quick question, im looking to change the frequency of a crate comming up and possibly add a second location to them.... My question is do I have to edit this in each map or is there someplace in the settings or code i need to change, Thanks!

If you're running SSGM it's different to stock ren, please supply this information.

Here is fine unless Reborn would rather discussion occurred on his own forums.

I don't mind wherever, more people read these forums, so questions are probably better read and answered here I guess.

With SSGM, you could move the crate spawns. The object creation hook has a little look for the crates, and attaches it's own script to them, here:

	
else if (Is_Powerup(obj)) {
		if (!Data->Mod && isin(Commands->Get_Preset_Name(obj),"Crate")) {
			Attach_Script_Once(obj,"MDB_SSGM_Crate","");
		}


At this point, you could move the object to new location depending on the map.

For the frequency you would have to (AFAIK) either make the change in level edit by changing the spawn delay time to something else, or you could just create more crate objects via code, using your own type of crate manager.

o.k. I think I understand,not quite sure... so i have to edit the ssmg code? or put something into the ssgm.ini for each map? ill look into it a little deaper, the second question I posted on your forum but i will post it here as well, people may be searching for the same answers Smile

Im running WGC's addon .... or replacement script and i can no longer use your !sellvehicle plugin. the FDS freezes then restarts itself in an endless loop, also the same with your
!Surrender plugin, is this because WGC uses a different version of scripts? thanks.

I have no idea what WGC's addon is or does. However, I know that the surrender system works fine standalone, so that would indicate that this other code you have is conflicting with it.

Well, I could only assume it has something to do with these scripts you recently added.

If you need more help with the frequency and positions of the crates, just yell. I will throw up some code/level edit screenies or something if you're stuck.

Thank you sir, i fixed the othe rproblem, i took some freash code and installed the crate upgrades alone, then everything else worked. I also put in your code you posted on the thread for the crates and have it now working with your vet system, thanks Smile

I have to download teh level editing program and Will work on the frequency of the crates. I was hopping these was a ssgm.ini entry i could do but i'll go map for map if i have too Wink

kinda and yes Wink

I haven't worked in C++ in yeeeeeeeaaaaaarrrrrrssss, Im the kind of guy that will only do things when I need to, kinda a forced learning thing, i could never learn from a book.

Because of my love of the game, and my Friends at UN <Un Rules> I'm trying to update the new maps server. So I've been reading through the code, got my compiler <thanks to your wonderful threads> and am trying to get things rolling again Smile I love the feel of the Atomix server, it's made the game fun again with all the eastereggs and tricks... but prefure New maps... so I wish to bump up our server.... not to the etxent of course, but in the feel that they have...

I think that makes sense Wink

got another one for you. Love your code Wink

I've spent about an hour, so I figured i would post up, I at least try to fix these things...

With your AirStrike function I can't get the base defences to stop shooting at them. any idea's?

I know you said in the thread to attach a destory script to the object, throw me a bone and show me where to do this.... im going to assume it's in the *.txt files...

My experience with the cinematic files is limited, and what I did know, has since faded. However, I remember it's possible to attach scripts to the objects...

Probably not the most straight forward way to do it, but it should be possible to make your own script on the server that on the ::Created event, does Commands->Set_Visible(obj, false);. This should stop the base defenses shooting the planes...

You could also on that same script start a timer, and on the timer expired event destroys the object. However, I believe if you look at some of the drop vehicle txt files they will give you an example of how to destroy objects directly on the txt file.

If you create this script and add it to your servers solution, then in the text file you should be able to attach that exact script to the objects you're creating (although there probably is a way to use that Commands->Set_Visible(obj, false); part directly in the text file too I would imagine.

I'm at work, so can't be more specific, if this doesn't help, or you need more help, just shout and I will try when I get home...

If you posted your code, and exactly what you're trying to do, then I could probably help you out a bit more...

o.k.. i've tryed, the code im using is actually yours.

http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&th=26881&prevloaded=1& rid=24977&start=0

I atempted your "times destruction that you posted on the last page but the vehicles still stay in teh air, I wouldn't mind them flying over for a long period of time, but the base defenses shoot at them.

I tryed the Set_visable but when I compiled it didn't understand the function. I even went in to see how the Spy is ignored by the ob and agt but I couldn't attach it to a vehicle...

where in your code would I put these funcions? again, im using your code from the link *scratches head*

but when i call for an airstrike, after 31 seconds *I* die LOL

In the second attempt, you're attaching the script to obj. If you are dieing, then the obj must be the player GameObject *.

I cannot remember much about the cinematic text files, but what you did looks pretty much like what I would of done. It might be better to port the whole cinematic to a single script.

you mean instead of using a cinematic text file to control the a10s and jets to hard code it into thegmmain.cpp? wouldn't the whole script need to be redone then?

At this point thats a little beyond me Wink

what is we attached the "spy" attributes to the jet objects? that way we can leave the flying, but the base defences will not attack them?

hmmmmm.....

Commands->Attach_Script(obj,"reb_Nod_Jet_strike7","");



and on GDI is just had this.

do I added this call

Commands->Attach_Script(obj,"reb_GDI_a10_strike7","");

where it belongs and now everything is working Smile the planes make 2 passes and then go away... thanks for pointing me in the right direction Smile

Ah, the link has changed... Also, it was a chat hook to in a way "purchase" the air strike. I hate these chat commands really, but if you insist...
I don;t believe I had any conditional checks either, like if infantry building was still alive etc etc...
But might help you understand things a little clearer.
