It works the same for COD2.

OK, so I followed the tut, but it didn't do anything. I created a fire place and added some logs... I also added the commands listed in the tut to my gsc and fx files..

How do you position the fire?

the fx

main()
{
	level thread precacheFX();
	level thread spawnWorldFX();
}

precacheFX()
{
	level._effect["building_fire_med"]	= loadfx ("fx/fire/building_fire_med.efx");
	level._effect["giant_smoke_plumeBG"]	= loadfx ("fx/smoke/smoke_plumeBG.efx");
}

spawnWorldFX()
{
	//fire
	maps\_fx::loopfx("building_fire_med", (-184, -624, 568), 2);

	//smoke	
	maps\_fx::loopfx("giant_smoke_plumeBG", (-688 ,-720, 912), 0.6);
}

the gsc

#include maps\_utility;


main()
{
	maps\mp\_load::main();

	maps\mp_gobhouse_fx::main();

	level thread weaponrespawner("weapons", 5);

	ambientPlay("ambient_mp_gobhouse");
	
	game["allies"] = "american";
	game["axis"] = "german";
	game["attackers"] = "allies";
	game["defenders"] = "axis";
	game["american_soldiertype"] = "normandy";
	game["german_soldiertype"] = "normandy";

                // Set some cvars
                setcvar("r_glowbloomintensity0","1");
	setcvar("r_glowbloomintensity1","1");
	setcvar("r_glowskybleedintensity0",".5");
}

weaponrespawner(targetname, defaultrespawndelay)
{
weapons = getentarray(targetname, "targetname");
if(weapons.size > 0)
{
	for(i=0; i < weapons.size; i++) 
{
if(!isdefined(weapons[i].script_timescale))
weapons[i].script_timescale = defaultrespawndelay;

// kick off a thread to listen for when the item gets picked up
	weapons[i] thread weapon_think(weapons[i].script_timescale);
}
}
}

 

// self = weapon reference
weapon_think(delaytime)
{

// capture important weapon data first to allow us to respawn them

	classname = self.classname;
	model = self.model;
	count = self.count;
	org = self.origin;
	angles = self.angles;
	targetname = self.targetname;

// Wait till the weapon gets picked up
	self waittill("trigger");

// Wait the delay before respawn
	wait delaytime;

// respawn the weapon
	weapon = spawn(classname, org);
	weapon.angles = angles;
	weapon.count = count;
	weapon setmodel(model); 
	weapon.script_timescale = delaytime;
	weapon.targetname = targetname;
// Kick off a new thread with the new weapon and kill the old one
	weapon thread weapon_think(delaytime);
}

I get a scripting error.

Marlow writes...Lol call me crazy but i think posting the script error just might help.

Your crazy! OK, I guess I'll post it... I thought you would be able to tell by looking at the gsc... The script works perfectly without the lines the tut says to add, so I figure I just put them in the wrong place.

Marlow writes...Yes but it is much easier if i know where to look but anyway it is because you forgot the mp in your fx



should be

OK, I'll give that a try.. Isn't there a console command to sent the error to a text file? I would have had to take several screen shots...

Do I not have to tell COD2 where to put the fire? Should I put a brush in the map somewhere? The tut didn't say...

Yeah, that didn't do anything... What is the console comand to send the error to txt, or how can I copy it?

another note.. if I had the script wrong in my fx files, it was only because the tut had it wrong too.. Should I PM the guy who wrote the tut? I copied and pasted it in.
