was only for COOP.

Well, I'd assume you would want it to work in Coop too. all_players_connected will also be set in SP, so no harm in waiting for it to be set.
