I'm kind of new to M2 Map Editing and I have a few questions...

1. I know how to make things follow waypoints but I want to know how to make a vehicle follow waypoints after you enter it... how do you do this?

2. How do you make objects indestructible? I read the Meteor 2 Documents, but I still don't get it. What are the easiest ways to do this?

3. how do you make objects respawn at a certain spot? (and then follow waypoints?)

Oh, and I'm not so good at scripting things, so more details needed...? Unless you know how to do these things in Map Editor for Sectors (Script Trigger) or something

Thanks.

Unfortunately I'm not very good at scripting. But with this

SC_SetObjectFollow( [object that follows player], SC_GetPlayerObjectId() );

you can make an object follow you.

void OnEnterVehicle_*VehicleId*(){
SC_BindObjectToWaypoint( *int ObjectId*, *int WaypointId*);
}

!Don't forget to export your events using *export EventName_123*;" at the top of your script!


That should help.

And if I was you I would also read the M2 documentation and the scripting tutorial. At least, if you're not too lazy, like me ;p

I will learn the scripting because there will be scripts in Meteor 3.

Just so you know, mr_no_name, the scripting tutorial Dark Rain directed you to is outdated. The most up-to-date one can be found at my site, www.mike.jbgames.com, and click on Scripting under the tutorial list.

I'm sorry, I didn't know that it is outdated.

ok... i have made a scripting file for this map i made but it seems there is still a problem (with the entering vehicle and following waypoint part). I am not really good at scripting, so I probably did something wrong. Can you figure whats wrong? I already read the documents... either im not reading it carefully enough or I just cant find it.


#title ""
#author "your name here"

#include meteor2

export OnMapStart;

void OnMapStart()
{
SC_SetObjectIndestructible(0,1);
SC_SetObjectIndestructible(1,1);
SC_SetObjectIndestructible(2,1);
}

export ChinookPickUp;

void OnEnterVehicle_3()
{
SC_BindObjectToWaypoint(3,242);
}


What ends up happening is that I just enter the helicopter and nothing happens.

#title
#author your name here

#include meteor2

export OnMapStart;
export OnEnterVehicle_3;


void OnMapStart()
{
SC_SetObjectIndestructible(0,1);
SC_SetObjectIndestructible(1,1);
SC_SetObjectIndestructible(2,1);
}

void OnEnterVehicle_3()
{
SC_BindObjectToWaypoint(3,242);
}

Fixed your multiple-posts problem ;-)

And verify that the vehicle ID of the chinook hasn't changed since you make the script.

You might have forgotten to write ';' at the end of some of the lines.

Tell us if you see "It's getting here..." come up when you enter the chinook.

oh! i don't know what i did... but it now works!
thanks for the help though, but I still have a few question...
how to make things respawn at a certain spot? is it possible to make the "Mission Completed" thing pop up and run the next level? Because i'm trying to connect these levels together, and if I make a trigger run ("level_name";) it doesnt show the "Mission Completed [press space to continue]" and i want it to

did i say everything right? or did everything not make sense?
