Well its about time for my first script XD I started today and Am doing very well! I think it will be done in 2-3 days!

What does it do?
well it is a script thet will save you time on modding it will have the ability to, when a person enters the gate,

Kill the player
Heal the player
change his projectile
change his tank (edit which tank in the pref file)
teleport him (again edit the position in the pref file)
and hopefully change his team!!!!

All and any of those can be turned on or off in the pref file
you will be able to use up to 5 gates with completly different prefs!!!!!
for instances one might kill you but another might heal you!

Note: if I dont find out how to change it into a.dso, it might be released open-sourced

Spark spark spark spark.......
the dso is created when you play the game and the source code is compiled.....

Every time I play TT (and I have the script exec'd) It dosent make a.dso

Well spark I am afraid you have stumbled apon.....

LOL I love that show XD

I seriously think you just cant find it, cause if the game isnt compiling, then it shouldent work......

Do you mean the script wont work or the.dso?
because the script isnt working the way it should....

Only the projectile changing works

KillMe

                                        

                                        

                                        Function Killgate::OnEnter(%db,%this,%tank)

                                        {

                                        %client.player.hurtMe(999);

                                        }

                                        $tanktype[1] = "lighttank";

                                        $tanktype[2] = "mediumtank";

                                        $tanktype[3] = "heavytank";

                                        $tanktype[4] = "babyboss";

                                        %choice = getRandom(4);

                                        %tank.setdatablock($tanktype[%choice]);

                                        %tank.client.startingtankdb = $tanktype[%choice];

                                        }

                                        {

                                        $pupTypes[0] = "SpeedyProjectile";

                                        $pupTypes[1] = "BounceProjectile";

                                        $pupTypes[2] = "SplashProjectile";

                                        %choice = getRandom(5);

                                        %tank.client.setProjectile($pupTypes[%choice]);

                                        }

                                        

                                        

I have no idea about the TeamChangerGateThingyMoBob. I've tried doing it before and haven't had any luck. Nor do I have any idea as to how to make the gate pick one of thoes functions randomly.

You would have to make an if statement saying that the tank has to have a certain health to heal it or to kill it.

@appleyard
Lets count how many of those scripts would work...
2

One of the ones that'd work could freeze the player after dieing, the other has like 4 lines it doesnt need

I think this is whats wrong with the changeme

That should be it

Yea :) thats it :P

Woot! First time ive done some scripting! XD

And this one should be

P.S - How do I put these into a reload gate??

Nahhh... It should be

                                        

                                        function ProjectileGate::OnEnter(%db,%this,%tank)

                                        {

                                        %choice = getRandom(NUMBER OF PROJECTILES GIVEN BY POWERUPS YOU HAVE - 1);

                                        %tank.client.setProjectile($pupTypes[%choice]);

                                        }

                                        

And another one wrong is the kill one, it should be

                                        

                                        function Killgate::OnEnter(%db,%this,%tank)

                                        {

                                        %tank.hurtMe(999);

                                        }

How do I make the Reload gates do these different things now?

Well make a datablock using the name before the ::OnEnter part and make it use the reload gate.dts

Hey Pedro, since you're not a jackass, heres a little more of a detailed explanation.

In order for the commands to work, you of course got to have an object that triggers the function in the first place. The object you use can be anything you want, it doesn't haft to be stricly a reload-gate. As long a few requirements are met.

The following to peices of code should go either in the.mission file or in an external script.

Then. You'd need to edit the default (or added) desiered objects datablock in your mission file.
