I have a trigger_multiple that i want to act as a message that can be triggered over and over again, but the script i have isn't working right. if anyone can help it would be great! Code Snippet Plaintext Copy area_text() { trigger = getent("area_trigger","targetname"); //Trigger Multiple trigger SetCursorHint("HINT_NOICON"); trigger SetHintString("Use me"); trigger waittill("trigger"); IPrintLn("Message message message message");

Simple problem in Scripting

area_text() { trigger = getent("area_trigger","targetname"); //Trigger Multiple trigger SetCursorHint("HINT_NOICON"); trigger SetHintString("Use me"); trigger waittill("trigger"); IPrintLn("Message message message message");

area_text() { self endon("disconnect"); self endon("death"); trigger = getent("area_trigger","targetname"); trigger SetCursorHint("HINT_NOICON"); trigger SetHintString("Use me"); for(;;) { trigger waittill("trigger"); IPrintLn("Message message message message"); wait .1; } }

You can simply do this to make it show to only one player:
Code Snippet
Plaintext
	user = undefined;

	for(;;)
	{
		trigger waittill("trigger", user);
		  
		user IPrintLn("Message message message message");
		wait .1;
	}
You can also do that with a trigger_multiple

swear ive tried that before and it doesnt work? Maybe just iprintLnBold doesnt

anyway as for the OPs questions regarding only making it show up once until the player walks away

you can do this by threading another function on the player that touched it, set a variable on that player and use that variable on the "trigger" function, if it is defined and is true, then they already saw the print

then in the function we threaded on the player, check constantly if hes still touching that trigger, when he no longer is, unset that variable again

bo3 ( i know your asking for waw ) actually already has a trigger utility script that has support for this, maybe you can just modify that back to waw, ill pop that support below anyway

Code Snippet

Plaintext

//trigger_thread
function function_thread(ent, on_enter_payload, on_exit_payload)
{
	ent endon("entityshutdown");
 
	if(ent ent_already_in(self))
		return;
 
	add_to_ent(ent, self);

//	iprintlnbold("Trigger " + self.targetname + " hit by ent " + ent getentitynumber());
 
	if(isdefined(on_enter_payload))
	{
		[[on_enter_payload]](ent);
	}
 
	while(isdefined(ent) && ent istouching(self))
	{
		wait(0.01);
	}

//	iprintlnbold(ent getentitynumber() + " leaves trigger " + self.targetname + ".");

	if(isdefined(ent) && isdefined(on_exit_payload))
	{
		[[on_exit_payload]](ent);
	}

	if(isdefined(ent))
	{
		remove_from_ent(ent, self);
	}
}

uses other functions from that script, some of which you can prob just change or cut completely :

Code Snippet

Plaintext

function ent_already_in(trig)
{
	if(!isdefined(self._triggers))
		return false;
 
	if(!isdefined(self._triggers[trig getentitynumber()]))
		return false;
 
	if(!self._triggers[trig getentitynumber()])
		return false;
 
	return true;	// We're already in this trigger volume.
}

function add_to_ent(ent, trig)
{
	if(!isdefined(ent._triggers))
	{
		ent._triggers = [];
	}
 
	ent._triggers[trig getentitynumber()] = 1;
}

function remove_from_ent(ent, trig)
{
	if(!isdefined(ent._triggers))
		return;
 
	if(!isdefined(ent._triggers[trig getentitynumber()]))
		return;
 
	ent._triggers[trig getentitynumber()] = 0;
}

again ^ this would need - thats NEED - to be modified to work in waw

i posted some custom trigger script for waw ages ago that supports this already if you can find it. I believe makecents also did something similar, id imagine his also supports this
