Remember the flare that goes up in the first sp map in waw? Im trying to get it to work for my map but I havnt to yet. The flare is a vehicle so I made a path of a vehicle and I have added the following to my map gsc

maps\_flare::main( "tag_origin", undefined, "white" );

looking at MAK.gsc I saw they had this line

level maps\_flare::flare_from_targetname( "flare1", 1, 2, 1, ( 0.83, 0.82, 1 ) );

so I made my vehicle have a targetname flare1 and add this to my map

flare()
{
	trigger = getent ( "flaretrig", "targetname" );
	trigger waittill ("trigger");
	level maps\_flare::flare_from_targetname( "flare1", 1, 2, 1, ( 0.83, 0.82, 1 ) ); 

	wait( 5 );


}

cause I want it to flare when i hit a trigger I also added the csv lines

rawfile,maps/_flare.gsc
fx,misc/flare_start
fx,misc/fx_flare_sky_white
fx,misc/flare_end


At the moment when I start the map it loads and then game immediately exits.

I might be on the completely wrong track anyone have any suggestions or know how to do this?

whats the error message in console?

there is no error message....map loads...gets to end of load...codwaw exits back to desktop.

Did you try this? http://wiki.treyarch.com/wiki/Add_Flares_To_Your_Map

It looks a bit too simple for my liking.

ya i tried it it didnt work, also thought it was a bit to simple...i havnt tried but I think its mp only.

include,module_flare.csv

(go into that module though and comment out the d3dbsp)

Looks like Treyarch uploaded a tutorial written by Chris P, for Japanese Ambushing. This has flare stuff in it too!

i think that iof you can set upthat flare in the clinent side it might work a the flare fx is 1shots and only work clientside not serverside so wont run from gsc i think my best guess it has bothered me for ages i want to do the same thingis with other 1shot fx and a trigger setup
still working on it


i got errors about the utiility.gsc and stuff as iwas trying to do it server side adding the scripts to my map.gsc instead of the map.csc's
its all a bit above me but the slow blade penetrates the shield
