Post by fenixforeva Tue Jan 26, 2010 7:13 pm

Anyone know how to create a loop script ? Im trying to keep a wormhole open by having it spawn continuosly for a certain ammount of time, it doenst last for more then the duration of the scripts .

This is what ive come up with, its not working :

A timer in another script countsdown to enable this, so there is a 3rd script.

*** IF ***
Timer 'buildloop_portals_start' has expired.
*** THEN ***
Spawn unit of type 'AlienWormHole' on Team 'teamPlyrAlien' at waypoint Waypoint 'WP_Portal_1', rotated -0.03 degrees.
Spawn unit of type 'AlienWormHole' on Team 'teamPlyrAlien' at waypoint Waypoint 'WP_Portal_2', rotated -0.03 degrees.
Enable Script 'Buildbase_loop_2'.

*** IF ***
Timer 'buildloop_portals' has expired.
*** THEN ***
Spawn unit of type 'AlienWormHole' on Team 'teamPlyrAlien' at waypoint Waypoint 'WP_Portal_1', rotated -0.03 degrees.
Spawn unit of type 'AlienWormHole' on Team 'teamPlyrAlien' at waypoint Waypoint 'WP_Portal_2', rotated -0.03 degrees.
Enable Script 'Buildbase_loop_1'.

Any ideas ? bounce

yes, its all down to the manipulation of the active script, you need to make sure that your looped script activates the script that expires aka

Script 1
Effect, enable script 2

Script 2
Effect, enable script 1

You can add a timer in but you also need to enable that in order - in order to have a successfull loop.

It is becus you have set your LOD to low, If you put your settings on high, it will show.
- My tiberium is selectable , ive set it to netural but it still selects.

I am not KWmapper, So I do not know, anything bout this

In order to show a text string, you must add text to map.str

For expample
Code:

Titel
"message"
End

Thats about it ! Razz

You would need to consider that tiberium grows new objects, setting the spawning object to a team and then changing the team's selectability via script should solve this, if you are talking about a single pre-placed object however, you could select it on WB and then untick selectable properties.

-I have a countdown timer , and it says missing, do i have to add text to the map.str file ?
Yep the timer is a bit of text next to a timer, just make a .str use the string's title(from inside the file) and paste it as the string in the timer - this is me guessing that you know how to fully use .str files.

Thats about it ! Razz

I would also tell you that trying to delete a team on Tiberium wars and kanes wrath doesn't work via scripts from what I can recall, which is a major bummer because you can use teams to define a large group of units and objects.

I use to help map with mungovin, a brill map maker; he made the world map and I helped him with all the cinematics for the tiberium tornie map.

Mapping start with tiberium wars for me, maybe generals but thatwas too dull in graphics to make anything intresting.

Should you need a helping hand in scripting anything tough, i can suggest mehods around it; just be aware that i'm no longer using C&C3 Tib WB.
