Setting and getting entity keys and values

[Tasijjj 1]

Hi guys.

It's maybe a simple question.. I'm not very familiar with a syntax and everything so I would appreciate a quick help.

Here are the problems:
Can I set a random pair of key and value to a trigger_multiple in Radiant? (example: key="something", value=0)
How do I get that value in the script to use it in the logical statements? (ex.: if (something==0))
How do I change the value of the key "something" in the script? (ex.: key="something", value=1)

1) I suppose you must first use

thing=getEnt(value, key); // to get the entity

 

2) and than

 

x = thing.something getValue(); // I am not sure how this syntax must look like...

3) and finally

 

thing.something setValue(1); // sorry if those two statement seem funny, but I would really like to show you what I mean

 

Thanks for the answer.

see raw\radiant\keys.txt :dave:

I do not have this file.

Not even a radiant folder (I have installed modtools).

I should have mentioned that I'm modding CoD2.

Everything that I found for CoD5 or CoD4 worked fine even with CoD2 till now so I suppose this is not a problem.

For the next time please mark the topic with [cod2] tag or something so we know that in future. And again, if it's cod2 instead of "raw" search for that file in one of .iwds

 

 

edit: it's in iw_07.iwd

Ok. Sorry for that.

Thanks for the answer. It helped.

Can someone also explain the waittill() function, please.

What does the arguments mean.

Example: waittill("trigger", other)

[Sentrex 785]

It's an event, so in the case 

entity waittill("trigger", other)

when the entity is triggered it will then continue with the code, it's kind of like pausing the script until something happens.

 

This may help?? http://codscript.net/topic/434-triggers/?hl=waittill

Thank you. It helps.

Also.. another thing. Is it possible to make an usable Flak88 turret in CoD2 (like mg42)?
 

If it is possible to use it in the singleplayer (in last mission, when you have to destroy a tiger by using Flak88), than maybe you can import the same code to use it in a multiplayer map???

you know it's hardcoded in engine, right? Although you can split the model in two, and code your own turret in gsc.

What do you mean by splitting the model in two?... are there any tutorials on making turrets?

You cannot animate models in MP, instead either split the flak88 cannon into two parts, the barrel (which you'd likely want to rotate), and the rest of it which you wont.

 

 

To code a turret you'd most likely want to rotate it in targeted location and then simply spawn the bomb shell at the end of barrel and make it move& catch colision :dave:

Ok. For the first part I don't really see any problems.. 

But for the second I have some specific questions and I would really appreciate a tutorial if such exists.

Or even better, if the code already exists I would be the most happy copying it, 'cause it would save me a lot of time.
