wuts wrong in the scripting? i can't figure it out...

#title ""
#author ""

#include meteor2

export OnWaypointReached_21;

void OnWaypointReached_21()
{
int NewObjectId

//make blobs
NewObjectId = SC_AddObject( "blob.ob", 547, 1799, -1, AI_ROAMING, 4, "", 1, 0, 0);

//bind to track point to make more blobs
SC_BindObjectToWaypoint( NewObjectId, 21);
}

or this one:

#title ""
#author ""

#include meteor2

export OnWaypointReached_21;

void OnWaypointReached_21()
{

int NewObjectId

if( SC_ObjectExists(10) == 1)
{
//make blobs
NewObjectId = SC_AddObject( "blob.ob", 547, 1799, -1, AI_ROAMING, 4, "", 1, 0, 0);

//bind to track point to make more blobs
SC_BindObjectToWaypoint( NewObjectId, 21);
}
}

You tell us. What is it doing? (Or not doing?)

Maybe try this

void OnWaypointReached_21(int ObjectId)

instead of

void OnWaypointReached_21()

I'm not even sure if you even have to do this, but I usually do, it might help.

to mike: Okay, so first, i made a blob go to a waypoint (ID 21), and then make more blobs once it gets to that waypoint, using the script... but I fixed the first script, but the second one never works (the second script is in the last post i did)

you have to activate the script each time after you use it
i know thers somewhere a script command for it

i found it:
...............
void SC_SetSectorTriggerEnabled( int SectorId, int value);
Once a sector trigger is used it is disabled by default (so it won't run again). Using this function a sector's trigger can be re-enabled (or disabled for that matter).

Notes
Setting a sector's required item in the Map Editor also affects if scripts are run (this is not for doors only).

Example
if( SC_GetItemCount("Hot Dinner"

< 300)
{
SC_GameMessage("You need 300 hot dinners to make this script work!"

;

// re-enable this trigger for next time
SC_SetSectorTriggerEnabled(10,1);

......................

though its sector based, so you have to use one somehow
i leave this one to you..

i hope it helps

I thought variables were a no-no in M2. Guess not.
But then why do we need StaticFlags?

My website: http://halestrom.net/darksleep@Occasionally you may meet me when you sleep. In the darkest corners of your dreams, where your phone stops working and you don't know what to do. I'll be there; telling you that I don't support your device.

"Can't you just fix-"
NO! I told you when you bought this, when it goes wrong I can't fix it. It's filled with glue. The Greek goddess of glue Araldities herself would be impressed with this.

Please stop asking me for technical support during your dreams. Can't we just tour some surreal landscapes instead?

"How do I do that?"

Count your fingers. Keep trying. Make sure there's ten.

Then summon me. I am large and covered in wires. Clouds of baking soda pour into your world and a slightly weak yellowy glow appears from the LED strips behind me.

If you can see this message then you're already part of the way there. Keep all your styles disabled and you might see the dream within.

"But there's so much javascript everywhere! I can't see you. Help! I've forgotten to count my fingers! Where do I find them?"

The LED strip behind me pops and goes out. Dark spots appear in the centre of each light. I lift my finger to my lips. The smell of tantalum capacitors fills the air.

Ssh. Don't worry about that. Behind those frameworks there's another person sleeping.

Some day the javascript will sleep too.

Good question. Why do we need static flags?

Static flags represent global int variables. James was telling me that, since you can't create global vars in .SC files, StaticFlags is a great workaround.

I wouldn't have a clue what the difference is.

Global variables can be used anywhere, whereas normal variables can only be used on the same level as the one at which it was called.

So if you had:

int hello;

Callback1()
{
// hello can be used here
}

Callback2()
{
// hello can also be used here
}

Unlike if you created a normal variable:

Callback1()
{
int hello;
// hello can be used here
}

Callback2()
{
// hello cannot be used here
}

Lol, I didn't even know that you can use vars in M2 level scripts XD

So if I get it right, the M2 scripting language is actually pure C++, and NOT just some kind of clone? If that is correct, it would open a lot of features for me and will be MUCH more simple to create special stuff =D

This link is dead. It's only still here because, err... yknow, it's some sort of... memorial.

I know some things on Pascal but I know nothing about C++.

M2 is C+ with some M2 only commands that are only recognized by the M2 engine.

In fact, did you guys ever notice that StaticFlags also work between levels? =)
