So if you make a "Script zone, is it possible to add a flare?"











Yes, more details coming for other sources...

You mean in game type of thing, it would need to be some kind of action script, or pre-set before the game is loaded (coded before play), it's possible if you make an object, take beacons for example, plausible.

You mean pick up a flare as a weapon? I'm pretty sure that would definitely require a client-side mod, but as far as throwing one... maybe you could use one of the mine presets? I'm thinking maybe that would be in tt.dll, not scripts.dll. But I could very well be wrong.

This should be possible, though you'll have to make your own scripts.

You could modify a beacon preset, there are two unused ones from SP, or a C4 preset to deploy the flare. Once the flare is created you can create your script zone with Create_Zone.

I've never done it myself, but I imagine you could do it by simply attaching a vehicle regen script to the beacon object as well as replace_when_repaired. Make sure the armor type of the beacon is a vehicle armor, and modify the health of the beacon so it doesn't start out at full health. Make the script replace the beacon with the custom script zone preset you made, then maybe use a zone_resize script to make it the size you want.

There may be an easier way to do this, but this is my best idea.

Try something like this.
void MDB_Create_Zone::Created(GameObject *obj) {
	Vector3 Size = Vector3(4.0f,8.0f,2.0f); //Size of the script zone.
	Matrix3 Rotation(true);
	Rotation.Rotate_Z(Commands->Get_Facing(obj)); //Set the rotation of the script zone to the same as the beacon.
	OBBoxClass Box(Commands->Get_Position(obj),Size,Rotation); //Create the bounding box with the position of the beacon, and the size and rotation defined earlier.
	GameObject* Zone = Create_Zone("Script_Zone_All",Box);
	//Attach whatever script you want to the zone now.
}

}



if you create the zone is the object in the middle or in a corner?

if it is in the middle are X and Y then total length

with the example the object would be at 2 on Y and 4 on Y

or would the zone then be a total of 8 X and 16 Y?

The object would be in the middle. The size is how far it extends from this point in each direction, so the true size would be twice the values given.

its supposed to make ppl invisible in their own base

and unable to build stuff in the enemies

but it does nothing at all not even the message does this mean i made a mistake with the zone somewhere?

Look closely at that Attach_Script_Once. Also for what you're doing it seems like it would be easier to place the zone in leveledit and use the modified map file or record its dimensions and spawn it on level load. Don't see why you'd use the beacon thing for this.

The only reason you'd want to do it with a beacon/flare is if it is something you'd deploy during mid-game. Something like a temporary stealth field generator or similar.
If this is not the case, do what WhiteDragon said, or look into the RA cloak thing script (can't remember the name :/ ), which cloaks within a certain range of the object having the script attached.

oh wow how dumb Sad

im not doing trough leveledit because this way i can adjust how the zone works and how big it is alot better.

and i know shit about leveledit and map making so i do everything trough scripting

I also prefer doing stuff through scripts.

For what you want to do you should create the zone in the level loaded hook.

The code below will create a zone at the base center. For some maps, like Canyon and Glacier, you'll need more than one zone to properly cover the base.


Vector3 Get_Base_Center(int Team) {
	Vector3 ReturnPos(0.0f,0.0f,0.0f);
	BaseControllerClass *Base = BaseControllerClass::Find_Base(Team);
	if (Base) {
		int Num = 0;
		for (Num = 0;Num < Base->BuildingList.Count();Num++) {
			ReturnPos += Commands->Get_Position(Base->BuildingList[Num]);
		}
		if (Num) {
			ReturnPos /= (float)Num;
		}
	}
	return ReturnPos;
}

void LevelLoaded() {
	Vector3 Size = Vector3(50.0f,50.0f,50.0f); //Should load the size per map from a config file.
	Matrix3 Rotation(true);
	Rotation.Rotate_Z(1.0f); //Should load a rotation per map from a config file.
	OBBoxClass Box(Get_Base_Center(0),Size,Rotation); //Create the bounding box with the position of the Nod base, and the size and rotation defined earlier.
	GameObject* Zone = Create_Zone("Script_Zone_All",Box);
	//Attach whatever script you want to the zone now.
}

hmm ive been doing it by creating a zone at each structure wich works pretty well for most maps

some maps do have some holes in it but nothings perfect

oh yea is there a way to find the amount of smart object of a team in a zone there is only one to count all objects of the team

whitedragon this line doesnt work

Rotation.Rotate_Z(Commands->Get_Facing(o)); //Set the rotation of the script zone to the same as the beacon.

i fixed it by doing this

Commands->Set_Facing(Zone,Commands->Get_Facing(obj));

if it should work tell me since from what ive tested it didnt

correction i didnt fix it

Set_Facing, Get_Facing, and Set_Position won't work on script zones since they aren't a PhysicalGameObj.

Anyway, how isn't the facing working? Can you not set the facing at all or is it just not facing the way you'd expect?

Isn't facing the Y axis, not the Z axis? Also I'm not sure they are supposed to be equal since the rotational matrix takes into account more than just the generic 'facing' of the object.
