[SCRIPTS] Few tele things, and Wizard Magic scripts

[leorimolo]

So, you mean where you attach the .scenario_hs_source, and where you can read the script directly in the scenario? sapien updates the scenario with the contents of the hs_sources when you open it, but tool will always compile the hs_source into the final map since you may of changed it, etc. This is one thing I like about H2, I dont have to use sapien to add scripts, tool will do it for me.. now if only hs_source would be edited in notepad while still being considered valid.. (you can open it, and see the script, but there is a area to handle the checksum or something)


Sounds similar to my experiance where the camera stayed at 0,0,0. Any clue about the origins in your BSP? Anyways, the camera will only show up on the host computer, is this cutscene a big thing for your map? cause it might be best to leave it out as only the host can see it anyways even if you perfect it.

Nah I was just doing random tests, I had the exact same thing happen to me in h2x a couple of years ago. I even used zanzibar which still had the camera placements from taht one multiplayer demo

Leaving this one here, it was the one they used to enable invisibility in MP games, basically I just modified it to use it as a backpack weap script...

Mmhh, maybe you shouldn't be so fast about the data_mine_enable command, you should try to test it online, to see if it synchronises. Just because it doesn't make a file there, doesn't mean it isn't saved in a default file

Everything should be checked!

... So what do you think is being synced in it storing debug data?...... (you do realize how strange that sounds, right?..) And if there is no file, then there is no need for it. its debug stuff, you have to directly tell it to upload to a debug server in the commands if you want it to be shared with anything, but what its sending to is still a debug server.

(data_mine_set_mission_segment <string>)
sets the mission segment for single player data mine events



(data_mine_display_mission_segment <boolean>)
display the current mission segment



(data_mine_insert <string>)

(data_mine_upload)
upload all data mining data files to debug server



(data_mine_playback <string>)
loads and displays data mine data from a file



(data_mine_playback_last)
loads and displays last data mine data



(data_mine_playback_exit)
exit data visualization



(data_mine_enable <boolean>)
enable/disable data mining



(data_mine_track_event <string>)
enable mining of an event



(data_mine_display_event <string>)

The data mining stuff has nothing to do with any of the things you guys are trying to accomplish. Not only that, but such debug functions aren't even present in the game.

[Kirby_422]

Hes trying to accomplish something with it? And I kinda guessed about the debug after that test I did with all the dumping functions, with no files being made, nor it crashing when I ran the one that hs_doc insisted would get someone fired.

(reset_dsp_image)
if we ever need to use this someone is getting fired

I really wanted to run that code to see what was so horrible about it.. oh well.


Anyways, lets explain player identification stuff for in scripts:

We don't have anything yet to identify specific players preforming certain actions to call scripts on like HCE... There is a few methods we may be able to try to dealing with this, but none of them sound that good.. First method would be that when an action_test for melee happens, quickly toss bipeds infront of everyone and see whose dies. This effectively removes the ability to melee, aswell as may not be accurate as an explosion or vehicle could be about to hit someone during that time. Another method would be weapon readied, to see if they have some secondary weapon out (used only to identify when they want to activate a script) and the problem there is we cant forcibly change their weapon back over to their other one without reseting their ammo and such, so they have to know to do it on their own. Next is grenade count, replace grenades with script activation. Last I can think of at this moment is constantly attaching and detaching vehicles to the player, and if they enter that, activate a script.. problem there is that it makes it alot harder to pickup weapons or enter other vehicles then.

Ended up doing the bold one.

(sleep_until (player_action_test_rotate_weapons) 1)
(player_action_test_reset)
(sleep 10)
(if (unit_has_weapon_readied (player) "objects\weapons\melee\energy_blade\energy_blade")
(begin
<otherstuff>
))

(you need your player static script) This basically makes it so if you change to your other weapon, which in this example is energy sword, it activates the <otherstuff> Biggest problem here is that anytime anyone changes to their secondary weapon, if you have your activator weapon out, it will do your script (so if you dont want people using your commands, put it away) this seems like the overall best method.

and rider_ejection is removed in H2.

[Kirby_422]

Bad news everyone! Your script sizes are severely crippled in H2! So, today making a test map, I tossed one of my HCE scripts over.. Saved the file, told tool to compile. Strangely enough, tool says its unmatched.. I knew this isn't true as it is used in HCE fine. I open the file again... it chopped 3/4ths of the script off. Try pasting again, click save.. I watch the scroll bar shrink instantly as I click save. You know where in guerilla, it lists source bytes? Scripts cannot exceed 4098 bytes, anything beyond that is deleted.

Today has probably been the most disappointing birthday ever (not just this, other things have happened too)

[Kornman00]

In scenario_hs_source_file, you can have a total of 8 files, each of which cannot exceed 262144 bytes. That's a total of 2MB of source if you play your cards right. I'd hardly call that "crippled" (also, those same definitions are used in the scenario itself). The only real limiter is in the syntax nodes block, which can only have 36,864 elements. That's for all scripts.
