I have got a great idea for a new map, just that theres one thing that i would need your help with before i get started.

I would like to create a prefab of a simple dirt block which the player would then be able to destroy by bashing it.

I've yet created a script_brushmodel of the block named simply "block", and a trigger_damage named "trigger".

I know the script for these kind of stuff is quite simple, and i believe that i might be ale to write that part by myself. I really dont know how to attach a script to a prefab though, and i also dont know how to pack the prefab into the .iwd file.

Any help with this, fellow modders?

Bumping.

A prefab is just a map file which can be loaded into an existing or new map. The script for any prefab would need to be added to the mapname.gsc of the map have imported the prefab too.

You don't need to package the prefab into the iwd because it is already added to the map when compiled.

If you need help with your script, post what you have here and i will be happy to help.

Hello, and thanks alot.

The script i will be using is at the moment really simple, and goes somewhere along these lines.

main()
{

block=getent ("block","targetname");
trigger=getent ("trigger","targetname");

trigger waittill ("trigger");
wait(0.1);
trigger waittill ("trigger");
block delete();

}

This script is tested and works when i put just one block into my map, but i would like to have alot of blocks in it when it's done, and i do not yet know how to fix that.

When you use 'getent' your script is looking for one entity 'get entity'. For more than one, you need to use 'getentarray'. Will will grab all the entities with the same targetname.

main()
{

block=getentarray ("block","targetname");
trigger=getentarray ("trigger","targetname");

trigger waittill ("trigger");

block delete();

}

Thanks again. Your script does give me the following error tho.

You will have to add "targetname","trigger" to your newly created trigger (trigger mutliple, use...)

Well... i have. That's strange.

although it does give that error and all u can double check to see if u have the trigger just slip this in ur script

if(!isDefined(trigger))
self iprintlnbold("you do not have a trigger");

although kinda pointless to add that sense the error is basicly telling u already that u dont have a trigger so just double check in radaint make sure ur doing it correctly if anything just delete the trigger u have now and make a new one that might help.

Well. Theres a trigger there. I removed the script and tested again, and the "use" symbol appeared as i get close.
