How can I make a turret you can deploy like...

Ok, say you tossed a C4.

Thats how you toss a turret. It lands and opens yu with a animation then will fire on enemy targets?

Like those small machine guns in Half Life!

I am making a team fortress style level!

I tried making C4 which you can throw and it does an action when it lands, but it didn't work properly and attaching scripts to c4 seems to make the renegade engine crash half the time... Huh

Attatching cinematics that include timers to c4 doesn't work. You can attatch a cinematic to it, but just one without timers...

You could add an invisible object to the c4 and attatch your cinematic to that. Or make the c4 kill itself and spawn another object when it does kill itelf, attatching the cinematic to that instead.

This also applies to the beacons...

I simply attached JFW_Debug_Logfile (something like that) to test scripts with C4 and even that caused the game to crash when the C4 was about to detonate... that does not have anything to do with cinematics...

lol, weren't you the one that made the tutorial for my shortly before mp-gaming? died?

I wish that server hadn't died, there was alot of cool stuff there.

I'd love to see those tutorials again. Perhaps you or someone from that old group could post them around somewhere?

If you attatch test_cinematic to the invisible object and define your cinematic text file, then attatch the invisible object to the c4 then it won't crash.
The c4 and beacons are a bit weird like that... Sad

Yeah that was me... I still have some of the tutorials... I might post them somewhere... Infact I have been looking for somewhere to reside perminantly since MP. I want a place to launch new SS game modes too...

(Sorry for going a bit off topic)

Even though it may not be your speed, I'm sure you'd be welcome over at n00bstories. You should stop by some time.

You could also do it through beacons, just make it so you shoot the beacon, and when the orange bar at the bottom of the screen is full it would launch the beacons cinematic's which you could use to deploy a turret. Make sure the beacon projectile arcs or else it could be deployed mid air.

beacons are also a bit funny with cinematics that contain timers...

Best to attatch another object to the beacon and attatch the test_cinematic script to that instead. Or make the beacon kill itself when planted, then spawn another object (say a signal flare) when it dies, with the conematic attatched to the flare.. that way the beacon is indirect trigger event for the cinematic.

I tried that one, you can't 'throw' beacons, they always appear at your feet. C4 would be the best way to go, although I used a different method to accomplish my goal when I was having trouble with the C4 crashing renegade, which actually works better for my purposes anyway.

Becons work because people couldent deploy turrets on walls!

How bout you deploy the becon, then it dussipears and a turret spawns there?

I could use the Nod_Tailgun thing it looks cool!

The only problem with beacons is at best the sky will reset when ever you plant one (thats the best I been able to do to keep it from going all cloudy or red)! It happens like a flash and all the clouds will be gone for a less than a second, and then they slowly go back to their original setting.

Well its not that bad, you might not even notice it (or you could just turn the clouds off)!

Or you could temp the C4 preset and set its gravity to something like 50,000, so it HAS to drop at their feet

But then you can't have any c4 in the game, and there will only be one type of turret.

true, but it might be a mod without C4...

I once temped the C4 for a test pkg so you could lob it all the way from your base to the enemy base, just for a laugh. Anyway...


If your doing turret spawning, you might want to consider 0 damage weapons, so when the player shoots themselves with it the Damaged event triggers a turret to spawn at their feet, and then moves them out the way, or something. That way you could have a few different weapon presets for different types of turrets.

With an explosion (like shooting a rocket at your feet), but if a beacon shoots the weapon it can hurt you.

Here is how you stop that using nothing but level edit and ssaow...


Go to the "Nuclear Strike" preset under object\Beacon\Nuclear Strike and hit the mod button.

Go to the "Physics Model" tab and under model name change it to "vehicles\nod turret\v_nod_turret.w3d".



Go to the "Settings" tab and change the health to 1.0 and the HealthMax to 2.0, then change the skin type to "Blamo".



Go to the "Scripts" tab and select add from the current window.. not the one at the bottom of the preets tree.
When the "Scripts Defination" window pops up press the drop down box on the "Type" line, then scroll to "Dak_Vehichle_Regen_Dak". Then click "Ok".

Press the add button again and then choose "TFX_Replace_When_Repaired", now type in the value line "Nod_Turret_MP_Improved", and click "Ok", then click on "Ok" on the "Edit object" window.



Now go to the "Nod_Turret_MP_Improved" preset under object\vehichle\Mounted\Nod_Turret_Dec\Nod_Turret_MP\Nod_Turret_MP_Improved and hit the mod button.

Now select the "Scripts" tab and click on "add" and scroll to "JFW_Disable_Physical_collision" and then click "Ok".


BTW Viking, I was not saying it isn't possible to add cinematics to beacons (not that what i just explained is a cinemtic, because it isnt), I was saying adding a cinematic with timers to a beacon kinda f00ks things up. And danpaul was saying that it is possible, just it falls at your feet...

I remember this from the tutorial you made for me. Once again thanks.
Also, to add to that:
in the same place that you added the other scripts also add "RA_ObjectDeath_OnDeath" with the name as preset and the value as "vehicles\nod turret\v_nod_turret.w3d" or when the turret dies it will leave a nasty solid base behind that will cause a big hassel. Very Happy
