Sorry to people who have tried to email me, I have been out of the loop for a while. Anyway JohnWE has made an example script map that demonstrates the use of many of the scripting commands. This map can be download from the Meteor 2 Maps page at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.meteormods.com">www.meteormods.com</a>. You need to login to create posts in this thread. |

I tried out the map, and kudos to JohnWE for it. It's pretty helpful, and honestly, I didn't even know you could enable/disable triggers before trying out the map :-) What I think would be cool is for the two sectors all the way on the bottom that makes the tractor faster/slower is to make the effects cumulative; i.e. each time the sector is triggered, the tractor speeds up or slows down by a certain amount. Here's the new faster trigger, which shows how to use the SC_GetObjectMaxSpeed function as well as using two commands in one line: <pre> void faster() { SC_ConsoleMessage("Yay Faster!"  ;// Set the new speed to 1 + the current speed SC_SetObjectMaxSpeed(11, SC_GetObjectMaxSpeed(11) + 1); SC_SetSectorTriggerEnabled(36,1);//re-enable the trigger } </pre> Here's the new slower trigger, which uses a local variable to temporarily store the value of SC_GetObjectMaxSpeed. It also shows how to use an if statement for decision making. In this case, it makes sure that the tractor's max speed doesn't go below 5: <pre> void slower() { int currentSpeed; SC_ConsoleMessage("Yay Slower!" ;// Retrieve the current speed currentSpeed = SC_GetObjectMaxSpeed(11); if (currentSpeed <= 5) { // If speed is 5 or less SC_SetObjectMaxSpeed(11, 5); // reset it to 5 } else { // If speed is greater than 5 SC_SetObjectMaxSpeed(11, currentSpeed - 1); // decrease it } SC_SetSectorTriggerEnabled(37,1);//re-enable the trigger } </pre> These two show just how powerful the scripting engine can be. Edit: Whoa... forum posting gets rid of whitespace and tabs in your posts.. Edited: 24 January 2005 02:09 You need to login to create posts in this thread. |
