Invisible trigger_use?

[Pedsdude]

Is there a way to have a trigger_use, but so that the use icon doesn't appear when you are near it?

[Luke]

Without scripting, give the trigger these values:

key: cursorhint
value: HINT_NOACTIVATE

[Pedsdude]

Roger that, thanks.

Also, is it possible to make a trigger a script_brushmodel? Say for example I want a moving hurt trigger...

impossible to move triggers.

But it is possible to turn them on and off.

[Pedsdude]

And how would I do that?

Also, noob question, but how do I change the trigger_hurt so that it hurts less/more?

[Drofder2004]

What exavtly do you want to do? Turning on/off triggers may not be the solution.

(You may be able to use my invisible nonsolid wall method) If you dont want to let everyone in on the secret, pm/email me

[Pedsdude]

I would like to have a series of buttons. If you press one, it turns on a trigger_hurt in a particular area to hurt people. If you press another, it activates another trigger_hurt in another area. etc etc

Could it be similar to this? (thanks to KillerSam) http://www.modsonline.com/Tutorials-read-292.html

Invisible Non-Solid walls is not a secret (infact I posted it on Mods online as a fix for the elevator bug [where you get stuck if you are under the moving object]) The secret Im on about is what Peds wants to do (e.g have a secret switch )

Anyway, Peds.
cba to read that tutorial, the method is pretty simple.

Code: Select all

main()
{
	thread switch1();
	thread switch2();
}

switch1()
{
switch1 = getent("switch1","targetname");
trig_hurt1 = getent("trig_hurt1","targetname");
switch_status1 = 0;
trig_hurt1 thread maps\mp\_utility::tiggerOff();

while(1)
	{
	switch1 waittill ("trigger");
	if(switch_status1 == 0)
		{
		trig_hurt1 thread maps\mp\_utility::triggerOn();
		switch_status1 == 1;
		wait 0.5;
		}
	else if(switch_status1 == 1)
		{
		trig_hurt1 thread maps\mp\_utility::triggerOff();
		switch_status1 == 0;
		wait 0.5;
		}
	}
}

switch2()
{
switch2 = getent("switch2","targetname");
trig_hurt2 = getent("trig_hurt2","targetname");
switch_status2 = 0;
trig_hurt2 thread maps\mp\_utility::tiggerOff();

while(1)
	{
	switch2 waittill ("trigger");
	if(switch_status2 == 0)
		{
		trig_hurt2 thread maps\mp\_utility::triggerOn();
		switch_status2 == 1;
		wait 0.5;
		}
	else if(switch_status2 == 1)
		{
		trig_hurt2 thread maps\mp\_utility::triggerOff();
		switch_status2 == 0;
		wait 0.5;
		}
	}
}

Try that out.
Switch 1&2 are the switch to turn things on and off.
trig_hurt1&2 are the trigger_hurts.

If you want to add more switches just simply copy and paste and chang ethe numbers
Hopefully that works.

[Pedsdude]

Thank you.

Is it meant to be 'tigger' as supposed to 'trigger' in the script?

maps\mp\_utility::tiggerOff();

[Pedsdude]

Code: Select all

main()
{
   thread switch_spawn();
   thread switch_underground();
}

switch_spawn()
{
switch_spawn = getent("switch_spawn","targetname");
trig_hurt_spawn = getent("trig_hurt_spawn","targetname");
switch_status1 = 0;
trig_hurt_spawn thread maps\mp\_utility::triggerOff();

while(1)
   {
   switch_spawn waittill ("trigger");
   if(switch_status1 == 0)
      {
      trig_hurt_spawn thread maps\mp\_utility::triggerOn();
      switch_status1 == 1;
      wait 0.5;
      }
   else if(switch_status1 == 1)
      {
      trig_hurt_spawn thread maps\mp\_utility::triggerOff();
      switch_status1 == 0;
      wait 0.5;
      }
   }
}

switch_underground()
{
switch_underground = getent("switch_underground","targetname");
trig_hurt_underground = getent("trig_hurt_underground","targetname");
switch_status2 = 0;
trig_hurt_underground thread maps\mp\_utility::triggerOff();

while(1)
   {
   switch_underground waittill ("trigger");
   if(switch_status2 == 0)
      {
      trig_hurt_underground thread maps\mp\_utility::triggerOn();
      switch_status2 == 1;
      wait 0.5;
      }
   else if(switch_status2 == 1)
      {
      trig_hurt_underground thread maps\mp\_utility::triggerOff();
      switch_status2 == 0;
      wait 0.5;
      }
   }
}

Script compile error, bad syntax

Arg, go on msn m8 so we can sort this out

[Luke]

It will make it easier to find if you run it in developer mode

Code: Select all

/developer 1

before you load the map then when you get the error it will tell you which line number of the script the errors on.

[Pedsdude]

(the .gsc file for the code drofder gave me I named 'zhurt.gsc')

[Pedsdude]

grrr i HATE mapping.

Now my bloody map won't load in cod - it just causes the game to have a serious error and close

[Drofder2004]

Sorry my bad.
Try this

Code: Select all

main()
{
   thread switch_spawn();
   thread switch_underground();
}

switch_spawn()
{
switch_spawn = getent("switch_spawn","targetname");
trig_hurt_spawn = getent("trig_hurt_spawn","targetname");
switch_status1 = 0;
trig_hurt_spawn thread maps\mp\_utility::triggerOff();

while(1)
   {
   switch_spawn waittill ("trigger");
   if(switch_status1 == 0)
      {
      trig_hurt_spawn thread maps\mp\_utility::triggerOn();
      switch_status1 = 1;
      wait 0.5;
      }
   else if(switch_status1 == 1)
      {
      trig_hurt_spawn thread maps\mp\_utility::triggerOff();
      switch_status1 = 0;
      wait 0.5;
      }
   }
}

switch_underground()
{
switch_underground = getent("switch_underground","targetname");
trig_hurt_underground = getent("trig_hurt_underground","targetname");
switch_status2 = 0;
trig_hurt_underground thread maps\mp\_utility::triggerOff();

while(1)
   {
   switch_underground waittill ("trigger");
   if(switch_status2 == 0)
      {
      trig_hurt_underground thread maps\mp\_utility::triggerOn();
      switch_status2 = 1;
      wait 0.5;
      }
   else if(switch_status2 == 1)
      {
      trig_hurt_underground thread maps\mp\_utility::triggerOff();
      switch_status2 = 0;
      wait 0.5;
      }
   }
}
