I made a script to turn on jug by using a turret for 10 seconds (not necessarily consecutive). There are no syntax errors, however, jug turns on within 10 seconds of my spawning in, regardless of whether I am using the turret or not. Here is my script:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

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

main()
{
	players = get_players();
	player = players[0];
	activator = 0;
	while(activator < 200)
	{
		firing = player IsFiring();
		if(player HasWeapon("30cal_bipod_stand") && (firing == "true"))
		{
			wait(0.05);
			activator = activator + 1;
		}
	}
	level notify("juggernog_on");
}

Thanks in advance! (Also, another thing is that this will only work for player 1 right now (solo). This is just for testing and not a concern as of now).

that because

Code Snippet

Plaintext

level notify("juggernog_on");

should be inside the if statement lol
nevermind saw what you did, just add another if statement below the one you have like this

Code Snippet

Plaintext

if(activator == 200)
level notify("juggernog_on");

Are you sure about this? I want the variable activator to go up while I am firing, and then have juggernog turn on when activator = 200 (10 seconds), so I put the level notify outside the while loop so that once it breaks (activator is greater than or equal to 200) then juggernog will turn on.

i edited my post above
and i think your while loop would be better like this xD just to be sure

Code Snippet

Plaintext

while(activator < 201)

to break the code inside cause once jugg is on it would be useless to keep running that loop
also when a while loop ends the code inside it stops runing but it doesnt mean that the code will wait the while loop to stop to continue reading the rest of the code thats why your jugg always was on even if you didnt grabed the turret

He said that he wanted the code to init while he was fireing, so...

Code Snippet

Plaintext

if(activator == 200 && player isfiring() )
level notify("juggernog_on");

unless thats not what he meant.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

if(player HasWeapon("30cal_bipod_stand") && (firing == "true"))

replace

Code Snippet

Plaintext

(firing == "true")

with

Code Snippet

Plaintext

(player IsFiring() == true)

this error short circuited the if statement to true, causing it to count from the loading up of the map

To jj:

Unfortunately, it still doesn't work, which means that the problem stems from the variable activator increasing when it is not supposed to. Thanks for your advice, though!

To daedra:

What I meant is that the variable activator will be increasing while firing the turret by waiting 0.05 seconds and then adding one to activator. Once activator is equal to or greater than 200, the while loop will break as its condition is no longer met, and the script will proceed to the next line, which turns on jug.

Yeah, I think that's it. I'll test it out now. Thanks!

if you have an undefined variable firing, the if statement will always be true

daedra you drunk xD that was an additional if statement to make the notify not to check if player was firing

Reply #10 on: April 15, 2014, 07:19:45 pm

jei, I took out the firing variable and replaced the if statement's code with what you posted. Unfortunately, it still doesn't work.

how are you calling this script?

Reply #13 on: April 15, 2014, 07:25:59 pm

i think this script should be set as the thndergun one in zombiemode.gsc

Reply #14 on: April 15, 2014, 07:26:37 pm

To answer both you guys' questions: this is the most up-to-date version of the code:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

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

main()
{
	players = get_players();
	player = players[0];
	activator = 0;
	while(activator < 200)
	{
		if(player HasWeapon("30cal_bipod_stand") && (player IsFiring() == true))
		{
			wait(0.05);
			activator = activator + 1;
		}
	}
	level notify("juggernog_on");
}

and this is how it is being called in my mapname.gsc:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	 FUNCTION CALLS - PRE _Load
	----------------------*/
	level thread DLC3_threadCalls();
	level thread maps\_pump::main();
