Level start VOX when players see the first zombie (Level: Easy) in Scripting

Created on: October 24, 2022, 05:54:17 am

Add:

Code Snippet

cpp

    level thread level_start_vox();

in your nazi_zombie_mapname.gsc main() function

Then paste this in at the bottom:

Code Snippet

cpp

level_start_vox()
{
    wait( 5 );
    
    players = get_players(); 

    for( i = 0; i < players.size; i++ )
    {
        players[i].has_talked = 0;
        
        for(;;)
        {
            zombies = getaiarray("axis" );
            close_zombies = get_array_of_closest( players[i].origin, zombies, undefined, undefined, 600 );
            
            for( j = 0; j < zombies.size; j++ )
            {
                if ( (players[i] IsLookingAt(zombies[j]) || close_zombies.size > 0 || players[i].score_total > 500) && players[i].has_talked == 0 )
                {
                    players[i].has_talked = 1;
                    index = maps\_zombiemode_weapons::get_player_index( players[i] );
                    plr = "plr_" + index + "_";
                    players[i] thread create_and_play_dialog( plr, "vox_level_start", 0.25 );
                    break;
                }
                else
                {
                    wait(0.1);
                    continue;
                }
            }
            if(players[i].has_talked == 1)
            {
                break;
            }
            wait(0.05);
        }
    }
}

- You can easily change the cooldown at the start, I put it at 5 seconds so the intro sounds start to finish before the player can talk

- This code also has 2 fallbacks in case IsLookingAt doesn't activate, even if you look at a zombie (it happens). First it checks if there is a close proximity zomb, and then it also checks if you have gained score (damaged a zombie), either way, it will force the dialogue so it feels natural when you see a zombie

- I think the classic Der Riese "we need to turn the power on" is getting a bit old eh? There's lots of cool un-used VOX that could work here, like the characters saying "Here they come" or "incoming" etc.

level_start_vox()
{

                {
                    players[i].has_talked = 1;
                    index = maps\_zombiemode_weapons::get_player_index( players[i] );
                    plr = "plr_" + index + "_";
                    players[i] thread create_and_play_dialog( plr, "vox_level_start", 0.25 );
                    break;
                }
                else
                {
                    wait(0.1);
                    continue;
                }
            }
            if(players[i].has_talked == 1)
            {
                break;
            }
            wait(0.05);
        }
    }
}

at the bottom of the .gsc it gave me an error saying "level_start_vox" is already defined in dlc3_code

and yeah it was i checked on it, then i removed the "level_start_vox" from main()

still same error

then i removed it from your code i put at the bottom

i got bad syntax error lmfao

unless i didnt understand what u mean or ur wrong with the code, i hope u reach out to fix it or fix my mistake

anyways danke

- You said you wrote "level thread level_Start_vox" that is incorrect, it should be "level thread level_start_vox();"
- You are on a custom map with script placer, dlc3_code contains some of your "mapname" gsc stuff so you can just follow my tutorial on this file only
- Since the default dlc3 code already threads a function called "level_start_vox", all you really have to do is leave everything unchanged except scroll down to where the level_start_function() is from your dlc3code and replace it with mine, that is literally it, I'm not wrong with the code it's what I use on my nacht der untoten custom mod so it will work for you

Good luck
