Random Box Respawn Issue in Scripting

Created on: October 15, 2015, 01:16:55 pm

Hey All. I have been messing with a custom mystery box and have basically bee trying to figure out what all the bits do. I have been using sniper bolts tutorial prefab version and I basically copied that and mad modifications to it. I have only made the start chest and chest1 so far but Im quite sure I have all the kvps correct and in place replacing all the 0's with 1's for chest1 and so on. The first chest works perfectly and looks good doing what it should but when it comes to re spawning, it keeps coming back to the same place. What causes this and how do I stop it?

Cheers guys!

level.DLC3.useChestMoves in your mapname gsc, set to true, will allow the box to move according to weapons gsc function treasure_chest_move. The var level.chests in your weapons gsc treasure_chest_init function, which also handles the randomization of the initial box if you selected it to, gets all the boxes in your map. treasure_chest_move increments your box locations. If it keeps coming back to the same spot, I would check the level.chests array size to see if it is 1.

Adjusting the following in weapons gsc at the treasure_chest_init function could help determine what the issue is.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

testbox(){// I added this function
	flag_wait( "all_players_connected" );
	wait(3);
	if(IsDefined( level.chests )) IPrintLnBold( level.chests.size, " box(es) are in this array" );
	else IPrintLnBold( "level.chests isn't defined" );
}
// for the random weapon chest
treasure_chest_init()
{
	flag_init("moving_chest_enabled");
	flag_init("moving_chest_now");

	level.chests = GetEntArray( "treasure_chest_use", "targetname" );
	thread testbox();// I added this line

If Make Cents way is not the fix try opening zombiemode_spawner search for these lines

Code Snippet

Plaintext

if(level.script == "nazi_zombie_asylum" || level.script == "nazi_zombie_sumpf" || level.script == "nazi_zombie_factory" || level.script == "nazi_zombie_paris" || level.script == "nazi_zombie_coast" || level.script == "nazi_zombie_theater" || level.script == "nazi_zombie_YOURMAPNAME")

Adding your map at the end on all of these lines fixed this problem for me . Make sure to edit in your mods folder not in raw.

you would need to change this everytime you make a map? Just comment the whole line or use "isSubString( "nazi_zombie_" );"
