The script works but after testing it on multiplayer it gives the shield to only 1 player and not all players. Is theirs a way to script it to all players or all 4?

holly fuck i was baked when I wrote that

Replace this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

player zm_equipment::give(equipment);

With this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

players = GetPlayers();

for(i=0; i < players.size; i++)
{
    players[i] zm_equipment::give(equipment);
}

Thanks man but im currently having a glitch where sometimes the script bugs out and does not fully work and you only have to shoot 1 trigger and it gives you the Easter egg complete status. This is my code

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#using scripts\zm\_zm_weapons;
#using scripts\zm\_zm_weap_riotshield;
#using scripts\zm\_zm_equipment;

#using scripts\zm\craftables\_zm_craft_shield;

function init()
{
	level.shootablesNeeded = 3;
	level.shootablesCollected = 0;

	level thread shootable_1();
	level thread shootable_2();
	level thread shootable_3();
}

function shootable_1()
{
    trig_1 = GetEnt("shootable_trig", "targetname");
	model_1 = GetEnt("shootable_model", "targetname");

	trig_1 SetHintString("");
	trig_1 SetCursorHint("HINT_NOICON");

	while(1)
	{
		trig_1 waittill("trigger", player);

		level.shootablesCollected++;

		//IPrintLn("Trigger 1 Shot"); // Not Needed

		thread shootables_done(player);

		break;
	}

	trig_1 Delete();
	model_1 Delete();

{
	trig_2 = GetEnt("shootable_trig_2", "targetname");

}
		}

	}
}

I've noticed that when you done shooting all of the triggers only the first player gets the rewards and other three players don't. Is there a fix for this?

This is the fully code if you want to get "Electric Cherry"

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#using scripts\zm\_zm_perks;

	level.shootablesNeeded = 3;

	level thread shootable_1();
	level thread shootable_2();
	level thread shootable_3();
}

function shootable_1()
{
    trig_1 = GetEnt("shootable_trig", "targetname");
	model_1 = GetEnt("shootable_model", "targetname");

	trig_1 SetHintString("");
	trig_1 SetCursorHint("HINT_NOICON");

	while(1)
	{
		trig_1 waittill("trigger", player);

		level.shootablesCollected++;

		IPrintLn("Trigger 1 Shot"); // Not Needed

		thread shootables_done(player);

		break;
	}

	trig_1 Delete();
	model_1 Delete();
}

function shootable_2()
{
	trig_2 = GetEnt("shootable_trig_2", "targetname");
	model_2 = GetEnt("shootable_model_2", "targetname");

	trig_2 SetHintString("");
	trig_2 SetCursorHint("HINT_NOICON");

}

function shootable_3()

	model_3 = GetEnt("shootable_model_3", "targetname");

	trig_3 SetHintString("");

	while(1)

		level.shootablesCollected++;

		IPrintLn("Trigger 3 Shot"); // Not Needed

		thread shootables_done(player);

		break;
	}

	trig_3 Delete();
	model_3 Delete();
}

function shootables_done(player)
{
	while(1)
	{
		self waittill(level.shootablesCollected >= level.shootablesNeeded);

		if(level.shootablesCollected == level.shootablesNeeded)
		{
			// What ever code you want to execute once all shootables are collected
			IPrintLn("All Shootables Collected");
			player zm_perks::give_perk( PERK_ELECTRIC_CHERRY, false );
		}

		break;
	}
}

Tested and it works fine

This is for 3 triggers

Using the exact same code (other than different print messages), I'm getting the following error when linking in launcher:

^1�
^1^
^1ERR(0) scripts/custom/shootable.gsc (16,1) in "shootable_1()" : Bad Token '�' : ^1�

I think this should work.

How do I make it so only a certain gun activates the shootable trigger and others don't? It would help me out a lot thanks!

Reply #52 on: October 18, 2016, 05:05:10 pm

how would I go about to change this to the PowerUp free perk

Add this to the top of the script:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#using scripts/zm/_zm_powerups;

Then add this to the shootable_done function:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

level thread zm_powerups::specific_powerup_drop("powerupname", origin);

Just replace "powerupname" with the code name of the powerup.

Avaliable Powerups:

Spoiler: click to open...

bonfire_sale
carpenter
double_points
fire_sale
free_perk
full_ammo
insta_kill
shield_charge
weapon_minigun
ww_grenade

Then make origin the origin you want the powerup to spawn at.
Example:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

test = GetEnt("test", "targetname");

level thread zm_powerups::specific_powerup_drop("full_ammo", test.origin); // This will spawn a max ammo at the origin of the test entity.

Thanks a lot, should be able to add in a easter egg into my map now

Reply #55 on: October 18, 2016, 10:50:35 pm

im having a glitch with my script where you don't need to shoot all 3 objects to get the easter egg complete. Sometimes its only 1 or 2 triggers you only need to shoot.

This shouldn't be possible since it checks twice if they are all activated, anyways try this.

Replace:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

function shootables_done()
{
	while(1)
	{
                self waittill(level.shootablesCollected >= level.shootablesNeeded);

		if(level.shootablesCollected == level.shootablesNeeded)
		{
			// What ever code you want to execute once all shootables are collected
			IPrintLn("All Shootables Collected");
		}

                break;
	}
}

with:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

function shootables_done()
{
	self waittill(level.shootablesCollected >= level.shootablesNeeded);

	while(1)
	{

			// What ever code you want to execute once all shootables are collected

Trying to get audio to play when a trigger has been shot tried everything. Sorta like the EE from The Giant.

Just as the error says, you didn't initialize the variable player.

There are 2 ways you can do this depending on who you want to give the perk to.

All Players:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

function shootables_done()
{
	self waittill(level.shootablesCollected >= level.shootablesNeeded);

	while(1)
	{
		if(level.shootablesCollected == level.shootablesNeeded)
		{
			players = GetPlayers();

			// What ever code you want to execute once all shootables are collected
			IPrintLn("Here is your reward!");

			for(i=0; i < players.size; i++)
			{
				players[i] zm_perks::give_perk( PERK_ELECTRIC_CHERRY, false );
			}

            break;
		}
	}
}

Only the players that shot a shootable:
First, go into each of the shootable functions and change them to this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

function shootable_1()
{
    trig_1 = GetEnt("shootable_trig", "targetname");
	model_1 = GetEnt("shootable_model", "targetname");

	trig_1 SetHintString("");
	trig_1 SetCursorHint("HINT_NOICON");

	while(1)
	{
		trig_1 waittill("trigger", player);

		level.shootablesCollected++;

		IPrintLn("Trigger 1 Shot"); // Not Needed

		thread shootables_done(player);

		break;
	}

	trig_1 Delete();
	model_1 Delete();
}

function shootable_2()
{
    trig_2 = GetEnt("shootable_trig_2", "targetname");
	model_2 = GetEnt("shootable_model_2", "targetname");

	trig_2 SetHintString("");
	trig_2 SetCursorHint("HINT_NOICON");

	while(1)
	{
		trig_2 waittill("trigger", player);

		level.shootablesCollected++;

		IPrintLn("Trigger 2 Shot"); // Not Needed

		thread shootables_done(player);

		break;
	}

	trig_2 Delete();
	model_2 Delete();
}

then change the shootables_done function to this:
