Placing endmap triggers with plugin

[jeffskye 8]

Does someone know how to create a trigger_multiple with a script?

 

I'm gona try to fix maps that dont have a "endmap_trig" trigger.

But i can't find any scripts with something like spawn("trigger_multiple", (0,0,0 ), 0, 0, 0 ); in it.

and if you know do you also know how to give it a targetname? ( endmap_trig )

 

Would be very nice if someone of you could help me.

I know how to make them in radiant. I map and script for fun.

Right now im searching for something to script because it's fun to script. I love making deathrun plugins.

 

I'm trying to make an plugin you can use to fix maps that don't have an endmap trigger.

but i can't find anything about spawning an trigger_multiple through a script only trigger_radius but im not sure if that would work to.

 

I'm also looking for a way to give the spawned trigger a targetname if someone knows how that also would be really helpfull.

this is his first thread asking for help while you have already made 4 threads asking for help :dumb:

 

on topic:

 

the easiest way to do the endmap thingy is to create a trigger_radius (only type of trigger that can be spawned via script) and use isTouching() to see when a player hits the trigger. a more complicated way to do it would be checking if the player is inside a certain x,y,z range 

 

EDIT: use waittill( "trigger", player) with trigger_radius instead of isTouching() :dumb:

Thanks a lot!

 

So something like this would work?

init( modVersion )
{
	trig = spawn("trigger_radius", (0,0,0 ), 0, 0, 0 );
	
	while(true) //or for(;;)
	{
		trig waittill( "trigger", player )
		player thread braxi\_mod::endTimer();
	}
}

This is just an short example!

Yes.

 

This the syntax btw, Spawn( <classname>, <origin>, <flags>, <radius>, <height> )

yes, that would work. use while(1) instead of while(true) :sir:

 

also, to make the triggers only appear in the specific map, get the mapname dvar and use a switch - case thingy like this:

switch( mapname )
{
case "mp_map_a":
	// spawn trigger of this map
	break;
 
case "mp_map_b":
	// spawn trigger of this map
	break;
 
default:
	// do something when the map is none of the above
	break;
}

Thanks Bear!

You helped a lot.

I now made this function:

spawnTheTrigger( x, y, z, radius, height )
{
	trig = spawn("trigger_radius", (x ,y ,z ), 0, radius, height );
}

Do you know if its possible to make a square from the trigger?

So when you give 4 points that will be the corners of the trigger?

Next time read what he says please before giving false information, look below, i've highlighted the important parts.

You cannot make a square through script on CoD4, this is why trigger_radius will only work as its not a square it's a cylinder sphere.

 

If you look in the braxi\_maps.gsc you can find loads of examples of end_map triggers which you can also add too.

trigger_radius is a cylinder afaik? :o

swear it was a sphere shape because when ever i've made a collision trigger, i always go down it like it's a sphere. oh well i guess i'm just a nub :>

You've been mapping for about 2 years and you still don't know the basics of scripting, making posts asking for help on almost everything, it makes us all sit back and laugh at you.

Img - In Radiant you cannot make it larger by just moving the mouse like the other triggers, but there are 2 Keys/values, that let's you change these settings (height/radius)  :)

Found an new shorter way of adding the triggers in the _maps.gsc
