and shoot a board covering a window


can somone get me the script and past it in there post!

is it possible to make a windows that you can look threw and sniper threw shoot threw and break.

Ok, first let me appologize for digging up a dead topic, but I've got a problem. The tutorial linked here was originally written for the original CoD. Problem I have is that there's no efx for shattered glass, and on further inspection of that efx from the original is there's no xmodel either.

Now, mind you that I've seen it is possible for CoD2 as Provence Beta has the windows scripted. But the problem I have is that I can't read the code (haven't even gotten too heavy into the scripting side of things yet) and have no idea how he (the mapper) did it. So, I want to script my windows to break, but have no idea where to begin. Seems like a lot of people have been looking for this, but the answer's always more or less the same and yet it appears I'm the only one getting stumped at the FX portion of it. Am I missing something? Is there a tutorial on this somewhere? I tried looking at the exploder tutorial, but the glass portion of that won't work either (got a syntax error on the script). Can someone plz help?

Ty getting into scripting a bit then... it's all in there most likely.. including the effects he used.

Try this tutorial.

http://www.modsonline.com/Tutorials-read-146.html

I tried that tutorial. Just before posting here, actually. I got a script error when I tried to test it, tho. I'll give it another go and see what's up so I can see what you guys think.

As for getting into scripting, the concepts I have down (basic scripting concepts, that is) since I've done some scripting in other languages before. But my problem is time right now. I barely have enough time right now to try mapping (which I'm still learning), nevermind trying to learn a new language. Hopefully this weekend I can look at it more in depth and try to put something together, but it's hard to say if that'll happen or not.

Ok, I got it figured out. First, reason I couldn't understand the scripting by the dude who made Provence is because it's in French. BUT it finally occured to me that I was staring at an EFX file. So I compared that to a stock EFX and realised it was pretty much the same. So I tried it using the "breakable glass without scripting" tutorial and sure enough, it worked.

I now have a new problem. There's no sound for the glass. I copied the soundalias (erased all the lines not pertaining to the glass) which looks like this:

glassbreak,,misc/vitre.wav,1,,,,,50,1400,voice,streamed,,,mp_opcenter

I then copied a couple lines to my gsc:

main()
{
	precacheFX();

	level.scr_sound["vitre_explode"]	= "vitre_explode";
}

precacheFX()
{

	level._effect["glassbreak"] = loadfx ("fx/explose/vitre_explo.efx");

} 

I looked all over his original code, but found no other code pertaining to "vitre" (vitre_explo.efx being the FX file for the glass breaking). Now, as far as I could tell from the tutorials I've looked at, I could essentially attach the sound to the same trigger... right? That being the case, I tried adding "thread alert_sound();" to the main() of my fx.gsc and then creating a thread that looked like this:

alert_sound()
{
 alerts = getentarray ("glassbreak", "targetname");
 while (1)
 {
  
  {
   for (i=1;i
    alerts[0] playsound("vitre_explode");

   alerts[0] playsound("vitre_explode");
   
   wait (56.6);

     self thread alert_sound();

     return;
  }
  }
 }

Now that I'm typing this out, I'm realizing that the for line is missing code. This is how it's displayed in the tutorial. So, what am I missing? Could is finish this line off with "(i=1;i>10;i++)"? I quickly tried that, but CoD would hang while loading the map (I'm assuming the loop was hanging it).

I'm missing so much here (over my head). So can anyone help me out in associating a sound with this breaking glass?

that specific for line should be:
for (i =0; i < alerts.size; i++)
but that script of yours don't make sense really :). as far as I'm concerned, the sound lines should already be in there ...

find in the script the code relating to when the trigger gets triggered. haven't look at the code but it should be something like this :

<trigger> waittill("damage");

following this line should be the "window break" script... effect playing, replacement of the intact window to a broken one ... something like that. now what you want to do for sound is add a line right beside the effect one, so the sound plays at the same time as the effect does.

<entity> playsound ("<sound name>")

entity being some entity, like the window itself. sound name is defined in the soundaliases file.

if the code already has a playsound line, then it's probably an error in the sound name. I see that you've called the sound "glassbreak" in the soundaliases, but have level.scr_sound["vitre_explode"] = "vitre_explode"; in the main. I would try to name the sound in the soundalias "vitre_explode" instead if see if that works.
