Thread: trigger sizes

ok how big can you make a trigger?
local.trig setsize ( -60 -60 -60 ) ( 60 60 60 ) //adapt the size
would 1 big trigger be better than a bunch of small 1's?

ok made this but it don't matter where I am on map it takes the weapons...lol

Code:

main:   

		level.corona = spawn script_model
		level.corona model "lights/lightbulb_caged_red-lit.tik"
		level.corona.origin = ( -1392 335 -416 )
		level.corona.angles = ( 0 -90 0 )
		level.corona light 1 0 0 100
		level.corona notsolid
		level.corona scale 1.0
wait 90

thread take

take:

local.trig3 = spawn trigger_multiple
local.trig3.origin = ( -1392 335 -416 ) //here the origin
local.trig3 setsize ( -10 -10 -10 ) ( 10 10 10 ) //adapt the size
local.trig3 setthread taken
                                                                                
taken:

local.player = parm.other

if (local.player.dmteam == "allies") 

{

local.player take models/weapons/springfield.tik
local.player take models/weapons/kar98.tik
local.player take models/weapons/kar98sniper.tik
local.player take models/weapons/m2frag_grenade.tik
local.player take models/weapons/steilhandgranate.tik

}
                     
end

Did the same thing for axis and it works fine.

Im not too sure but its a good habit to add ends to the threads aswell , makes it nice and neat

Code:

main:   

        level.corona = spawn script_model
        level.corona model "lights/lightbulb_caged_red-lit.tik"
        level.corona.origin = ( -1392 335 -416 )
        level.corona.angles = ( 0 -90 0 )
        level.corona light 1 0 0 100
        level.corona notsolid
        level.corona scale 1.0
wait 90

thread take

end

take:

local.trig3 = spawn trigger_multiple
local.trig3.origin = ( -1392 335 -416 ) //here the origin
local.trig3 setsize ( -10 -10 -10 ) ( 10 10 10 ) //adapt the size
local.trig3 setthread taken

end
                                                                                
taken:

local.player = parm.other

if (local.player.dmteam == "allies") 

{

local.player take models/weapons/springfield.tik
local.player take models/weapons/kar98.tik
local.player take models/weapons/kar98sniper.tik
local.player take models/weapons/m2frag_grenade.tik
local.player take models/weapons/steilhandgranate.tik

}
                     
end

cool that worked, wonder why the axis team didn't do that? I changed both scr's anyway.

Yeah tell that to my wife

Ok got it all working I just added it to map script. Next is to make it on or off in console I need to check for the map and the cvar for script. set punish 1/0
so I did this 1st

Code:

level.punish = getcvar "punish"
    if(level.punish == "1")
{

       thread spawn
}

end

it works but this way it will always be on or off no matter what map is running? so I thought this might work going by the if...else ...  statement  from the message post...lol

level.map = getcvar "obj_team2"

if(level.obj_team2 == "0")
{

end     

}

else
 
level.punish = getcvar "punish"  // or exec global punish.scr here maybe instead of checking cvar
    if(level.punish == "1")
{

       thread spawn
}

end

I'm not sure how to check for more than 1 cvar. it works that way on V2 but how do you see if it running on another map...lol I want to make it a pk3 so people don't know how won't have to mess with map scr.

well have a big problem....after the allies trigger activate they never turn off...lol

Not sure what you are doing there but the cvar 'obj_team2' does not exist as far as I know. Even if it did, you're saving its value in the variable
'level.map' but you check the variable 'level.obj_team2' instead (which also does not exist). If you want to know the name of the current map
use the 'mapname' cvar and check for value 'obj/obj_team2'.

Code:

if (getcvar("mapname") == "obj/obj_team2") { // do something }

If you're checking more than one value, it's probably better to use a switch statement:

Code:

switch(getcvar("mapname"))
{
   case "obj/obj_team2":
      // do something
      break; // break out of switch, otherwise the cases below will be executed as well.
   case "dm/mohdm1":
     // do something
     break;
    default: // is optional and handles all remaining cases
     // do something 
     break;
}

ok thanks Sor the 1st code will work fine. I have a script I want to exec from mike torso but I only want to run on that map. I just didn't obj_team2 didn't exist...lol.

Code:

	if (getcvar("mapname") == "obj/obj_team2") 
	{ 
	thread punish // do something 
	} 
	end
	
	punish:
	
level.punish = getcvar "punish"

    if(level.punish == "1")

      {
	  thread axis
     }
	  end

is what I need to do. Now can you exec a scr from the do something place?

if(level.punish == "1")

{
exec global/my.scr
}
