I have the script for a loop already from one of jbird632's videos but how do i link that with an actual electric trap in the game?

yea i just want to use the prefab but i cant find any vids on how to make them work, it just gives me a message that says: "not available"

You need to include the scripts.

Open up your mapname.gsc and where it has the #using lines at the top, add this line under them all

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#using scripts\zm\_zm_trap_electric;

Underneath that paste these lines

Code Snippet

Plaintext

//Trap
#precache( "fx", "dlc0/factory/fx_elec_trap_factory" );
#precache( "fx", "maps/zombie/fx_zombie_light_glow_green" );
#precache( "fx", "maps/zombie/fx_zombie_light_glow_red" );
#precache( "fx", "fx_zombie_light_elec_room_on" );
#precache( "fx", "zombie/fx_elec_player_md_zmb" );
#precache( "fx", "zombie/fx_elec_player_sm_zmb" );
#precache( "fx", "zombie/fx_elec_player_torso_zmb" );
#precache( "fx", "electric/fx_elec_sparks_burst_sm_circuit_os" );
#precache( "fx", "electric/fx_elec_sparks_burst_sm_circuit_os" );
#precache( "fx", "zombie/fx_powerup_on_green_zmb" );

Now at the bottom put this function

Code Snippet

Plaintext

function precache_fx()
{
	level._effect["zapper"]				= "dlc0/factory/fx_elec_trap_factory";
	level._effect["zapper_light_ready"]		= "maps/zombie/fx_zombie_light_glow_green";
	level._effect["zapper_light_notready"]		= "maps/zombie/fx_zombie_light_glow_red";
	level._effect["elec_room_on"]			= "fx_zombie_light_elec_room_on";
	level._effect["elec_md"]			= "zombie/fx_elec_player_md_zmb";
	level._effect["elec_sm"]			= "zombie/fx_elec_player_sm_zmb";
	level._effect["elec_torso"]			= "zombie/fx_elec_player_torso_zmb";
}

and at the top in the main() function put this line

Code Snippet

Plaintext

precache_fx();

Do these exact same steps in your mapname.csc, except where it says

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#precache( "fx"

change it to

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#precache( "client_fx"

and then in launcher right click on your map, and click "Edit Zone File", and paste this at the bottom

Code Snippet

Plaintext

scriptparsetree,scripts/zm/_zm_trap_electric.gsc

Now the script should be included properly.
