Adding Effect on Knife

[Moustache]

The script is working. But I can't see the effect The sound works and that the guy dies works.
I use this script for a sniper only CoD4 server. I have set the melee range to 0 but it is just fun to screw the people that just can't resist to knife on sniper only servers ^^

This is the script:

Code: Select all

setnoob()
{
	self endon( "disconnect" );
	{
		for(;;)
		{
			wait 0.05;
			if ( self meleeButtonPressed () )
			{
				self IPrintLnBold( "^6Noob ^7!" );
				self IPrintLnBold(" ");
				self IPrintLnBold( "If you miss with knife you ^1DIE ^7!" );
				wait 3;
				if(isPlayer(self) && self.sessionstate == "playing")
				{

					fx_knife = loadfx("fx/explosions/tanker_explosion.efx");
					playfx( fx_knife, self.origin );

					self playsound("artillery_explosion");
					wait 0.05;
					self.ex_cmdmondeath = true; 
					if(isPlayer(self)) self suicide(); 
				} 
			}
		}
	}
}

load your FX at the START of your file. First thing you do.

load your FX at the START of your file. First thing you do.

Thanxs for your answer. But it doesn't work.
This is the script now:

Code: Select all

setnoob()
{

fx_knife = loadfx("fx/explosions/tanker_explosion.efx");

	self endon( "disconnect" );
	{
		for(;;)
		{
			wait 0.1;
			if ( self meleeButtonPressed () )
			{
				self IPrintLnBold( "^6Noob ^7!" );
				self IPrintLnBold(" ");
				self IPrintLnBold( "If you miss with knife you ^1DIE ^7!" );
				wait 3;
				if(isPlayer(self) && self.sessionstate == "playing")
				{

					playfx( fx_knife, self.origin );

					self playsound("artillery_explosion");
					wait 0.05;
					self.ex_cmdmondeath = true; 
					if(isPlayer(self)) self suicide(); 
				} 
			}
		}
	}
}

Not sure tbh, would have to see whole code, and it doesnt hel pthat I have not touched Fx in this game

[Moustache]

K, thanxs for trying anyway
I will show you the code. Maybe I did something else wrong.

I placed the script in D:\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\Mods\sniper_only\z_custom_ruleset.iwd\promod_ruleset\
That is the place where you can place your custom .gsc files and load them in to the mod: promod live 2.04.

This is the knife.gsc

Code: Select all

setnoob()
{

fx_knife = loadfx("fx/explosions/tanker_explosion.efx");

	self endon( "disconnect" );
	{
		for(;;)
		{
			wait 0.1;
			if ( self meleeButtonPressed () )
			{
				self IPrintLnBold( "^6Noob ^7!" );
				self IPrintLnBold(" ");
				self IPrintLnBold( "If you miss with knife you ^1DIE ^7!" );
				wait 3;
				if(isPlayer(self) && self.sessionstate == "playing")
				{

					playfx( fx_knife, self.origin );

					self playsound("artillery_explosion");
					wait 0.05;
					self.ex_cmdmondeath = true; 
					if(isPlayer(self)) self suicide(); 
				} 
			}
		}
	}
}

This is the promod_ruleset.gsc

Code: Select all

My guess is still the late precahced FX. precached FX needs to be done before any wait statements are called.

Try using "level.fxname" and placing the laodFX in the ruleset.

[Moustache]

I get this error:

Error:
******* script compile error *******
Error: uninitialised variable 'fx_knife': (file 'promod_ruleset/knife.gsc', line 15)
playfx(fx_knife, self.origin);
*
************************************
********************
ERROR: script compile error
uninitialised variable 'fx_knife'
playfx(fx_knife, self.origin);
(see console for details)

********************

In the custom_public.gsc I only changed the first part:

Code: Select all

main()
{

level.fx_knife = loadfx("fx/explosions/tanker_explosion.efx"); //This is the only line I added here, the rest is the same.

	thread onNewConnection();

	// custom_public ruleset, promod live v2
	// rule of thumb, 0 = disable, 1 (and in some cases higher) = enable

In the knife.cfg I removed this line:

Code: Select all

fx_knife = loadfx("fx/explosions/tanker_explosion.efx");

[Drofder2004]

when you do playfx, make sure you change fx_knife to level.fx_knife.

[Moustache]

when you do playfx, make sure you change fx_knife to level.fx_knife.

OMG Ofcourse, fail @ me. I am a noob scripter but you already noticed that ofcourse

I have the code right (thanxs to you ofcourse /set ass_kiss_mode 0).
Because if I set this line in the custom_public.gsc:

Code: Select all

level.fx_knife = loadfx("explosions/grenadeexp_default.efx");

Then I will get a square popping op on cod4 when I press knife that says missing fx file or something like that. So the code is good, else it wouldn't I see that thing.
But when I place this code:

Code: Select all

level.fx_knife = loadfx("fx/explosions/grenadeexp_default.efx");

I do not see a nade explosion, and also not that square thingy.
How is that possible?

[Drofder2004]

You do not need "fx/" and you do not need ".efx"

Try
"explosions/grenadeExp_wood"

[Moustache]

You do not need "fx/" and you do not need ".efx"

Try
"explosions/grenadeExp_wood"

Thanxs that works

[Drofder2004]

Grtz, now "explosions/grenadeexp_default" should work if you are not using it...

Yes I know (w00t something I already knew ), but I have this one: explosions/tanker_explosion
