Because of my other problem couldnt get fixed im trying to get a workaround working.

What i want to do is the following: Add an objective that points to a trigger damage to complete the objective. I used the following code:

	mggardentrigger = getent ("mggardentrigger","targetname");

mggardentrigger waittill("trigger");

		///Add Objective: Kill MG Gunner///

		mgobjectivetrig = getent ("mgobjectivetrig","targetname");

		objective_add(2, "active", &"SPMAP_OBJ2",getent("mgobjectivetrig","mgobjectivetrig").origin);

		objective_current(2);
		
		iprintlnbold (&"SPMAP_OBJ2"); 
		
		//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

But when i pass the normal trigger to active this script, i get an error message saying:

Undefined is not an field object: objective_add(2, "active", &"SPMAP_OBJ2",getent("mgobjectivetrig","mgobjectivetrig").origin);

The funny thing is im sure the trigger is in the map, but the error says something different.

Anyone can tackle this one?

Thanks again

objective_add(2, "active", &"SPMAP_OBJ2", mgobjectivetrig.origin);

Should do it.

Nope not working. Also i saw i made a typo in my first post, needs to be: objective_add(2, "active", &"SPMAP_OBJ2",getent("mgobjectivetrig","targetname").origin);

Script runs but no golden star so no objective, also nothing when i finish the objective the script doenst run further.

Try putting iPrintLnBolds in between every line in your script there to narrow it down where the script is getting a progression break at.

If only IW released their scriptDebugger.

EDIT: Looking at your script one more time, did you make sure your trigger has the []AI_AXIS checked in the entity window that way it knows to be triggered by an Axis AI?

Oke sparks, tested it with the lines. Thats a good tip, need to use that in my own workflow.

Then about that []AI_AXIS, it doenst need to be triggered by an Axis, but by a grenade.

Oke this is the code i used:

mgobjective()
{
	iprintln ("1");
	
	mgobjectivetrig = getent ("mgobjectivetrig","targetname");	
	
	iprintln ("2");

	objective_add(2, "active", &"SPMAP_OBJ2",getent("mgobjectivetrig","targetname").origin);
	
	iprintln ("3");
		
	objective_current(2);
	
	iprintln ("4");
		
	iprintlnbold (&"SPMAP_OBJ2"); 
	
	iprintln ("5");
		
	mgobjectivetrig waittill("trigger");
	
	iprintln ("6");
	
	objective_state(2, "done");
	
	iprintln ("7");
	
	mgobjectivetrig delete();
	
	iprintln ("8");
	
	objective_current(1);
	
	iprintln ("9");
	
	thread centersquad();
}

The lines get prompt to number 5, and then nothing happens.

Any idea's?

since you've already defined your trigger like this:

mgobjectivetrig = getent ("mgobjectivetrig","targetname");

you shouldn't be defining it in your objective again:

objective_add(2, "active", &"SPMAP_OBJ2",getent("mgobjectivetrig","targetname").origin);

instead, try it like this:

objective_add( 2, "active", &"SPMAP_OBJ2", mgobjectivetrig.origin );

Babycop, doenst work for me. Also old man with gun pointed that out, but didnt work. Also calling it up like "my way" works because i already have it that way for another object and that works.

You can try replacing the waittill ( "trigger" ) line with this if there's an actual guy on the MG:

aiGuy thread magic_bullet_shield();

while( 1 )
{
	aiGuy  waittill ( "damage", damage, attacker, direction_vec, point, type )

	if( ( attacker == level.player ) && ( type == "MOD_EXPLOSIVE" ) )
	{
		aiGuy thread stop_magic_bullet_shield();
		aiGuy delete();
		break;
	}	
	wait ( 0. 2 );
}

Going to try that also Sparks. I also had a little chat with babycop and he tested my map on his machine and it just worked. He ran a clean install so i deleted all the custom content, but no succes. Next thing im going to try is a clean install and stay on 1.0 and install the mod tools, and see if that helps.

Will report back soon.

Reinstalled CoD and tried it again. Good thing is, is that objective star shows up. But still it wont work the way it needs to work.

I first tried my own way again:

mgobjective()
{
	iprintln ("1");
	
	mgsoldier = getent ("mgsoldier","targetname");
	
	iprintln ("2");

	objective_add(2, "active", &"SPMAP_OBJ2",mgsoldier.origin);
	
	iprintln ("3");
		
	objective_current(2);
	
	iprintln ("4");
		
	iprintlnbold (&"SPMAP_OBJ2"); 
	
	iprintln ("5");

        mgsoldier waittill("death");
	
	iprintln ("6");
	
	objective_state(2, "done");
	
	iprintln ("7");
	
	objective_current(1);
	
	iprintln ("8");
	
	thread centersquad();
}

But no succes. Got the problem explained above. Then i tried your code:

mgobjective()
{
	iprintln ("1");	
	mgsoldier = getent ("mgsoldier","targetname");
	
	iprintln ("2");

	objective_add(2, "active", &"SPMAP_OBJ2",mgsoldier.origin);
	
	iprintln ("3");
		
	objective_current(2);
	
	iprintln ("4");
		
	iprintlnbold (&"SPMAP_OBJ2"); 
	
	iprintln ("5");

	mgsoldier thread magic_bullet_shield();

	while( 1 )
	{
		mgsoldier  waittill ( "damage", damage, attacker, direction_vec, point, type );

		if( ( attacker == level.player ) && ( type == "MOD_EXPLOSIVE" ) )
		{
			mgsoldier thread stop_magic_bullet_shield();
			mgsoldier delete();
			break;
		}	
		wait ( 0.2 );
	}
	
	iprintln ("6");
	
	objective_state(2, "done");
	
	iprintln ("7");
	
	objective_current(1);
	
	iprintln ("8");
	
	thread centersquad();
}

And that also didnt work. In both problems it only prompts till 5 again, so the waittill is still beeing the problem. Any more idea's?
