[TUTORIAL] Mortar Strike in Scripts

Just a fun script i came across a few days ago, have it laying around for ages but not going to use it myself prob so why not upload it?

Instructions included in the dl as well.

Add this to a .csv:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

// mortar strike
sound,mortar_strike,,,
weapon,sp/mortar_strike
material,hud_icon_m8_white_smoke
xmodel,projectile_us_smoke_grenade
xmodel,mortar_shell
fx,weapon/satchel/fx_explosion_satchel_generic
fx,blst_custom/streak_marker_smoke
fx,misc/fx_ui_airstrike_smk_green

Open _zombiemode, around line 60-70 you'll see similar line's. Add this one:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	maps\_blst_mortar_strike::init();

( this might be a bit different in your version of _weapons, so pay attention! )
open _zombiemode_weapons, and look for this line inside the treasure_chest_give_weapon() function:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	if( !( weapon_string == "fraggrenade" || weapon_string == "stielhandgranate" || weapon_string == "molotov" || weapon_string == "zombie_cymbal_monkey" ) )

Add this part to it:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	|| weapon_string == "mortar_strike"

So it looks like:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	if( !( weapon_string == "fraggrenade" || weapon_string == "stielhandgranate" || weapon_string == "molotov" || weapon_string == "zombie_cymbal_monkey" || weapon_string == "mortar_strike" ) )

Next a few lines down, you'll see this line:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	if( weapon_string != "fraggrenade" && weapon_string != "stielhandgranate" && weapon_string != "molotov" && weapon_string != "zombie_cymbal_monkey" )

This time we're going to add:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	&& weapon_string != "mortar_strike"

So in the end it looks like:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

			if( weapon_string != "fraggrenade" && weapon_string != "stielhandgranate" && weapon_string != "molotov" && weapon_string != "zombie_cymbal_monkey" && weapon_string != "mortar_strike" )

Next look for the function treasure_chest_give_weapon(), and in there look for these lines:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	self GiveWeapon( weapon_string, 0 );
	self GiveMaxAmmo( weapon_string );
	self SwitchToWeapon( weapon_string );

Right ABOVE those lines, paste in these new ones:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

	if( weapon_string == "mortar_strike" )
	{
		self thread maps\_blst_mortar_strike::player_give_mortar();
		play_weapon_vo("zombie_cymbal_monkey");
		return;
	}

Dont forget to add the weapon 'mortar_strike" to both dlc3_code and _zombiemode_weapons, like you would with any other weapon.

If you want to give the players a mortar strike in another way then through the box, use this line of code ( using 'give' in the console will not work!! ):

player thread maps\_blst_mortar_strike::player_give_mortar();
