Here i have created a Power Generator Script. This will control the "off/on-state" for perks & lights(inc light models), as well as enabling/disbling perks trigs along with any other "powered machine" you wish to add to it. Its quite handy for maps that rely on lights & also for those who just want to add a little something extra to ur map to keep players busy then this'll do that too aha.
CREDITS: TheRevenantSkull - for helping me out with understanding "turning fx's on/off" on an earlier version of this. HitmanVere - for helping me out with understanding how to make a var a global one and for the general approach of the buy/deposit fuel func. "some dude on ugx" - who posted a topic about using a hud to display engine(player health). Ive since deleted that bookmark so i dont know his name but i am essentially using the same example he provided in his tut. & of course the "gang": JohnDoe Numan Dr. Dronken - for all their help along the way.
Link to the map_source file: https://mega.nz/file/Y9x0SbqA#zrVbnjfBBXLFMoFFsWfg_nXho4JLKM2VLFBdiFbGgak I've incuded the map_source file coz i have setup the lights kvps pretty well as seen in the video so if you wish to use them for ur map then open the map and copy the light & info-full. Or if you want to build off this template map then feel free to do so.
End result video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nlq44ORuwhs&ab_channel=PhilGibson NOTE: in this video ive set the "tank limit" to 15 seconds for testing purposes & to obv show you its on/off state w/out the video lasting for 30mins lol However: In the mod folder download ive set the "full tank limit" to 30 minutes with each fill up consisting of 5 minutes(6 fill ups for a full tank) with each fill up costing 500 points(3000 points for a full tank). Installation:
Code Snippet
Plaintext
in your mapname.gsc file
add- maps\_powered_stuff::init();
below- maps\_zombiemode::main();
and either comment out or delete this- level.DLC3.useElectricSwitch = true;
close mapname.gsc
//------------------
add- _powered_stuff.gsc file to root>mods>mapname>maps folder & _lights.csc file to root>mods>mapname>clientscripts folder
//------------------
add your "on-state" models to your mod.csv like so-
xmodel,lights_indlight_on xmodel,lights_berlin_subway_hat_100 these are the 2 "on"_models i used.
also add your "on-state" models to _zombiemode.gsc
search- precache_models()
heres how i have the 2 i used setup in that func- //on-state models precacheModel("lights_indlight_on"); //wall light model precacheModel("lights_berlin_subway_hat_100"); //ceiling light model
and it will bring you to the if/else part. it will look like this- if( isDefined( level.DLC3.useElectricSwitch ) && level.DLC3.useElectricSwitch ) { level thread power_electric_switch(); } else { level thread power_electric_switch_on(); }
either delete or comment out this if/else.
now... search- power_electric_switch()
& either delete or comment out the entire function.
close dlc3_code.gsc
//------------------
in _zombiemode_perks.gsc search- activate_PackAPunch()
and you will see this line- self setmodel("zombie_vending_packapunch_on");
comment that line out. for those who dont know you can "comment stuff out" by simply putting // before a line of code... like so-
//self setmodel("zombie_vending_packapunch_on"); <--- this line of code will now NOT get executed.
ok... moving on.
in these functions- turn_revive_on() turn_sleight_on() turn_jugger_on() turn_doubletap_on()
comment out the setModel line & thread perk_fx line
search- perk_fx( fx )
comment out the playfx line.
close _zombiemode_perks.gsc
//------------------
open radiant and either delete the power switch script_struct & replace it with a script_origin & give it this kvp- targetname power_switch_fx
or...
simply open the generator_map.map file and copy the power switch ive used.
//------------------
now compile the level and build the mod and you should be done. if you have any issues(maybe i forgot a step?) then message me on ugx discord- Phil81334
