Hello everyone! I am wondering if there is a way to terminate/kill an existing thread()? For example:

Here is my code now:

main()
{
maps\_load::main();
level.allies_accuracy = 10;
level.axis_accuracy = 100;
thread setupplayer();
thread enemy();
thread obj1();
}

setupplayer()
{
level.player takeallweapons();
level.player giveWeapon("mp40");
level.player giveWeapon("luger");
level.player switchToWeapon("mp40");
level.player setViewmodel("xmodel/viewmodel_hands_german" );
}

enemy()
{
guys = getentarray("guy", "targetname");
for(i = 0; i < guys.size; i++)
guys
thread mission_failure();
}

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()
{


terminate thread(enemy());

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");
}

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

I want to terminate/kill my "enemy()" thread after i complete the first objective so I can kill the German Soldier without failing the mission.

If anyone knows how this could be done, I would greatly appreciate it!


Thanks!

add "if statement" in the thread.
if(isdefined(level.ending) && level.ending == 1)
return;

add when you are in the last part to the script
level.ending = 1;

Ni3ls,

Where would I implement that code into my already existing code for it to work? I'm still a little confused. I'm sorry for my confusion.

Well im not sure how your map works.
So correct me.
You are walking in the map. If you shoot somebody, mission is over.
If you walk further you have to kill somebody. If you shoot him, you win.

so in obj2() you have to kill that person to win.
So when you are in that part, let know that you in the final part.

obj2()
{
level.ending = 1;

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

Now don't let the mission fail because you kill the objective

enemy()
{
if(isdefined(level.ending) && level.ending == 1)
return;
guys = getentarray("guy", "targetname");
for(i = 0; i < guys.size; i++)
guys 
thread mission_failure();	
}

Something like that

Ahhh roger that, now I'm tracking.

So, I implimented that code into mine and I got an error saying:

"array is not an object" for self waittill("death");

Attached is my .map file, my .gsc and my .str files and my code is below too. I'm out of ideas on how to get this to work :(

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


main()
{
maps\_load::main();
level.allies_accuracy = 10;
level.axis_accuracy = 100;
thread setupplayer();
thread enemy();
thread obj1();
}

setupplayer()
{
level.player takeallweapons();
level.player giveWeapon("mp40");
level.player giveWeapon("luger");
level.player switchToWeapon("mp40");
level.player setViewmodel("xmodel/viewmodel_hands_german" );
}

enemy()
{
if(isdefined(level.ending) && level.ending == 1)
return;
guys = getentarray("guy", "targetname");
for(i = 0; i < guys.size; i++)
guys
thread mission_failure();
}

obj1()
{
obj1 = getent("obj1", "targetname");
objective_add(1, "active", &"TESTING_OBJECTIVE_1",getent("obj1marker", "targetname").origin);
objective_current(1);

obj1 waittill("trigger");

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

thread obj2();
}


obj2()
{
level.ending = 1;

obj2 = getent("obj2", "targetname");
objective_add(2, "active", &"TESTING_OBJECTIVE_2",getent("obj2", "targetname").origin);
objective_current(2);

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

mission_failure()
{
self waittill("death");
setCvar("ui_deadquote", "@TESTING_MISSION_FAILURE_ALERTED_ENEMY");
maps\_utility::missionFailedWrapper();
}

Ni3ls, I appreciate your help greatly! You think you'd be able to get this working for me?? This is the last piece of my puzzle to make my SP map awesome! Once I get this up code up and running I will be submitting my SP map to you and the rest of the Modsonline Community.

V/r,
Luke.

Self (the player?) is not defined here.

mission_failure()
{
    self waittill("death");

    for (i = 0; i < guys.size; i++)
        guys thread mission_failure();

Why do you have that waittill("death")?
If you shoot the "guys" mission will be over right?

You are correct Ni3ls, I want it to be that if I shoot the "guys" before I complete objective 1 then the mission will fail. I am unsure as to why I had "Waittill("death");" in my code...I obtained that piece of script from another post.

So, I deleted that line of code from my mission_failure() thread, however, When I kill the "Guys" before I reach objective 1 the mission does not end. When I load up the map after two seconds it like almost restarts the map real fast and then allows for play through.

Your thoughts on the matter?? I'm lost now

can you compile map for me and make it a working .iwd file?

That would be too easy Ni3ls! I'll make the .iwd and include the .map as well. Give me just one moment!

Ni3ls,

Attached is the testing.zip file containing the .iwd file. Inside the file is the compiled .bsp file, .str, .gsc and .map file.


V/r,
Luke.
