Hey guys,

I'm trying to use a trigger_multiple to not allow players to go prone, while touching trigger. This is for a MP map.

I just can't figure out the right syntax here. Anyone have any ideas on how to make this work?

This is what I have right now that returns with an error:

unknown function
players[j] AllowProne( false );



Does this mean MP doesn't allow this function to be carried out?
Because I have tried many different instances of allowprone( false ); with the same error of unknown function. This only an SP thing?

main()
{
	thread no_prone();

}
no_prone()
{
	noprone = getentarray("prone","targetname");
	for(i = 0 ; i < noprone.size; i++)
	{
		noprone[i] thread no_prone_player();
	}
}

no_prone_player()
{
	players = get_players();
	for( j = 0 ; j < players.size; j++ )
	{
		players[j] AllowProne( false );	
	}

	while(1)
	{
		self waittill("trigger");
		iprintlnbold("touching triggers");

	}
}

What am I missing? Anyone have any ideas?

allowprone() is SP only. the only way to prevent players from proning is a dirty menu-workaround

Just as I suspected, now that is a bummer.

Thanks for the info.

I don't think you could force them to stand back up... or prevent them from going prone... unless you do it a dirty way...

But you could just kill them... and in the future they would know not to go prone there..

try replacing your no_prone_player thread with this..

no_prone_player()
{
	players = get_players();
	while(1)
	{
		self waittill("trigger");
		for( j = 0 ; j < players.size; j++ )
		{
			if (players[j] GetStance() == "prone" && players[j] istouching(self))
			{
				players[j] suicide();
				players[j] iprintlnbold("Do not go prone here");
			}	<br />
<br />
		}<br />
<br />
	}<br />
<br />
}

Well, INSANE,

I have a map that has water all over the map, the whole thing is a trigger. Using the Drown script everyone was using, players could drown in the water, but because the spawn points were in the "Above trigger" not the actual "drown trigger" the servers would crash with script errors. My whole point was to try to get players to not go underwater. So I had to get rid of that script in this map because of the spawn points.

So what I wanted to attempt to do was to make a trigger where only the water was, or the height of the water. Allow players to not be able to go prone while they were in the trigger. Otherwise players hide under the water and can pretty much sit under there and do what they please. You can't shoot out of the water, and bullets can't penetrate the water, so you can't get hit, underwater.

Was trying to deter from using this glitch.

I will keep the snippet though in case more testing is needed. A final version of the map has already been released. I might do some testing with this anyways. Thanks for your help.

Ohhhhh.. I see now

Sounds cool. Good luck on your quest

May I do the honors, and point you in the direction of the Drowning in Water tutorial. It's COD 2 but it still works for COD 4.

Hope this helps

Edit: oops, just saw that you've already used that tute. Shame realy, its'a a good tute. I've never had a problem or known of a problem with the code or crashing etc.

The script works fine, you just can't have players spawn in the Drown trigger, which is the lower trigger. It causes Script errors on the server side. I use the drown script in two other of our maps, and no problems there, because players are Not spawning in the drown trigger.

Spawn in Drown Trigger = Server Crashes.

Just a thought. What if you were to spawn on a high platform., into a trigger that was a teleport, down to the ground. Would that work?

As I said, just a thought.

is there any error message or something when server crashes? (make sure you run in dev mode, devmap / developer 1 / developer_script 1 (optional)
