Title: Alternate endings
Post by: pazuzu on 10 Dec 2004, 06:28:28

Hi, I'm making a map with 6 objectives. The 1rst obj is to cature Taliban leader & the 5th is to rescue hostage.

I have a problem with how to make the alternative endings where the leader or hostage die or both.

Leader has to be injured to be "1" objstatus "done"; obj=true

If he dies then "1" objstatus "failed"; obj=false

The same with the hostage. She's either rescued or dies

So my qestion is how do I write it out in my End1 trigger to end game?

I got 6 obj & 1rst & 5th are not completed....

Right now I have: obj1 AND obj2 AND obj3 AND obj4 AND obj5 AND obj6 in the condition field for End1 trigger.

What do I put for condition for these alternate endings?

Thanks.

"1" objStatus "Failed"; "2" objStatus "Done"

The above is the combo you use for alt. endings.

just add in trig with whatever combination you have so 1 & 2 & 3 "Done" and 4 & 5 "Failed"

How would you write that out in the condition field for end trigger?

My attempts failed.

Thanks.

can you directly check to see if an objective is "done", "failed" etc?
the way i've done it is using global variables with booleans
Ex: when an objective is done you make a global variable true:
"1" objstatus "done";Obj1 = true
then you do that for each, and you can check for any possible variation:
in the trigger condition:
obj1 && obj2 && obj3 && obj4 && !(obj5) && !(obj6)
! means the opposite, or not. so if you have !(obj5) it means not obj5, or that it is false/null

Ok that makes sense....

I usually write it as: obj1 AND obj2 AND etc

You have && instead.....I'm assuming its the same thing?


Thanks again.

yes, exactly
just like:
? = if
|| = or
