I want to make an objective for my map that says "clear out this floor" but i've checked many tutorials and dont know how to do. What shall i do?

Also, whn i lose the game, the game crashes. I've checked tutorials for that and i have maps_load::main in my gsc (its something like that)

So what to do? Also how do i make an objective where it says for example "Take out the incomming armor [3 remaining]

?

1. The easiest way is putting there SPAWNER actors and spawn them in certain moment, or make them NONSPAWERS, if that building will not be visited anytime before that objective.

Version with SPAWNERS: make as many germans as you want, and give them, to every of them, following key/value: "script_noteworthy" "floor_german_spawn" ; and tick the "SPAWNER" checkbox. Connect them ( by "target">"targetname" ) to the nodes you want them to move after they'll spawn. Don't forget about pathnodes! Now, code:

main()
{
	\\ ...
	obj1();
}

obj1()
{
	objective_add(1,"active","Clear first floor!", < ORIGIN OF OBJECTIVE > );
	floor_spawners = getentarray("floor_german_spawn","script_noteworthy");
	floor_spawned = [];
	for(i=0;i < floor_spawners.size;i++)
		floor_spawned[floor_spawned.size] = floor_spawners[i] dospawn();
	for(i=0;i < floor_spawned.size;i++)
		while(IsAlive(floor_spawned[i]))
			wait(0.1);
	objective_state(1,"done");
}

If you want make actors NONSPAWNERS, tick OFF SPAWNER checkbox. Then, your script would change following:

main()
{
	\\ ...
	obj1();
}

obj1()
{
	objective_add(1,"current","Clear first floor!",(100,100,100));
	floor_germans = getentarray("floor_german_spawn","script_noteworthy");
	
	for(i=0;i < floor_germans.size;i++)
		while(IsAlive(floor_spawned[i]))
			wait(0.1);
	objective_state(1,"done");
}

==========================================

2. First of all, what do you mean by "crash"? Try to run your map in "developer" mode and post here your error log here ( from console ). Also, you may post here your *.gsc script as well.

==========================================

3. You have to create ( if you didn't already ) a new localizedstrings folder ( in your CoD2/main directory ) and create there "yourmapname.str" file. Put there following text:

REFERENCE           TAKEOUT_ARMOR
LANG_ENGLISH        "Take out incoming armor! [&&1 remaining]"

ENDMARKER

Now - script part. Here is simple example of creating those objectives:

objective_add(1,"active");
objective_string(1,&"YOURMAPNAME_TAKEOUT_ARMOR", < NUMBER >);

... and thats all. Replace < NUMBER > with value you want have in your objective. When you will want to change it, just rewrite objective_string line, but with different < NUMBER > value.

I hope it will help ya. If not - go ahead and all questions - ask here

Regards, Tomalla

thread obj2();
}

obj2()
{
	objective_add(2,"active","KORSHAMNEN_OBJ_2", < 10 >);


	floor_spawners = getentarray("floor_german_spawn","script_noteworthy");
	floor_spawned = [];
	for(i=0;i < floor_spawners.size;i++)
		floor_spawned[floor_spawned.size] = floor_spawners[i] dospawn();
	for(i=0;i < floor_spawned.size;i++)
		while(IsAlive(floor_spawned[i]))
			wait(0.1);
	objective_state(2,"done");
}

There IS soemthing wrong with this code because i get the bad syntax error, but what?

Lol.

I see ... change "< 10 >" to "10" ( without quotes of course ) ... These "<" were only to show you up, what I was talking about

Thank you very much, I've been searching as hell for this.

BUT, The string doesn't show up, and here is my script:

obj2()
{
	objective_add(2,"active", KORSHAMNEN_OBJ_2", 18 );
	floor_spawners = getentarray("floor_german_spawn","script_noteworthy");
	floor_spawned = [];
	for(i=0;i < floor_spawners.size;i++)
		floor_spawned[floor_spawned.size] = floor_spawners[i] dospawn();
	for(i=0;i < floor_spawned.size;i++)
		while(IsAlive(floor_spawned[i]))
			wait(0.1);
	objective_state(2,"done");
}

If you want to help me again, I wold be very happy...

What do you mean by "doesn't show up"? There is completely no objective? Or there is objective, but with no text? Or ... there IS objective with text "KORSHAMNEN_OBJ_2" instead of this in your localizedstrings?

Describe your problem. Then I'll try to help ya. Oh, and you can post your localizedstrings file as well.
