Thnx, but how can i tell the spawn to actually make the drone, as in how can i make it call on the _drones.gsc file? Basically last thing ineed to know is say i give the spawn a name of dronespawn. What then wud i need to do to make it actually call onto the _drones.gsc and make the drone.

Btw, they used drones in many lvls including point-du-hoc, many british lvls, and the Demoltion lvl for russians. Ive read through their code and i still cant figure out how they triggered the drones to spawn and move.

Hey Bolt, got your PM the other day but I had just gotten over a stomach flu so I had headaches. >_< Sorry for the late reply but hopefully this helps:

spawn_drone()
{
// Spawn him at a location
guy = spawn("script_model", (x,y,z));

// Define the AI
guy character\american_ranger_normandy_low_wet::main();

// Reference to _drones to automatically assign weapons
guy drone_allies_assignWeapon();

// Give him a targetname
guy.targetname = "drone";

// Make him an ally
guy.team = "allies";

// Not sure what this does but it's called every time a new drone is made
guy makeFakeAI();

// Assigns a fake death incase he should die
guy.fakeDeath = qFakeDeath;

// Sets up drone to become self aware and give him an idle animation as default
guy thread drone_think( self );
}

Yo Sparks thnx alot for that code but it gave me an error.

Unitnitialised variable = 'qFakeDeath'

Here is my .gsc

//#include maps\_utility;
//#include maps\_drones;
main()
{
maps\_load::main();




level.player takeallweapons();
level.player giveWeapon ("m1garand");
level.player giveWeapon ("fraggrenade");
level.player switchToWeapon ("m1garand");

thread spawn_drone();
}
spawn_drone()
{
// Spawn him at a location
guy = spawn("script_model", (-256,-272,40));

// Define the AI
guy character\american_ranger_normandy_low_wet::main();

// Reference to _drones to automatically assign weapons
guy drone_allies_assignWeapon();

// Give him a targetname
guy.targetname = "drone";

// Make him an ally
guy.team = "allies";

// Not sure what this does but it's called every time a new drone is made
guy makeFakeAI();

// Assigns a fake death incase he should die
guy.fakeDeath = qFakeDeath;

// Sets up drone to become self aware and give him an idle animation as default
guy thread drone_think( self );
}

Wats up with it? And thnx again for the help

My bad, here's the correction:

qFakeDeath = false;
guy.fakeDeath = qFakeDeath;

I really appreciate all the help Sparks, but i got another error
:(

unkown function: (file 'maps\test2.gsc, line 42)

guy thread drone_think( self );

I think it might not be calling on the _drones file since it seems to not be able to find the drone_think thread. But im a noob at coding so i wouldn tknow if i am calling on it correctly.

//#include maps\_utility;
//#include maps\_drones;
main()
{
maps\_load::main();




level.player takeallweapons();
level.player giveWeapon ("m1garand");
level.player giveWeapon ("fraggrenade");
level.player switchToWeapon ("m1garand");

thread spawn_drone();
}
spawn_drone()
{
// Spawn him at a location
guy = spawn("script_model", (-256,-272,40));

// Define the AI
guy character\american_ranger_normandy_low_wet::main();

// Reference to _drones to automatically assign weapons
guy drone_allies_assignWeapon();

// Give him a targetname
guy.targetname = "drone";

// Make him an ally
guy.team = "allies";

// Not sure what this does but it's called every time a new drone is made
guy makeFakeAI();

// Assigns a fake death incase he should die
qFakeDeath = false;
guy.fakeDeath = qFakeDeath;

// Sets up drone to become self aware and give him an idle animation as default
guy thread drone_think( self );
}

maybe guy thread drone_think("self"); ?

Thnx for help, it didnt work, sparks, i know u gave me the script. Thnx for it mate. But i know that the game isnt calling on the _drones.gsc file. Thats why the ENTIRE script is buggy. Can some1 show me how to properly call on another script for that segment of code?
