Phd Flopper in Scripting

Created on: December 10, 2016, 01:16:22 am

So I seen a map floating around with phd, it was legacy city I think. Well any way I want to add phd to my map, I have the model and shader done but for the life of me I cant not take explosive damage. I could care less about the exploding flop unless we could incorporate sliding into it. So if some one could provide the script or point me in the right direction for a noob at scripting that would be great!

Could be wrong I've never tried it but I know that's the way I did it in BO2 GSC

self SetPerk("specialty_detectexplosive"); //specialty_detectexplosive -> phd

I personally don't think this would work because of the changes from bo2 to bo3 but I may be wrong...

This is my current code which was shown to me but when I get flopper than take any form of damage it tells me connection interrupted even in local solo...

function checkCustomPerk()
{
level.overridePlayerDamage = &player_damage_override;
}

function player_damage_override( sMeansOfDeath )
{
	if ( sMeansOfDeath == "MOD_PROJECTILE" || sMeansOfDeath == "MOD_PROJECTILE_SPLASH" || sMeansOfDeath == "MOD_GRENADE" || sMeansOfDeath == "MOD_GRENADE_SPLASH" || sMeansOfDeath == "MOD_EXPLOSIVE" )
		{
			if( self hasperk("specialty_phd" ) )
			{
			finalDamage = 0;
			return;
			}	
		}
}

If a mod could put this in the code format for me that would be great... The button doesn't do any thing when I click it...

"specialty_phd" is not a perk recognised by the bo3 engine. Use what the previous guy said of "specialty_detectexplosive" as the game will recognise it

I used the custom perk tutorial and I thought this is what you would do, natesmith the guy who scripted bananas colada told me this is what it would look like... I guess I could try it though...

EDIT
I'm still getting the same error as before when I take explosive damage... Connection interrupted...

EDIT 2
If I replace the whole thing from the script from the first reply I don't get connection interrupted but I do take explosive damage...

This is my perk script for phd, it prevents explosive damage since thats all I really cared to do for now. The shader doesnt show but have not focused on fixing that however you can spawn a hud elem for now or try to figure it out. In the gsh file you can change the perk machine model and the cost if you want to edit either of those as well. However just download the file and then open it and place the files in the rar file in BO3 Root/usermaps/mapname/scripts/pro_custom you will have to create the pro_custom folder. Then open mapname.gsc and mapname.csc and put this line somewhere at the top

#using scripts\zm\pro_custom\_zm_perk_divetonuke;

then open mapname.zone and add

scriptparsetree,scripts/zm/pro_custom/_zm_perk_divetonuke.gsh
scriptparsetree,scripts/zm/pro_custom/_zm_perk_divetonuke.gsc
scriptparsetree,scripts/zm/pro_custom/_zm_perk_divetonuke.csc

Thanks this is what I was looking for, hopefully I can learn what I was doing wrong with this (:

Yeah it was my map "Legacy City"

I am using this code to display the shader and disable the shader:

 function give_phd_perk()
{
    if(!self HasPerk(PERK_PHDFLOPPER))
            return undefined;
    
    num = self GetEntityNumber();

    self.hud_phd = NewHudElem();
    self.hud_phd.alignX = "left";
    self.hud_phd.alignY = "bottom";
    self.hud_phd.horzAlign = "left";
    self.hud_phd.vertAlign = "bottom";
    self.hud_phd.foreground = true;
    self.hud_phd.sort = 1;
    self.hud_phd.hidewheninmenu = true;

    x = 86; //how far from the left of the game it should be
    y = -44;//the y value - is up + is down

    y += (-30 * num); //you probably won't need this

    self.hud_phd.x = x; // 2
    self.hud_phd.y = y; // -90

    self.hud_phd.alpha = 1;
    self.hud_phd SetShader(PHD_SHADER, PHD_SHADER_WIDTH, PHD_SHADER_HEIGHT);
    //iprintln ("Hud Enabled");
} 

function take_phd_perk( b_pause, str_perk, str_result )
{
	self clientfield::set_to_player( "phd_perk", 0);
	self.hud_phd Destroy();
	//iprintln ("Hud Destroyed");
	self.hud_phd = undefined;
	self waittill("death");
 

}

Credit me if your using this :3

I keep getting this error once I have everything set up, I tried tinkering with it but i couldn't find why it wasn't initialized but its probably pretty obvious and I am bad at it

^1ERR(6E) scripts/zm/pro_custom/_zm_perk_divetonuke.gsc (49,1) : Compiler Internal Error : Uninitialized local variable 'perk_phdflopper'

oops sorry bout that i fixed it and i dont know how to delete my post sooooo. Anyways I don't know how to get the script to go with my phd model, I have the script_struct and the model its using with the target name as zm_perk_machine and everything else fine. But when I go in game the model resets to speed cola even though i changed the gsh file to match the correct model, and finally when I try to buy the perk it says power must be turned on even when power is on, I can buy other perks but not that. thanks

Meant to get to this earlier but got distracted with other things but if you havent got it working just download this prefab

[You are not allowed to view external links. Register or Login to see them]

and for changing the model make sure these two get changed

#define DIVETONUKE_MACHINE_DISABLED_MODEL		"p6_zm_al_vending_nuke"
#define DIVETONUKE_MACHINE_ACTIVE_MODEL			"p6_zm_al_vending_nuke_on"

If this doesnt work then idk but same prefab I use and works for me but if there is anything else just let me know

Thanks man, will try this, I've tweaked those divetonuke machines already but i guess my struct was setup wrong

This is great, thanks! Any idea on how I can get the perk shader to show?
