Script for Stuka that flies into a tree and explodes (?)

[Lennard]

I wanna make a script, which flies a Stuka into a tree and explodes with a big boom and a lot of smoke after the crash, now I already got the Stuka flying into the tree, but how can i make a explosion in the tree at the time that it flies into it?

Here's my script for the Stuka ( I used the tutorial )

main()
{

level thread planes();
}

planes()
{
level.PlaneSpeed = 1.5;

stuka1 = getent ("stuka1","targetname");

temp = getent (stuka1.target,"targetname");
stuka1.dest = temp.origin;
stuka1.start = stuka1.origin;
stuka1 hide();

wait 2;

while (1)
{
stuka1 thread plane_flyby("stuka_flyby");
wait .15;

wait 60;
}
}


plane_flyby(sound)
{
// If you specified a sound to play then play it
if (isdefined (sound))
self playsound (sound);

wait 15;

self show();

self moveto(self.dest, level.PlaneSpeed, 0.1, 0.1);

wait level.PlaneSpeed;

self hide();
self.origin = self.start;
}

Now there is also a diff weird thing, I didnt fill in any sounds, but I do hear one? Not that it's not good, it's actually perfect, but I don't know how I did it.

Thx for the help

Your sound issue: I guess aren't really into scripting at the moment but in the plane flyby function you are using this piece of code

Code: Select all

self playsound (sound);

which basically plays the sound "stuka_flyby"

No you follow the code and see where the plane model is hidden again, you couldn't now spawn there and effect like explosion, smoke etc

Ah ok, that problem is solved than, but to explain it a little bit easier.

It's just like a mortar exploding on the ground.
Do you know how to make that?

Basically all I want is a script that causes an explosion after the impact of the plane, a little bit easier explained.

[waywaaaard]

try this

Code: Select all

main()
{

level thread planes();
}

planes()
{
level.PlaneSpeed = 1.5;

stuka1 = getent ("stuka1","targetname");

temp = getent (stuka1.target,"targetname");
stuka1.dest = temp.origin;
stuka1.start = stuka1.origin;
stuka1 hide();

wait 2;

while (1)
{
stuka1 thread plane_flyby("stuka_flyby");
wait .15;

wait 60;
}
}


plane_flyby(sound)
{
// If you specified a sound to play then play it
if (isdefined (sound))
self playsound (sound);

wait 15;

self show();
self moveto(self.dest, level.PlaneSpeed, 0.1, 0.1);
wait level.PlaneSpeed;

// added an explosion
boom = loadfx("fx/explosions/mp_bomb.efx");
playfx(boom, self.dest); 

self hide();
self.origin = self.start;
}

It doesn't do anything :O? The stuka flew into the tree but there wasn't even a sound of an explosion

[waywaaaard]

mh if you open the console the big one with shift+~ are there any error messages?

[Lennard]

ain't shift + ~ for Cod2 and Cod4?
This is Cod1, but w/e, I don't see any errors.

Its been a while, but should you not be preloading your FX at the beginning of the script?

[Lennard]

what do you mean ? how do I do that ?

[Nightmare]

Code: Select all

boom = loadfx("fx/explosions/mp_bomb.efx");
wait 0.05;
playfx(boom, self.dest); 

Add that wait so the server can go through a frame.

[Lennard]

It says Script Compile Error.

I copied & pasted the code you sent and pasted it at the end of the script, is that right?

main()
{

level thread planes();
}

planes()
{
level.PlaneSpeed = 3.3;

stuka1 = getent ("stuka1","targetname");

temp = getent (stuka1.target,"targetname");
stuka1.dest = temp.origin;
stuka1.start = stuka1.origin;

wait 2;

while (1)
{
stuka1 thread plane_flyby("stuka_flyby");
wait .15;

wait 35;
}
}


plane_flyby(sound)
{
// If you specified a sound to play then play it
if (isdefined (sound))
self playsound (sound);

wait 15;

self show();

self moveto(self.dest, level.PlaneSpeed, 0.1, 0.1);

wait level.PlaneSpeed;

wait 3;

self hide();
self.origin = self.start;
}

boom = loadfx("fx/explosions/mp_bomb.efx");
wait 0.05;
playfx(boom, self.dest);

[waywaaaard]

Code: Select all

main()
{

level thread planes();

planes()
{
level.PlaneSpeed = 1.5;

stuka1 = getent ("stuka1","targetname");

temp = getent (stuka1.target,"targetname");
stuka1.dest = temp.origin;
stuka1.start = stuka1.origin;
stuka1 hide();

wait 2;

while (1)
{
stuka1 thread plane_flyby("stuka_flyby");
wait .15;

wait 60;
}
}


plane_flyby(sound)
{
// If you specified a sound to play then play it
if (isdefined (sound))
self playsound (sound);

wait 15;

self show();
self moveto(self.dest, level.PlaneSpeed, 0.1, 0.1);
wait level.PlaneSpeed;

// added an explosion
boom = loadfx("fx/explosions/mp_bomb.efx");
wait 0.5;
playfx(boom, self.dest);

self hide();
self.origin = self.start;
}

nope, doesn't work.

i was wondering, doesn't the tree have the be a entity? it's now just a misc_model, coz its now just flying into the tree and nothing else happens..
