player scoring and damaging/destroying objects

possibly someone can help me with one or two lines of code - i'm not all new to this.

currently im scriptin a self-designed mp_map wich has a radio that can be turned on by the player.
the switching works but i would like to switch it off by "destroying" it.
ie - add a certain amount of damage by shooting at it or throwing a grenade.

the second part of my problem is:
how do i determin which player switches the radio on?

why? i want to grant the player that switches the radio on or destroys it some kind of bonus. maybe 5 kills or the player that turns it on heals much faster as long as the radio works.
a bit like "headquarters" but for deathmatch.
i didn't find something usable (i.e. "i understand") in the .iwd-files that come with CoD2 nor have i found someone who has done something like that in the tutorials or CoD/CoDUO-Forums


so in short:
the current player is referenced:
........

something is damaged/destroyed by:
........


i don't need the radio to dissapear or change looks - the next player should be allowed to switch it on again ...

Damage: Use a trigger_damage, in the enitity window you can set how much damage must be dealt before it is activated.

If you use a trigger to turn the radio on, you can use this:
trig waittill ("trigger",person);

Then person becomes the one who activated the trigger.

The same might be done for the trigger damage when destroying it (I'm not sure if that works though).

1024 thx!

works fine though i still have not figured out how to update the player-hud. should be a single line that is called, when a player spawns...

anyway - the score is raised and the radio can be "destroyed" again

that's all i needed!

now for the next prob

please write for me descriptive, how make HQ map.
thx

weellll....

i have not done a REAL hq-map so far but that should not be so hard.

i don't know how to manipulate the HUD to show the position of the radio as in real HQ mode and how to make a progress-bar for setting up and destroying the HQ.

apart from that it should not be so hard to do:
look into my scripts, they are quite well-commented
(http://www.andees-arca.de/pacmanfever.zip)

for a real HQ you will need a trigger around the radio that registers how many players of what kind(allies/axis) are around the radio.

within the .iwd files there is a folder maps\mp\gametypes which contains a file named "hq.gsc" that should do everything you need

it even has a SHORT readme in front to tell you how to make your map a REAL multiplayer-hq map.

simply unpack the .iwd files with 7-zip or filzip or even winzip...

don't hesistate to ask me again!

Tuborg, don't hijack other peoples threads.

As for HQ, HQ is really simple.

Just open one of the stock mp .gsc files for a map (mp_carentan.gsc for instance) and take a look around in there.
HQ used TDM spawnpoints and the radios are added through the scripting.
