Hello again to all COD fans.

As I mentioned earlier I am experimenting with some of the many tutorials found here and that seems to raise as many questions as answers (can be my curious nature?)

What I (and maybe many others) regret is that Radient does not have an online Help and that all knowledge about Radiant and scripting seems to be scattered around the WWW. Maybe it's just me?

I have tried P.o.W. 's tutorial about AI using an MG and that works OK. Now I've created a spawner with a count of 3 and indeed the AI respawns 3 times after being eliminated. In the tut P.o.W. mentioned using (int) script_killspawner to stop the spawning when another trigger is hit. The comment says: "When you go through a trigger with this on it, any spawners that have the same # will be deleted"

What "#" is meant here? In other words: how does the trigger know which AI to stop spawning?

I have also tried the key (string) script_emptyspawner, but I cannot get that to work either.

Thanks!

Your AI MG42 Spawner has a certain number, for example if he's the only one he'd be "1"... but you can set that number to whatever you like, for example if he could be number "3".

The "script_killspawner" tells the trigger to kill whatever spawner number you have set, for example if you MG42 guy was number "3", you'd have the a key "script_killspawner" and a value of "3". This would either stop the spawning of the AI or kill the guy.

I don't know exactly how to give the AI spawner a number but that's how the "script_killspawner" works.

Hello djheps,

Thanks for your reply. The problem is, that you have to enter the right number ("#") as value for the key "script_killspawner". I would expect that this number would be the value of a key from the AI-entity.

Could someone tell me where to find the necessary number? I'm also still interested to know about the "script_emptyspawner" key.

Hello to all,

I know it's not the "Forum way", but I don't let go of a problem that easy, so I found the solution myself.

While exploring the Newvillers map I found that both the AI and the trigger need the key "script_killspawner". This way you can give a whole bunch of AI the same "#" (which is the value of the key for the AI). Creating one trigger with the key "script_killspawner" set to the same value, stops the spawning of all. For some reason the texture is set to "KILL", but I don't know if that's really necessary.

Thanks anyway.
