Converted to memory :P I did not know of this function since I do not map for CoD4. I have found there are more useful functions avaliable than there were CoD2. Thanks for the find BraX!... [more]

Grenades
Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 Scripting
Samuel, I am sorry to say this, but I do believe all of the gernade code is handled through the engine itself. I have never seen anything in script about grenades before (other than giving them in loadouts and stuff like that). The only way would be to m... [more]

Localized Strings - how do they work?
Call of Duty 2 : CoD2 General
I do believe you have to have different versions of an *.iwd file. I say this because if you look at any "main" folder, you have files named "localized_[language]_iw*.iwd" which has the localized strings and sounds for that language. However, I am not ful... [more]

ScriptSearch AFK
Call of Duty 2 : CoD2 Scripting
Hmm, does it drift? I have never noticed any spectator camera drift before. Makes me curious. I think I might just constantly print the origin of a spectator camera to be sure, but as long as it isn't getting input from the client/player, it's origin shou... [more]

moving brushes error
Call of Duty 2 : CoD2 MP Mapping
Hello mk3y20 and welcome to MODSonline! There are a few things that needs to be fixed. First, you can get rid of the function "start()" If you are trying to get it to loop multiple times, just call "move()" at the bottom of the actual function to loop... [more]

ScriptSearch AFK
Call of Duty 2 : CoD2 Scripting
Hi Hyper, There is a way. I guess the simpliest would be to see if the player's origin is changing. If the origin is the same, then he must be AFK. Code:checkInactivePayer() { // If they disconnect or die, we need to end the loop. self endon("dis... [more]

allies dying
Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 SP Mapping
For the first part, you are going to have to to have a checker that checks for the amount of allies alive. Here is a quick example. Code:main() { // What I am going to do here is: // 1. Setup our objective // 2. watch for dead AI and end the mis... [more]

Search & Destroy Issues
Call of Duty : CoD Mapping
The error you are getting is due to a script runtime error. What is happening is the script that was running found a place where a loop could potentially run forever freezing the game. However, if you do like techno said, you should get just a little more... [more]

Call of Duty 2 : CoD2 General
You could modify every gametype so that the name mode is the manual_change (like it is for Search and Destroy). In every gametype script, there is the function, setClientNameMode. This can either be "manual_change" or "auto_change". Manual change me... [more]

Calculator?
Call of Duty 2 : CoD2 Scripting
Hello Zelzahim! In order for "sum" to increase, you need to add somewhere the addition operator to tell "sum" to increase: sum++; OR sum += 1; OR sum = sum+1; As for having two triggers to do this, try this script (untested)! I used two trigger_uses ... [more]

Call of Duty 2 : CoD2 MP Mapping
It depends exactly how you want to do it. Do you want it to play when the client connects so that they only hear it? If so, try something like this (Not tested). Code:main() { thread onClientConnect(); } onClientConnected() { while(1) { ... [more]

Left 4 Dead 2. Your thoughts?
General Gaming Topics : General Gaming
I will have to say, I like it better than the first. I think it might be the campains that run right into one another or the new weapons. Also, I like some of the new SI. I have yet to play Vs. or survival, but am looking forward to! However, I still thin... [more]

How does the pointfile work, and how to fix it
Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 SP Mapping
Like he said earlier, if you have portals in your map, it could just be a portal. Also, paste your compile log if you can. Check all portals and all sky box joints to make sure they are not leaking without your knowledge. If you still keep getting the ... [more]

Possibly. As I said before, make sure that the "tank" is linked to the "start_node". I also found a few errors in my code... NOTE: I did fix getentarray :P Code:#include maps\_utility; main() { setExpFog(0.00015, 0.15, 0.14, 0.13, 0); setCullD... [more]

Call of Duty 2 : CoD2 SP Mapping
Alright, so we are going to try this. Assuming that each "tank" is targeted to their start node, this should work. What I mean by that is, there should be a "line" in Radiant that connects the "tank" to the "start_node". If their isn't, select the tank, t... [more]
