How can I add radioactive zones to my mp map ? I already know, how to make minefields but I have no idea, how i can make radioactive areas.

You could do it by putting trigger_multiples down like the minefields, giving them a targetname of radzone, and using something like this in your map .gsc:

//put this in main() somewhere
thread radiation();



//then this outside it
radiation()
{
   rads = getentarray("radzone", "targetname");

   for(i = 0; i < rads.size; i++)
      rads[i] thread onEnter();
}

onEnter()
{
   while(1)
   {
      self waittill("trigger", player);
      player shellshock("default", 1);
      wait 0.5;
   }
}

This is working, but it doesen't look like radiation and it doesen't kill people, i want to make radioactive areas, which kill people and which do look like the ones in Singleplayer. But btw nice work and thanks for your help.

Ok. Try modding it to:

then this outside it
radiation()
{
   rads = getentarray("radzone", "targetname");

   for(i = 0; i < rads.size; i++)
      rads[i] thread onEnter();
}

onEnter()
{
   while(1)
   {
      self waittill("trigger", player);
      player shellshock("radiation_med", 3);

      if(isdefined(player.radcount))
         player.radcount++;
      else
         player.radcount = 0;

      if(player.radcount >= 120)
      {
         player suicide();
         player.radcount = 0;
      }

      wait 0.5;
   }
}

there, that means every time they go into one they'll be come more irradiated - if you want the level to go down when they aren't in one then I can do that, oh and add:

rawfile,shock/radiation_med.shock

to your zone source/missing assets file.

I think that I just found what we were looking for, there is a .gsc file in the raw/maps folder, which is named _radiation.gsc and next to it there is a file that is called _minefield.gsc. I think the _radiation.gsc file is the one used in singleplayer. But I do not know, how to use the _radiation.gsc in my map. I have already tried using it with key:targetname value:radiation. Do you have any idea, how I could use this .gsc file?

You'd have to mod it a lot to get it working in MP, it's really a lot simpler to try a little homemade script.

This is not working for me. I've done everything you've said but it is not working, if I enable developer it tells me, that radiation_med has not been precached. But I've already added rawfile,shock/radiation_med.shock to my csv.

try adding:

PrecacheShellShock("radiation_med");

inside the main() function of your map gsc.

It is working now. Thank you a lot. I own you one.
