Some Lua/FF mapping questions

Hi,

i have some questions about lua:

- im trying to make a trigger_ff_script that gives u ammo/armor/etc on touch
i tried playing with aardvarks lua file, but cant get it to work.

- i can't seem to get FF spawns to face the way i want them to face to, is this a bug or am i doing something wrong? i tried manually and pointing to a entity, but it always turn to the right side.

Spawns are bugged right now, the next patch will probably fix it, so dont worry about it now.

For the lua file, I can't think of any reason why copying the aardvark stuff directly into your map wouldnt work, so make sure you're doing everything correctly, its probably just a little thing you missed out.

so if i turn the spawns the correct way now, then they will fix themself in the next patch?

what name do i have to give to the trigger?

Code:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-- custom aardvark pack

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

aardvarkpack = genericbackpack:new({

        health = 20,

        armor = 20,

        grenades = 400,

        bullets = 400,

        nails = 400,

        shells = 400,

        rockets = 400,

        cells = 400,

        respawntime = 6,

        model = "models/items/backpack/backpack.mdl",

        materializesound = "Item.Materialize",

        touchsound = "Backpack.Touch",

        botgoaltype = Bot.kBackPack_Ammo

})



function aardvarkpack:dropatspawn() return false end



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-- backpack entity setup (modified for aardvarkpack)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

function build_backpacks(tf)

        return healthkit:new({touchflags = tf}),

                   armorkit:new({touchflags = tf}),

                   ammobackpack:new({touchflags = tf}),

                   bigpack:new({touchflags = tf}),

                   grenadebackpack:new({touchflags = tf}),

                   aardvarkpack:new({touchflags = tf})

end



blue_healthkit, blue_armorkit, blue_ammobackpack, blue_bigpack, blue_grenadebackpack, blue_aardvarkpack = build_backpacks({AllowFlags.kOnlyPlayers,AllowFlags.kBlue})

red_healthkit, red_armorkit, red_ammobackpack, red_bigpack ,red_grenadebackpack, red_aardvarkpack = build_backpacks({AllowFlags.kOnlyPlayers,AllowFlags.kRed})

yellow_healthkit, yellow_armorkit, yellow_ammobackpack, yellow_bigpack, yellow_grenadebackpack, yellow_aardvarkpack = build_backpacks({AllowFlags.kOnlyPlayers,AllowFlags.kYellow})

green_healthkit, green_armorkit, green_ammobackpack, green_bigpack, green_grenadebackpack, green_aardvarkpack = build_backpacks({AllowFlags.kOnlyPlayers,AllowFlags.kGreen})



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-- aardvark resupply (bagless)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

aardvarkresup = trigger_ff_script:new({ team = Team.kUnassigned })



function aardvarkresup:ontouch( touch_entity )

        if IsPlayer( touch_entity ) then

                local player = CastToPlayer( touch_entity )

                if player:GetTeamId() == self.team then

                        player:AddHealth( 400 )

                        player:AddArmor( 400 )

                        player:AddAmmo( Ammo.kNails, 400 )

                        player:AddAmmo( Ammo.kShells, 400 )

                        player:AddAmmo( Ammo.kRockets, 400 )

                        player:AddAmmo( Ammo.kCells, 400 )

                end

        end

end



blue_aardvarkresup = aardvarkresup:new({ team = Team.kBlue })

red_aardvarkresup = aardvarkresup:new({ team = Team.kRed })

im not used to coding stuff D:

Yes, point them like you want them, they will automatically work next patch, ignore it for now. :)

You want to name your trigger_ff_script's blue_aardvarkresup and red_aardvarkresup (according to the last two lines)

got it to work,

now i need a trigger hurt effect for force fields at spawns,

now aardvark has those but ofcourse i cant get em to work.

i dont have a shutdown style force field, just standard resup once, what do i need to keep and how do i get it to work?

Code:

-- aardvark security

red_aardvarksec = trigger_ff_script:new()

blue_aardvarksec = trigger_ff_script:new()

bluesecstatus = 1

redsecstatus = 1



function red_aardvarksec:ontouch( touch_entity )

        if IsPlayer( touch_entity ) then

                local player = CastToPlayer( touch_entity )

                if player:GetTeamId() == Team.kBlue then

                        if redsecstatus == 1 then

                                redsecstatus = 0

                                AddSchedule("aardvarksecup10red",50,aardvarksecup10red)

                                SpeakAll( "SD_REDDOWN" )

                        end

                end

end



function blue_aardvarksec:ontouch( touch_entity )

        if IsPlayer( touch_entity ) then

        redsecstatus = 1

        CloseDoor("red_aardvarkdoorhack")

-- aardvark lasers and respawn shields

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

KILL_KILL_KILL = trigger_ff_script:new({ team = Team.kUnassigned })

lasers_KILL_KILL_KILL = trigger_ff_script:new({ team = Team.kUnassigned })



function KILL_KILL_KILL:allowed( activator )

        local player = CastToPlayer( activator )

        if player then

                if player:GetTeamId() == self.team then

                        return EVENT_ALLOWED

                end

        end

        return EVENT_DISALLOWED

end



function lasers_KILL_KILL_KILL:allowed( activator )

        local player = CastToPlayer( activator )

        if player then

                if player:GetTeamId() == self.team then

                        if self.team == Team.kBlue then

                                if redsecstatus == 1 then

                                        return EVENT_ALLOWED

                                end

                        end

                        if self.team == Team.kRed then

                                if bluesecstatus == 1 then

                                        return EVENT_ALLOWED

                                end

                        end

                end

        end

        return EVENT_DISALLOWED

end



blue_slayer = KILL_KILL_KILL:new({ team = Team.kBlue })

red_slayer = KILL_KILL_KILL:new({ team = Team.kRed })

sec_blue_slayer = lasers_KILL_KILL_KILL:new({ team = Team.kBlue })

sec_red_slayer = lasers_KILL_KILL_KILL:new({ team = Team.kRed })

only the kill kill kill will do:

Code:

KILL_KILL_KILL = trigger_ff_script:new({ team = Team.kUnassigned })

function KILL_KILL_KILL:allowed( activator )

        local player = CastToPlayer( activator )

        if player then

                if player:GetTeamId() == self.team then

                        return EVENT_ALLOWED

                end

        end

        return EVENT_DISALLOWED

end

blue_slayer = KILL_KILL_KILL:new({ team = Team.kBlue })

red_slayer = KILL_KILL_KILL:new({ team = Team.kRed })

so name the trigger blue_slayer and red_slayer. (i guess it has to be trigger_hurt)

great that worked thx
