I am trying to create a multiplayer map with a number of sub-objectives in it and was wondering if there is a way in multiplayer to manipulate the score of every member after a trigger is fired (such as exploding a fuel depot - so the Axis score would get decremented and Allied incremented)

I know that there is a way to do it in UO, but so far I haven't been able to figure it out for COD2. Do any of you guys have any advice? Is this even possible in COD2 multiplayer?

Yes.. you can do it in the same way as it's done in UO.

It most likely means rewriting the gametype script, that's where the score is kept...
Or writing your own gametype.

Ah, I was hoping it would be easier, so I could do it from the script of the trigger.

In UO I think it's

self.score = self.score + 20;

But if I have that in my explosion script, it does everything else with the exception of adding 20 points to the player.

The things you'll need to get this working are:
game["alliedscore"]
game["axisscore"]
setTeamScore("team", "teamscore")

so you could do something like...

while(1)
{	
	objtrigger waittill("trigger", other);

	if(game["matchstarted"] && other.pers["team"] == "allies")
	{
		game["alliedscore"]++;
		game["axisscore"]--;
	}
	else if(game["matchstarted"] && other.pers["team"] == "axis")
	{
		game["alliedscore"]--;
		game["axisscore"]++;
	}

	setTeamScore("allies", game["alliedscore"]);
	setTeamScore("axis", game["axisscore"]);

	wait 0.1;
}

change the objtrigger to the name of your trigger and it should work but that's just basic and you'll probably want to add a lot to it.

Hi sharkeh,

Cheers for that, but it doesn't work - Even if I only put:

game["alliedscore"]++;
game["axisscore"]--;

into the trigger code, I get a script runtime error.

Well that code is nowhere near complete and I'd hoped you could fill in the blanks so to speak and work the rest out. It does work, however, there are too many unknowns for me to do a complete method.

No, I still can't get it to work. Even if I just put these lines into the trigger code:

game["alliedscore"]--;
game["axisscore"]++;

setTeamScore("allies", game["alliedscore"]);
setTeamScore("axis", game["axisscore"]);


I get a script compile error.

Eyup KK, did the code i sent you work?

Hi Chalkie,

Nah, even the player.name code you had in your map didn't work. I just realised about two seconds ago that its maybe because I'm launching the map from the compiler and not setting up the server and loading the map...
