i am in the process of making a fairly large map and I am hoping to have some scripting to make it really cool. The scripting I need is:
how to make searchlights sweep across the sky (like sp dam)
put in plane engine noises around them
killed if you walk into the props of the planes
killed if you fall into water
injury w/ flames and barbed wire and electrical fences
flames and smoke
useable elevators
rotating radar dishes, windmills, and water wheels
radio noises
also if it would be possible, wounded guys on stretchers (like in the sp stalingrad (1st part) on the docks)
i think that is it
thanks

For the searchlight and the rotating objects you should look at the manname.gsc for the maps that you have already seen those things happen in. Most of the scripting will be right there for you to pluck out and slap into your gsc.

I would imagine you would have to identify the objects involved with a script origin or something to like them to the script you are going to place in yourmap.gsc.

Take a look at the gsc for kursk for the rotating object and look in the dam map for the searchlight. The script in those gscs will call upon scripts that are already in the game, you just have to connect the dots.

if you load up the mp_foy map that comes with uotools you will find examples for most events and objects in there. Use those as a template for your own map.

For the water thing I would think that you would have to create a trigger that causes you to get hurt. You should be able to find that in there too. Just take the time to examine the info associated with each object you see. It helped me.

I believe the Major is looking for someone to script the map, not information on how to. Large maps for UO are a pain in the ass by yourself.

true lee
actually a bit of both of what you all said

all the kill thingies and injuries are simple to resolve with use of an trigger_hurt. create an brush the size of the area you want the player to be hurt / killed. then give it an trigger texture. make it an trigger_hurt by rightclicking - trigger - hurt. open the entity box bij pressing 'n' give it an key of 'dmg' and and value of '100 for an kill, and something like 2 for the electric fence. the value is the amount of damage per second (players have 100 points life, so 100 is kill, 2 hurts)

Its a good idea to create a hurt trigger at the bottom of your map that is just a little smaller than your x,y dimensions of your skybox.

This is a good way of murdering those pesky glitchers.

you mean like people falling off the edge of the map?

for example, yes. also for people who may find glitches in your map, and are walking on the bottem of your skybox, shooting people through your patches.

ok
well, i was set back about a year in my work as my computer got all screwy and to date i have had to do about 10 recoveries on it.
