Okay I got this weird problem with my map. Basically i tried making a script where the players will teleport after hitting a trigger and its only the player who hits the trigger not everyone. I edited the teleport script and changed it from players to self thinking it would work, because players i know will work on all the players, self only works on 1 player so figured it would work, but guess not cause this happens

Also has save and quit on the menu

here is my script, i already threaded it and got the triggers set up and thats all fine

Code Snippet

Plaintext

teleport()
{
teleport_struct = GetStruct("teleport_trap", "targetname"); 
self setorigin(teleport_struct.origin);
self setplayerangles(teleport_struct.angles);
self shellshock( "explosion", 4 );
self shellshock( "electrocution", 4 );
self playsound("whoosh");
wait 5;
teleport_trigger = getent("trap_teleport","targetname");
teleport_trigger enable_trigger();
}

How are you calling the script exactly? if you just call it as is it will teleporter the player regardless of anything else.

I call it on the trigger, here is the script of it

Code Snippet

Plaintext

 teleport_trigger = getent("trap_teleport","targetname");
	  teleport_trigger setCursorHint("HINT_NOICON");
	  teleport_trigger setHintString("Press &&1 to Teleport");
	  teleport_trigger waittill("trigger",player);
	  teleport_trigger disable_trigger();
	  thread teleport();

Self isn't defined then. You need to defined what player(s) are using the trig, and then call the teleport() functions with them.

in other words you need something like this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

players = get_players();
 teleport_trigger waittill("trigger",players);
players thread teleport();

Plaintext

player thread teleport();

Code Snippet

Plaintext

thread teleport();

In you original script change thread teleport(); to player thread teleport();

Before zombiemode::main, first had it set up as init() to start the script, and it was called in _zombiemode. changed it to main and now when i try to launch it up it has the compass which wasnt there before

Just as i had thought. By calling the script there its preventing other zombiemode scripts from init'ing. Making the game think your map is a SP map.

Place the functions in your mapname.gsc and call it with:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

level thread FUNCTION();

function is the name of the functions name of course.
