Hi everyone,

So I am 95% done with my single player map. In order for me to complete it, I am trying to add a function where if I kill a German Soldier before his time.

I.E - Im on OBJ 2 and I need to kill a German Sentre during OBJ 4 but if I kill him while im on OBJ 2 it threads a mission failure and the level restarts to last checkpoint.

I am able to get a "Mission Failure" working when I kill the German Soldier. So I am 50% complete...however, when I get to the OBJ where I need to kill the soldier, I'll kill him and it still threads the mission failure . I'm decent at scripting (Not a pro by any means). I have to turn towards you all for your help and guidance.

Here is my code:

#include maps\_utility;
#include maps\_anim;
#using_animtree("generic_human");

main()
{

maps\_load::main();
//precachemodel ("xmodel/vehicle_stuka_flying");




thread german();
thread german2();
thread obj1();
}

obj1()
{
obj1 = getent("obj1", "targetname");
objective_add(1, "active", &"OASIS_OBJECTIVE_FOLLOW",getent("obj1marker", "targetname").origin);
objective_current(1);

obj1 waittill("trigger");

objective_state(1, "done");
obj1 delete();

thread obj2();
}


obj2()
{
thread germansuccess();
thread german2success();

obj2 = getent("obj2", "targetname");
objective_add(2, "active", &"OASIS_OBJECTIVE_KILL_SNIPER",getent("obj2", "targetname").origin);
objective_current(2);

obj2 waittill("death");
objective_state(2, "done");
}


german()
{
german = getent ("german", "script_noteworthy");;

if(isAlive(german))
{
german.maxsightdistsqrd = (5*5);
german.health = 10;
german waittill("death");
thread mission_failure();
}
wait(.05);
}



german2()
{
german2 = getent ("german2", "script_noteworthy");;

if(isAlive(german2))
{
german2.maxsightdistsqrd = (5*5);
german2.health = 10;
german2 waittill("death");
thread mission_failure();
}
wait(.05);
}


germansuccess()
{
german = getent ("german", "script_noteworthy");;

if(isAlive(german))
{
german.maxsightdistsqrd = (5*5);
german.health = 10;
german waittill("death");
}
wait(.05);
}



german2success()
{
german2 = getent ("german2", "script_noteworthy");;

if(isAlive(german2))
{
german2.maxsightdistsqrd = (5*5);
german2.health = 10;
german2 waittill("death");
}
wait(.05);
}



mission_failure()
{
setCvar("ui_deadquote", "@SCRIPT_MISSION_FAILURE_ALERTED_ENEMY");
maps\_utility::missionFailedWrapper();
}


This is annoying the living crap out of me, if anyone can rescue me I'll be eternally grateful!

Yeah I had similar problems in my Call of Duty 4 Rooftops mappack.
when you kill the german the fail function still waits for german to die and do mission failed.

You have to put the fail wait in a loop and break it when the german is dead so the fail function is not triggered.

#include maps\_utility;

#include maps\_anim;

#using_animtree("generic_human");

main()
{
maps\_load::main();
//precachemodel ("xmodel/vehicle_stuka_flying");

flag_init("disable_fail"); // initialize the flag after load main and before the main mission functions start

thread german_init();
thread obj1();
}




german_init()
{
german = getent ("german", "script_noteworthy");;


for(;;) // infinite loop
{

if(isAlive(german))
{
german.maxsightdistsqrd = (5*5);
german.health = 10;
german waittill("death");
thread mission_failure();
}

else if(flag(disable_fail)) //else if flag is set, disable the fail via flag
break; //stop loop so fail wont work if german dies.

wait 0.05;	 // when you use infinite loop put that wait here so you wont get infinite loop error

}

wait(.05);	
}





obj1()
{
obj1 = getent("obj1", "targetname"); 
objective_add(1, "active", &"OASIS_OBJECTIVE_FOLLOW",getent("obj1marker", "targetname").origin);
objective_current(1); 

obj1 waittill("trigger");

objective_state(1, "done"); 
obj1 delete();

thread obj2();	
}


obj2()
{
flag_set("disable_fail");

thread germansuccess();

obj2 = getent("obj2", "targetname"); 
objective_add(2, "active", &"OASIS_OBJECTIVE_KILL_SNIPER",getent("obj2", "targetname").origin);
objective_current(2); 

obj2 waittill("death");
objective_state(2, "done");
}

germansuccess()
{
german = getent ("german", "script_noteworthy");;

if(isAlive(german))
{
german.maxsightdistsqrd = (5*5);
german.health = 10;
german waittill("death");
}
wait(.05);	

thread continue_mission();

}




mission_failure()	
{
setCvar("ui_deadquote", "@SCRIPT_MISSION_FAILURE_ALERTED_ENEMY");
maps\_utility::missionFailedWrapper();
}

I removed and changed some stuff to hopefully make it more clear.

I hope it helps.

SPi,

Thank you so much for your reply and your help! I am unfortunately running into a script error:

*********** script compile error ************
uninitialised variable 'disable_fail'; (file 'maps/testing.gsc', line 37)
else if(flag(disable_fail)) //else if flag is set, disable the fail via flag

I have no idea where to go from there haha. Your thoughts SPi??

SPi,

Okay, so after tinkering with the code a little bit, I was able to get the map to run. Here is the code:

#include maps\_utility;

#include maps\_anim;

#using_animtree("generic_human");

main()
{
maps\_load::main();
//precachemodel ("xmodel/vehicle_stuka_flying");

flag_init("disable_fail"); // initialize the flag after load main and before the main mission functions start

thread german_init();
thread obj1();
}




german_init()
{

german = getent ("german", "script_noteworthy");;


for(;;) // infinite loop
{

if(isAlive(german))
{
german.maxsightdistsqrd = (5*5);
german.health = 10;
german waittill("death");
thread mission_failure();
}

else if(flag("disable_fail")) //else if flag is set, disable the fail via flag
break; //stop loop so fail wont work if german dies.

wait 0.05; // when you use infinite loop put that wait here so you wont get infinite loop error

}

wait(.05);
}





obj1()
{
obj1 = getent("obj1", "targetname");
objective_add(1, "active", &"OASIS_OBJECTIVE_FOLLOW",getent("obj1marker", "targetname").origin);
objective_current(1);

obj1 waittill("trigger");

objective_state(1, "done");
obj1 delete();

thread obj2();
}


obj2()
{
flag_set("disable_fail");

thread germansuccess();

obj2 = getent("obj2", "targetname");
objective_add(2, "active", &"OASIS_OBJECTIVE_KILL_SNIPER",getent("obj2", "targetname").origin);
objective_current(2);

obj2 waittill("death");
objective_state(2, "done");
}

germansuccess()
{
german = getent ("german", "script_noteworthy");;

if(isAlive(german))
{
german.maxsightdistsqrd = (5*5);
german.health = 10;
german waittill("death");
}
wait(.05);

//thread continue_mission();

}



mission_failure()
{
setCvar("ui_deadquote", "@SCRIPT_MISSION_FAILURE_ALERTED_ENEMY");
maps\_utility::missionFailedWrapper();
}


I changed the else if(flag(disable_fail)) to

else if(flag("disable_fail"))

is that correct? ^^ because my map still ends while either OBJ1 or OBJ2 are active when I kill the german.

I also // the thread continue_mission() because I don't have that for this little level.

What will I need to do to get this to work with the minor tweaks I made? We're my tweaks even beneficial?

You successfully did correct my mistake with the flag
set disable_fail to "disable_fail"

Continue_mission()
is your own and you can remove or modify it. Its just to show you where to continue your missions script.

Now I don't know if it will 100% work the way you want.
I might have skipped something so thats why objectives dont work properly.
I may try to make a testmap with it tomorrow. Tell me if there's anything else you need.
I have learned so much stuff about cod sp mapping that i believe that i can teach a lot. Its always my pleasure to spread out my so far knowledge. keep it up.

SPi,

I can't thank you enough for your willingness to help me. I've been modding COD2 off and on for the past 5 yrs however, this past 2 months I've really been trying to get the handle on scripting. Some things regarding it just confuse the crap out of me haha.

Attached is my test map (.map, .gsc, .str). I figured id just upload my work so it would alleviate you from having to create it from scratch.

Id hate to add another request but if you have time, and wouldn't mind, I am trying to figure out also how to complete an objective when an allied soldier gets to my locations. I have got it to work only off of the "wait('insert how many seconds it took for my ally to make it to me);" function. I know there is an easier way, I am just a noob to scripting still.

If the above didn't make sense, here is some code from my Main SP map I am trying to finish:

obj1()
{
org = spawn ("script_origin", level.player getorigin());
org.angles = level.player getplayerangles();
level.player linkto(org);

obj1 = getent("obj1", "targetname");
objective_add(1, "active", &"OASIS_OBJECTIVE_WAIT");
objective_current(1);

wait(11.5); //<--------It takes 11.5 seconds for my ally to reach me then I just call the "objective_state(1, "done"); function....theres gotta be a better way though because sometimes it takes a little longer to reach me and sometimes a little shorter due to my pathnodes and other allys running to me bumping into eachother.

objective_state(1, "done");
obj1 delete();

wait(1);

//*****************Intro Dialog***************\\
alert = getent ("dialog1source", "targetname");
alert playsound("dialog1");

wait(5);

alert playsound("dialog2");

wait(5);

alert playsound("dialog3");

wait(5);

alert playsound("dialog4");

wait(5);
//*****************Dialog Ends***************\\

level.player unlink();
org delete();

thread obj2();
}

Anyways, my priority is still figuring out the mission fail if I kill a german before I am supposed to, then if theres time we'll work on the completing objectives when the ally is next to you.

Again, Thank you very much for your help SPi. I'll be looking forward to your solution in a few!
