Heey,

Playername was as free as he can go, and made me a mortar script + prefab for my map! (thanks playername

But, now the problem;
Error is:

******* script runtime error *******
undefined is not an object: (file 'maps/mp/mortars.gsc', line 18)

Map gsc:

main()
{

maps\mp\mortars::main(); // loading the mortar script
maps\mp\mp_geilheond_drown::main(); // drown in the water
thread wall();

wall2 = getent ("auto2", "targetname");
wall2 hide();

trig waittill ("trigger");

wall delete();
wait 0.5;
wall2 show();

orgmove = getent ("mortar_hit", "targetname");

orgmove movez (-168, 1); 
}

Script is:

main() 
{ 
// Specify two different explosion effects to randomly play 
level._effect["mortar_explosion"][0] = loadfx ("fx/impacts/newimps/dirthit_mortar2day.efx");

// !!! ERROR LINE BELOW wait untill trigger is used !!!
trig waittill("trigger",other);

thread mortars(); 
}

{

break; 
} 
} 
} 

// Play the incomming mortar sound effect 
mortar[rand] playsound("mortar_incoming"); 

// Wait 2 seconds while the imcomming sound plays 
wait 2; 

// Do the explosion effect 
origin = mortar[rand] getorigin(); 
playfx (level._effect["mortar_explosion"][randomint(2)], origin); 

// Play the explosion sound 
mortar[rand] playsound("mortar_explosion"); 

// Make the explosion cause damage 

radiusDamage(mortar[rand].origin + (0,0,12), 500, 50, 100); 

}
thread mortar(); 
} 

CUTOUT:
Error lines:

// ERROR LINE BELOW wait untill trigger is used
trig waittill("trigger",other);

Somebody who can fix this problem?

Once again Playername, thanks soo much!

maybe it's because you have ''other'' in that line.

go from this: trig waittill("trigger",other);
to this: trig waittill("trigger");

Guess not eh ;)

trig = getent ("wall_trig", "targetname");

trig is still undefined after this call.
Check if you have the proper object in your map.

nedgerblansky writes...

Yeah, i have a trigger called wall_trig

the error is saying you do not have a trigger with the targetname of wall_trig

StrYdeR writes...

Omg dumb ass script, can't see that I have a trigger called wall_trig?!

Classname: trigger_damage
spawnflags: 35
target: auto1
targetname wall_trig

omg! (from Entity)

And you are sure, the map the script is actually run on, is the right one (not and old version in a iwd file without the trigger, or and old one bc. after you've added the trigger the map wasn't compiled due to a leak or anything else)?

OLD_MAN_WITH_GUN writes...

Yeah, because when I open it without the mortar thingey it works (without the script, with the ingame things)...

Too bad :(

LOL you wankers!

Look closely at the error readout:


The error is in the mortar script, it cant find an entity in the map with a targetname of "trigger_mortar"

This the line it's falling over on.
trig = getent("trigger_mortar","targetname");
