Title: Trip Wire Script
Post by: XXXVader on 23 May 2003, 02:23:29

Im working on a Traps menu for my mod that gives the player several new traps to use all through scripts.  I managed to get proximity and ap mines to work beautifully however im having trouble with the Trip Wire.

When a player crosses the trip wire a flare is suppose to shoot up without using the camcreate.  However when i use createvehicle to spawn the flare the model of the canister spawns and not the lights and effect.  Please help.

Why don't you want to use camcreate - it would work fine.     You could maybe use setVelocity to it to make it go up into the air.

;;Autoflare system for nightime illumination
;;requires a gamelogic as a marker
#START
?(Time>=Param1):exit
flare1="flaregreen" camcreate [getpos flarelogic1 select 0,getpos flarelogic1 select 1,1]
;;You can change these numbers. [0,0,0] will keep flare at spawn point until it goes out. Negative numbers reverse the direction
#LOOP
flare1 setvelocity [2,14,18]
?(flare1 distance flarelogic1) >100:goto "SLOWDOWN"
~0.1
goto "LOOP"
;;After getting X meters away from logic, flare goes to this number for slowing effect.
#SLOWDOWN
flare1 setvelocity [3,14,18]
;; Flare only burns for 15 seconds or so, so dont take it to high or far.
#end
exit

create a gamelogic named flarelogic1 where you want the flare to fire

Thanks for the script, but the problem is last time i used camcreate in multiplayer it didnt show on all the computers just on the person whos executing it.
Has this been fixed?

I think I read somewhere that you can use createvehicle instead of camcreate, and that was supposed to work in MP...

cheers...

Just make a 20 X 1 rectangular trigger to represent the wire then when activated by the player, a game logic blows up under him
(just a thought)
