Here my current script:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

Crane3()
{
	    Crane3 = getEnt("crane3", "targetname");
    	Crane3_trig = getEnt("crane3_trig", "targetname");
 
	while(true)
	{
hatchet_detect = spawn("script_model", self.origin);
hatchet_detect setmodel("viewmodel_bo2_hachet");
Crane3_trig waittill("trigger", hatchet_detect);
if(hatchet_detect isTouching(Crane3_trig))
{
iprintlnbold("ok");

    	        	        	    iprintlnbold("ok");
    	        	    }
    	        	    wait .5; // this wait is really important
    	    }
}

Thanks man!

Comment are very useful! but i just know when and why put wait?

script don't work : in game i see "ok" show up in looping but after modification i replaced:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

if(hatchet_detect isTouching(Crane3_trig))

by:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

if( IsDefined( hatchet_detect.HitTrigger ) )

And now trigger says in looping that trigger is not trigered (i have also add a

Code Snippet

Plaintext

else
{
iprintlnbold("not trigered")
}

) even when i launch my tomahawh in trig /:

If you simply replaced:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

if(hatchet_detect isTouching(Crane3_trig))

with

Code Snippet

Plaintext

if( IsDefined( hatchet_detect.HitTrigger ) )

That wont work.. Isdefined only checks if the ent or var exists and then returns true or false. I dont see you define hatchet_detect.HitTrigger anywhere, so it will just return false..

Also not sure what you're trying to do here, so cant really give any advice on how to do it

In my map i have included tomahawk and i want that when player launch them in the trigger he change his tomahawk for upgraded version like this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	players = getplayers();	
	for(i = 0; i < players.size; i++)
	{
	players[i] takeweapon("tomahawk");
	players[i] giveweapon("tomahawk_up");
	players[i] switchtoweapon("tomahawk_up");
	}

Code Snippet

Plaintext

cat(){
	noobs = get_players();
	for(i=0;i<noobs.size;i++)
	noobs[i] meow();
}
meow(){
for(;;)
{
	trig = getEnt("crane3_trig", "targetname");
	self waittill("grenade_fire", grenade, weapname);
	if ( weapname == "tomahawk" && grenade istouching(trig) )
	{
		grenade delete();
		self takeweapon("tomahawk");
		self giveweapon("tomahawk_up");
		self switchtoweapon("tomahawk_up");
	}
}
}

This only works if your tomahawk is a grenade, if not then you would have to use a diffrent method
