help please

[bael1]

ok im doin this tutorial:

 

http://richdiesal.jedioutcastmaps.com/tutorials/gc101lsn6.html

 

an he told me 2 make a spotlight, an these are the instructions he gave to do it:

 

To create a spotlight:

1) Add an info_null entity for the light to point at.

2) Add a new Light entity to be your spotlight's source

3) Deselect (ESC) everything

4) Shift-Click the Light and then Shift-Click the info_null entity

5) Press Ctrl-K to target the Light at the info_null

 

now i did all of this and nothing changed at all, and on his pic, lines showed that linked the info_null and the light but on mine nothing happened and wen i tried it in game it was still same as normal lights rather than spotlights.

 

help please,

thankyou

shift-clicking stuff selects them, so:

 

select the light first, then select the info_null and THEN press ctrl and k. If that doesn't work then try this:

 

select the light and press "n". This should bring up the entity window.

 

At the bottom of the box, you'll have 2 boxes - key and value.

 

In the key box type in:

 

target

 

and in the value box type in anything you want, but for now lets call it:

 

t1

 

Press the enter key, and press okay.

 

Select the info_null, press n, click on the key box and type:

 

targetname

 

with the value:

 

t1

 

Basically if you want an item to become targeted, add the value targetname (npctargetname for npc's) and to target an object, use target.

 

Hope this helps.

okay im stuck on something else aswell now,

i made a pk3 of the practice map i made, and everything works fine, its a duel map, i did the scripts and levelshots, an it appears in menu and everything, but when i start the game both people spawn at the same place even tho i put 2 spawning spots, so one person get crushed an then there duel is over and this just keeps repeating.

which of the 'info_player_' do i use, cus i tried usin,

 

2 'info_player_start'

2 'info_player_deathmatch'

2 'info_player_duel'

1 'info_player_duel1' and 1 'info_player_duel2'

 

i also want 2 know how to assign triggers to other triggers,

i thought it would just be same as it is for doors, eg trigger_multiple -------> func_door,

i want to do trigger_multiple-------->trigger_hurt,

but even tho it says they are targetted at each other when i press N on em, when i press the switch it doesnt work, what i did was put a trigger hurt in a room, then made a secret room with the switch in it, so wen i press it, who ever is in the other room dies,i also made sure it sed, dmg/-1 in the trigger_hurt so they die, but its not workin,

 

please help,

thanx

It seems ok, but it could be the way you put them, and where you put them might make a difference...

Make a script. Do this:

 

Make a trigger_multiple. Add in a target_scriptrunner. Highlight the trigger first, then the scriptrunner, then connect them. In the scriptrunner type in:

 

Usescript

your_map/your_script

 

For the trigger_multiple, make sure you type in

 

wait

5

 

(that makes it so you have to wait 5 seconds between using the trigger)

 

Make a Trigger_hurt in the room you want the dude to die in.

 

Type in

 

targetname

whatever_you_want

 

Now, its time to make the actual script: Load BehavEd, and add the Use command. Type your targetname in there.

 

It should look like this:

 

//(BHVD)

use ( "whatever_you_called_the_trigger_hurt" );

 

 

Save, and compile the script in

 

scripts/your_map/your_script

 

 

And that should do it.

if that 1 doesn't work try this 1, then 'view full size'

 

http://pub21.bravenet.com/photocenter/album.php?img=46901&usernum=1739280770

 

i also tried using it with 'runonactivator' switched on, on the 'target_scriptrunner', but that doesn't work either

[bael1]

cummon guys, i really need to know how to do this, v'e trie allsorts, but no luck, i don't know if this would work but i don't know how to do it, so maybe you guys could tell me, right is there away to make a script run from beginning of game? if so i thought that i coule use a script to run a de-activation switch in-game, so that instead of using the 'start-off' on the 'trigger_hurt', it will be deactivated by the switch rather than the funtion in the entity, then usin another 'trigger_multiple' to stop the script running.

 

iv'e tried this by just putting a target_scriptrunner without it been linked to anything, but this didnt work, and when i made a switch to deactivate the script, that didn't work either, iv'e also tried it using 'target_deactivates' and 'target activates', this didnt work either,

i'd really appreciate any help,

thankyou

 

PS. please add me to MSN if you have it, so it will be easier for me to get help, bael_2@msn.com , thanks again

You can forget that script-thing... All you need to do is this:

Be sure to have a trigger_multiple and a trigger_hurt.

 

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

 

Trigger_multiple:

Key: Wait

Value: 5

 

Key: target

Value: kill

 

Check the 'use_button' checkbox.

 

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

 

Trigger_hurt:

Key:dmg

Value: 1000 (Not -1, that causes the falling-to-death-effect.)

 

Key: targetname

Value: kill

 

Check the 'start_off', the 'no_protection' and the 'can_target' checkbox.

 

This should do it:)

[bael1]

thanks alot man, i can't believe all i had to do from the very first thing i tried was check 2 more boxes on the trigger_hurt,

thanx again

[SMoKE]

No probz:)

okay im stuck again lol

i want to add music to my map, i searched and found this 1

http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=100443&highlight=putting+music

but i did everything in there exactly as it says includind the svpure 0 bit, but i still get this error,

 

Unable to find music "" as explicit track or dynamic music entry!

 

whats it mean, i told the worldspawn where to look, i did

 

key-music

value-watermap/music.mp3

 

also......... i may have got the trigger_hurt to work with a switch, but, it's on a duel map, so when i use it in game, i get the kill for that 1, but then for the next battle, the trigger_hurt stays on from the previous battle, so i just die where i stand, is the away, to make the trigger_hurt, like only work if i hold the trigger_multiple or sumthin, so that it will be off again as soon as no-one is pressing the switch?

 

thanks again

[bael1]

okay i got the music figured,i've got it workin now, but now i have another problem lol, right i made my botfile, and i have secret rooms allover the place where u have 2 puch a invisible switch 2 get in2 it, but when the bots walk past the switch they press it, so the door opens and its, well, its no longer a secret room lol, cause the stupid bots keep openin it, is there away to make it only usable by people an not bots, i tried tickng "clientonly" but they can still open it, so i'm guessin that that's just for stoppin NPC's from using it,

help please,

thanx

[bael1]

[bael1]

okay then i guess i'll just not let the bots nt go near the switches if there is no other solution, any1 got any ideas on how to fix the trigger_hurt problem?
