Script Help ;) in Scripting

Created on: March 14, 2015, 06:13:53 pm

Hey, I'm trying to make something like the wunderfizz but I keep getting the error "script compile error: bad token '.'" Any help? Thx

I created a new gsc (_gerard_wunderfizz.gsc) and put this code in.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

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

init()
{
	trigger_wait( "wunderfizz_trigger","targetname" );
	thread letrigger_func();
 
 
	letrigger_func()
	{
		cost = 1500;
		while(true)
		{
			self waittill("trigger", player);
			if(player.score < cost)
			return;
 
			player.score -= cost;
			player thread maps\_zombiemode_powerups::zombie_perk_powerup();
		}
	}
}

then in _zombiemode.gsc

Code Snippet

Plaintext

maps\_gerard_wunderfizz

then in _zombiemode_powerups I added DUKIP's Random Perk Powerup function to work with the wunderfizz, I added it at the bottom of _zombiemode_powerups.gsc:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

zombie_perk_powerup()
{
	self endon("disconnect");

	player = self;
	perk = getRandomPerk(player);
	//DUKIP - Make sure player doesn't have the perk and perk is defined.
	if(player HasPerk(perk) || !IsDefined(perk))
	{
		//DUKIP - 50/50 chance of playing the sound.
		if(cointoss())
			player PlayLocalSound("sam_nospawn");
		return;
	}

	//DUKIP - Moved this var to above the perk bottle give as there was a chance of getting "dual" perks.
	player.is_drinking = 1;

	// do the drink animation
	gun = player maps\_zombiemode_perks::perk_give_bottle_begin( perk );

	player waittill_any( "fake_death", "death", "player_downed", "weapon_change_complete" );

	// restore player controls and movement
	player maps\_zombiemode_perks::perk_give_bottle_end( gun, perk );
	player.is_drinking = undefined;
	// TODO: race condition?
	if ( player maps\_laststand::player_is_in_laststand() )
		return;

	player SetPerk( perk );
	player thread maps\_zombiemode_perks::perk_vo(perk);
	player setblur( 4, 0.1 );
	wait(0.1);
	player setblur(0, 0.1);

	if(perk == "specialty_armorvest")
	{
		player.maxhealth = level.zombie_vars["zombie_perk_juggernaut_health"];
		player.health = level.zombie_vars["zombie_perk_juggernaut_health"];
	}

	player maps\_zombiemode_perks::perk_hud_create( perk );

	//stat tracking
	player.stats["perks"]++;

	bbPrint( "zombie_uses: playername %s playerscore %d round %d cost %d name %s x %f y %f z %f type perk",
		player.playername, player.score, level.round_number, 0, perk, self.origin );

	player thread maps\_zombiemode_perks::perk_think( perk );
}

getRandomPerk(player)
{
	//DUKIP - Make sure we're not drinking anything already.
	if(IsSubStr(player getCurrentWeapon(), "bottle") || (IsDefined(player.is_drinking) && player.is_drinking))
		return;

	all_perks = [];
	all_perks[0] = "specialty_armorvest";
	all_perks[1] = "specialty_quickrevive";
	all_perks[2] = "specialty_fastreload";
	all_perks[3] = "specialty_rof";
	//all_perks[NUM] = "specialty_XXXX";

	all_perks = array_randomize(all_perks);

	thePerk = random(all_perks);

	return thePerk;
}

You know you have a function inside of a function?

If you havent already, you need to put ::init after this in zombiemode so it can start the script, it will need to be

Code Snippet

Plaintext

maps\_gerard_wunderfizz::init();

That may explain why it wont work

yea, currently your calling the script, but not directing what to do with it after that

your main function is called init(), so you need to call it

no its not dude... its 90% other peoples work

Will you stop trying to claim credit for stuff you havent done? All you did was assemble this as per instructions from the ACTUAL scripters

Ive been ignoring til now, but dude, please stop. Just say this is a script by "XXX", and this is how to use it...

I added that and didn't work, like zombiemode wouldn't start until I hit the trigger and then I would start with 0 points... I know I'm doing something wrong and I've been working on scripts this whole day and just don't understand...

there are not really specific tutorials out there

I never learned GSC scripting, it just happens to be near identical to Javascript or C++ which I am already familiar with. Id suggest just reading up on basic usage and syntax

There are some short tutorials around on this site, otherwise take a look at Treyarchs GSCs, if you read through them, before long youll start to work out what is doing what

First thing you should look at of Treyarchs is _zombiemode_perks.gsc. Its pretty basic and has most of what you want in there already.

Huh... You Confuse me... The only script that Was DUKIP's was the zombie_perk_powerup and I gave credit...
I deleted it because it didn't work after testing

Yes I gave credit for zombie_perk_powerup() script and the other one on http://ugx-mods.com/forum/index.php?topic=5962.msg65446#msg65446 I wasn't referring to that script because that one doesn't work (probably because I don't understand it) and I was referring to the one I posted and deleted because it didn't work
