Thread: Viewing Triggers and Spawns :: The Easy Way :: Would This Work?

First of all, this thread pertains to the last few I've posted in this forum. In order to make my life easier in attempting to bring the gain ground mod back to MOHAA, I'm thinking this is the easiest way to show both triggers and spawns. Here's my code:

Calling a spawn:

Code:

local.spawn = waitexec global/push_spawn.scr 4104.78 7775.73 -211.88 -90 axh axis

push_spawn.scr:

Code:

main local.x1 local.y1 local.z1 local.angle local.targName local.type:

    if(local.type == "allies"){
      local.allySpawn = spawn info_player_allied targetname local.targName
      local.allySpawn.origin = ( local.x1 local.y1 local.z1 )
      local.allySpawn.angle = local.angle
      
      // Debug --- Show the spawns
      if (int(getcvar(pushDebug)) == 1)
      {
        local.show1 = spawn script_model model models/player/allied_Airborne.tik origin ( local.allySpawn.origin ) angle ( local.allySpawn.angle ) 
      }
    }else if(local.type == "axis"){
      local.axisSpawn = spawn info_player_allied targetname local.targName
      local.axisSpawn.origin = ( local.x1 local.y1 local.z1 )
      local.axisSpawn.angle = local.angle
      
      // Debug --- Show the spawns
      if (int(getcvar(pushDebug)) == 1)
      {
        local.show1 = spawn script_model model models/player/german_Scientist.tik origin ( local.axisSpawn.origin ) angle ( local.axisSpawn.angle ) 
      }
    }
    
end

Setting a trigger:

Code:

local.sptrg = waitexec global/trigger.scr -3598.932 -3089.528 456.611 -3881.924 -3909.593 551.171 sptrgstart

Trigger.scr:

Code:

main local.x1 local.y1 local.z1 local.x2 local.y2 local.z2 local.trigName:

    local.x1 = float( local.x1 ) ; local.x2 = float( local.x2 )
    local.y1 = float( local.y1 ) ; local.y2 = float( local.y2 )
    local.z1 = float( local.z1 ) ; local.z2 = float( local.z2 )

    // Make sure coords are in right order // Taken from MAM
    if ( local.x1 > local.x2 )
    {
        local.x = local.x1 ; local.x1 = local.x2 ; local.x2 = local.x
    }
    if ( local.y1 > local.y2 )
    {
        local.y = local.y1 ; local.y1 = local.y2 ; local.y2 = local.y
    }
    if ( local.z1 > local.z2 )
    {
        local.z = local.z1 ; local.z1 = local.z2 ; local.z2 = local.z
    }

    local.trigObj = spawn trigger_multiple
    local.trigObj.origin = ( local.x1 local.y1 local.z1 )
    local.trigObj setsize ( 0 0 0 ) ( ( local.x2 local.y2 local.z2 ) - ( local.x1 local.y1 local.z1 ) )
    local.trigObj targetname local.trigName
    
    // Debug --- Show the triggers
    if (int(getcvar(pushDebug)) == 1)
    {
      exec global/showbox.scr::setsize local.trigObj.origin ( 0 0 0 )( ( local.x2 local.y2 local.z2 ) - ( local.x1 local.y1 local.z1 ) )
    }
    
    
end

Setting the CVAR to view the triggers and spawns (in server.cfg or the actual map files itself):

Code:

set pushDebug 1

Do you think this setup would work?

Redid all my spawns, and now the script is messed up for some reason. I create my targetnames in the push_spawn.scr class. Can the main map script maps/m2l1.scr access these spawns by target names? It seems it does not? Should I make my script level.allySpawn?

For example, should this code in push_spawn.scr:

Code:

local.axisSpawn = spawn info_player_allied targetname local.targName

Actually be:

Code:

level.axisSpawn = spawn info_player_allied targetname local.targName

Then, would the m2l1.scr be able to access the targetnames set for those spawns?
