17 July 2005 08:53 (UK time) I am making now, while the Civilwar is bombing out, a multiple-map-mission for M2. Now I got the Base Entrance ready, that when you get in there is a script "SC_RunMap("";" When I activate it, it runs a map VIA A MAP FINDER?!?!?!I mean that when you cross it, it likes lets YOU open the map YOU want. Is this valid (like is it supposed to happen)? You need to login to create posts in this thread.

18 July 2005 20:38 (UK time) Knasp: To do this, you need to create 2 objects. the first object(bob), and the second object(sheep). Make the trigger get bobs coordinates, and make bob hidden. Set the sheeps coordinates to that of bob, and make the sheep un hidden. Blamo! Bob turns into a sheep, no matter where he is on the map. q#2 you have to put a map filename in the (), not leave it blank.

19 July 2005 01:20 (UK time) Yes I suppose passing no map name would make the map dialog appear, after all it is just a wrapper that passes "map ????" to the console. As for changing bob into a sheep... Lets asssume that bob's ID is 10 and the sheep is 20 export OnMapStart; export ChangeBobToSheep; void OnMapStart() { // hide the sheep SC_SetObjectHidden( 20, 1); } void ChangeBobToSheep() { int BobX, BobY; // declare 2 integer numbers to store bobs coords // hide bob SC_SetObjectHidden( 10, 1); // set sheep to bob's coordinates SC_GetObjectCoords( 10, &BobX, &BobY); // get bob's coords (it does not matter that he is hidden, he still exists underneath it all) SC_SetObjectCoords( 20, BobX, BobY); // set coords to sheep // show sheep SC_SetObjectHidden( 20, 0); } In Meter 2 version 1.0 you will actually able to spawn a sheep out of thin air, in the mean time this method will work just as well for "isolated events".

19 July 2005 01:22 (UK time) Oh and an example of running a map SC_RunMap( "01_01_SwallowLake"; Note that you cam ommit the ".map" file extension. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

23 July 2005 15:16 (UK time) Hello, I'm back! Now, James, I knew that "SC_RunMap" thing, I've seen the docus and searched some "secrets" through the maps. The thing is that the map is in 2-3 pieces and it's a base. The first one finishes when you get inside base, there is the script Run Map. But I haven't made Base Upsilon the second part, so I had to let it like that, and when I was testing the Base Entrance, when I (easilly ) got in it made a dialog appear. Did you, James, make this or did it come out accidentally? You need to login to create posts in this thread.
