Title: take flag won't show
Post by: DarkCell on 06 Nov 2003, 20:27:24

Hey people! :)

I made a Capture and Hold the flag map it means:
West and East have to capture flags and Hold them as long as they can...but okay. now the problem  :o

Everytime East or West wanna take a Flag the command "TAKE FLAG" wil be showed.
But when East wanna take the Flag West captures no Command shows up  ???
So when East captured a flag or West then the opposite Team cant take it back so the game can never be won :(

HERE IS HOW MY CaptureFlag.sqs script looks like:

_flag = _this select 0
_player = flagOwner _flag
?(_flag == Flag1): _msg = "Flag 1"
?(_flag == Flag2): _msg = "Flag 2"

_player addscore 5

goto format ["%1", side _player]
goto "end"

#West
WestFlag = WestFlag + [_flag]
EastFlag = EastFlag - [_flag]
PublicVariable "WestFlag"
PublicVariable "EastFlag"
~0.5
(flagOwner _flag) setflagowner _flag
_flag setflagowner _flag
~0.5
_flag setflagtexture "usa_vlajka.pac"
_flag setflagside West
?(_flag == Flag1): "mFlag1" setMarkerColor "ColorBLUE"
?(_flag == Flag2): "mFlag2" setMarkerColor "ColorBLUE"
titletext [format["NATO forces capture %1", _msg], "PLAIN DOWN"]
goto "end"

#East
EastFlag = EastFlag + [_flag]
WestFlag = WestFlag - [_flag]
PublicVariable "WestFlag"
PublicVariable "EastFlag"
~0.5
(flagOwner _flag) setflagowner _flag
_flag setflagowner _flag
~0.5
_flag setflagtexture "rus_vlajka.pac"
_flag setflagside East
?(_flag == Flag1): "mFlag1" setMarkerColor "ColorRED"
?(_flag == Flag2): "mFlag2" setMarkerColor "ColorRED"
titletext [format["Russian forces capture %1", _msg], "PLAIN DOWN"]
goto "end"

#end
[_flag, side _player] exec "control.sqs"
Exit

You are doing publicVariable on a variable that is an array?  You can't do that.

WestScore = WestScore + 1
WestArray = WestArray + [_flag]
EastArray = EastArray - [_flag]
PublicVariable "WestScore"
#Westclient

~0.2
_flag setflagtexture "usa_vlajka.pac"
_flag setflagside WEST
goto "end"

#East

_flag =_this select 0 is the key,  

this means that what actually executes the script is the flag, probably in its init field or in the init.sqs

eg
[Flag1] exec "cnh.sqs"

to add a flag create a new pole and call it flag4, flag5 etc etc

and then in the init.sqs add an additional line

[Flag4] exec "cnh.sqs"
[Flag5] exec "cnh.sqs"

where cnh.sqs is the name of the script
