Oh no... Not Armsty and his n00b Qs again...

[dmakatra]

OK, hi all! Looks who's back with a new n00b Q again? Yup, me!

<advertising>
I asked this @ Gameers NPD 2 forums, but it's down at the moment
</advertising

WTF is wrong with this script? It's a primitive script that'll update so it'll get better later. It's for making a base more alive.

Code: [Select]

_unit = _this select 0

@ (stoner distance _unit <= 3)

_rand = random 4

? _rand <= 4 : ["Hi, what's up?", "PLAIN DOWN"]; goto "anim"
? _rand <= 3 : ["Yo! Something new Stoner?", "PLAIN DOWN"]; goto "anim"
? _rand <= 2 : ["Hey Stoner! Lend me a cigg would ya?", "PLAIN DOWN"]; goto "anim"
? _rand <= 1 : ["Hey Stoner, I think the captain wanted to talk to you, have you seen him?", "PLAIN DOWN"]; goto "anim"
#anim
? _rand <= 4 : _unit switchmove "foldonesarms"; goto "exit"
? _rand <= 3 : _unit switchmove "FXCivilLookaround1"; goto "exit"
? _rand <= 2 : _unit switchmove "FXCivilLookaround2"; goto "exit"
? _rand <= 1 : _unit switchmove "FXCivilArmsAkimboL"; goto "exit"
#exit
exit
That didn't work so I thought the distance command was screwing up, and I added this after the distance line:

Code: [Select]

hint "yo! wazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzup!?"
Just to see if it worked, and it did. Looks like it's the random command is wrong, and I've used it like this a billion times... WTF is wrong?

? _rand <= 4 : ["Hi, what's up?", "PLAIN DOWN"]; goto "anim"

The problem is that you can't have more than one command in a ?condition statement. You need to either use an if-then construct, or you need to break it up into two lines, as follows:

? _rand <= 4 : ["Hi, what's up?", "PLAIN DOWN"]
? _rand <= 4 : goto "anim"

And by the way, I find it funny that you use the word n00b

[Drozdov]

You're using ";" instead of ":" in your ": goto" bits.

[dmakatra]

OK Barron, so now it looks like this:

Code: [Select]

_unit = _this select 0

@ (stoner distance _unit <= 3)

_rand = random 4

? _rand <= 4 : ["Hi, what's up?", "PLAIN DOWN"]
? _rand <= 4 : goto "anim"
? _rand <= 3 : ["Yo! Something new Stoner?", "PLAIN DOWN"]
? _rand <= 3 : goto "anim"
? _rand <= 2 : ["Hey Stoner! Lend me a cigg would ya?", "PLAIN DOWN"]
? _rand <= 2 : goto "anim"
? _rand <= 1 : ["Hey Stoner, I think the captain wanted to talk to you, have you seen him?", "PLAIN DOWN"]
? _rand <= 1 : goto "anim"
#anim
? _rand <= 4 : _unit switchmove "foldonesarms"
? _rand <= 4 : goto "exit"
? _rand <= 3 : _unit switchmove "FXCivilLookaround1"
? _rand <= 3 : goto "exit"
? _rand <= 2 : _unit switchmove "FXCivilLookaround2"
? _rand <= 2 : goto "exit"
? _rand <= 1 : _unit switchmove "FXCivilArmsAkimboL"
? _rand <= 1 : goto "exit"
#exit
exit
Still ain't working :-\

[General Barron]

Post the mission plz, and I'll try to debug.

[Chris Death]

Hell, you lotta guys can't see the forrest because of
so many trees there  ;D

First off:

? _rand <= 4 : ["Hi, what's up?", "PLAIN DOWN"]

The condition <=4 right as first condition will always be
true because it's always <=4  

And ["HI, what's up?","PLAIN DOWN"] without the
titleText/Cut won't do anything, and so it will
be with the following goto statement.

You "can" combine commands, using the ";" semicolon, but
in your case it's not working because of the missing titletext
in the first command.

btw - i would do the whole stuff in a different way, using
arrays  and one random selector.

This is far too complicated to be located in the General Board  

Or is it just me  ;D ME aint got a bleeding clue about the _rand thingy migjig..

I aint going to get into it either unless i need to ;D

Chao

[macguba]

Nah, I think this is ok for the general board.

_rand is just a local variable that is defined at the start of the script.    In this case it's a random number between 0 and 4.

[dmakatra]

DOH!!! How can I miss the titletext!?!?!

*Bangs himself in a table*

:beat: *Gets Shot* :beat:

[dmakatra]

There's still no animation... :-\

:beat: *Gets Shot* :beat:

EDIT: Nevermind... I figured it out now. Looks like some animations, even FXs, required that the soldier had a weapon in his hand, I had removeallweapons him.

Cheers!
