Checkpoints
« on: 03 Apr 2004, 00:31:40 »
hi, I need some help with making 10 or so checkpoints for a race and 1 finish line that when activated shows the players name who crossed it and ends the game... but only if they went through all the checkpoints ;D hope its possible

You just need a whole bunch of triggers and a wee script.    For each checkpoint you need a trigger for each player:  group the trigger to the player and you'll get new options in the Activation box.   Each checkpoint trigger will look something like this.

Activation:   player1 present
On activation:    P1_Check1=true

The script will run a little loop to check when somebody wins and will then display the correct message.   This is not a script, it is just a sketch for the script.

#loop
~0.5
? P1_Check1 and P1_Check2: goto "P1win"
? P2_Check1 and P2_Check2: goto "P2win"
goto "loop"

#P1win
hint "Player1 wins!"
exit

#P2win
hint "Player2 wins!"
exit

This is a very crude way of doing it, which will get messy with a lot of players and/or checkpoints, but it will at least work.   Syntax etc not guaranteed.
