On map click or something?
« on: 06 Feb 2004, 22:58:26 »
ok heres what i want to do:
I've made a bombing script and i want it so that the player can select on the map (whilst playing  :P) where he wants the atack to take place and i also want it only to be available every 90or so seconds.
I think this is made using the "onmapclick" thing but is there any tutorials on it?
We have a problem at 'Oscar-Charlie 2-7' do you read me? Well its that guy with the RPG!

Check the online Command reference in the Ed Depot, I think there are some tips or links.

heres a thread that was posted after yours....might help

basiclly youd wanna make a script with everything you want to happen, then in an editor trigger do a time out for 90 seconds and the conditions for which you wnat the trigger to fire under and its activation field put...[] exec "scriptname.sqs". Your script will fire every 90 seconds(ofp seconds).  Something to that effect....do a forum search to of onmapsingleclick.


Onmapsingleclick {"markername" setmarkerpos _pos; go=true}
@go
go=false


Heres a start...this will set the marker of your choice to that mapclick position....(_pos).....@go will hold the script until go=true..which will happen when you click the map. Then go returns to being false.  

Hope this helps a little.
