Question about Countdown mod

[jasongor]

Hi

   

   I got a question regarding to the countdown mod 1.5.

   I downloaded it and it run alright..but i didn't show where the radio is (the red print on left hand side)

   

   I played in some server and everytime the radio drops, everyone will freeze and a short video will show where the bomb is...it also happens when start of the map.

   

   How can i make the video things happen?

   

   Thanks

the video thing is not stock so if u dont know scripting, I think the best thing to do is find the server and e-mail them asking if u may have the mod.

[jasongor]

but then can u please give me some ideas on the video scripting i should put on the mod?

   

   thanks

well if u have a look in the HTR/camera.scr you will see the section for end camera scene when a team has won.

   

   You could do the following:

   

   1. In radio.scr add a line to exec a new thread we will make in a minute to orbit the radio for 5 seconds.

   

   

   main local.origin:
   
      spawn level.radio_model "targetname" "countdown_radio" "classname" "scriptmodel"
      //local.radio model "items/explosive.tik" //"items/walkietalkie.tik"
      local.radio = $countdown_radio
      local.radio.origin = local.origin
      local.radio.angles = ( 0 0 0 )
      local.radio solid
      local.radio droptofloor
      local.radio light 1 0 0 50
   [b]
   // THE RADIO HAS SPAWNED ABOVE.
   
   // So we can exec our script. add
   
          waitexec HTr/camera.scr::custom_cam
   // waitexec, this will wait until the camera has finished
   // this line will exec the thread custom_cam in camera.scr
   [/b]
      local.hit_box = spawn trigger_multiple "spawnflags" 128 "targetname" "radio_box"
      local.hit_box setsize ( -20 -20 -20 ) ( 20 20 20 )
      local.hit_box setthread shot
      local.hit_box.origin = local.radio.origin
   
      local.use_box = spawn trigger_use  "targetname" "radio_use"
      local.use_box setsize ( -35 -35 -35 ) ( 35 35 35 )
      local.use_box setthread use
      local.use_box.origin = local.radio.origin
   
      local.radio.use = local.use_box
      local.radio.shot = local.hit_box
   
      local.use_box glue local.radio
      local.hit_box  glue local.radio
   

   

   

   ok so above we added a line to exec a custom script. Now lets make the custom script. The script will make all the players view a camera the looks at the radio.

   

   

   2. Open HTR/camera.scr and create a new thread named "custom_cam". In their use the code in the threads above to make your own code to veiw a cam.

   

   

   custom_cam:
   
      spawn Camera targetname "camera" origin self.origin
      $camera follow_distance 190
      $camera orbit_height 70
      $camera speed 1.4
   
      drawhud 0
   
      letterbox 1
   
      //freeze player
      freezeplayer $player
   
   
      // orbit the radio
      $camera orbit $countdown_radio
   
      //some effects
      fadein 5.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.0
      // watch for 5 seconds
   
      wait 5
   
   
      clearletterbox
      cueplayer
   
      releaseplayer  $player
      $camera delete
   
   end
   
   

[jasongor]

so where should i put the

   

   custom_cam:

   

   spawn Camera targetname "camera" origin self.origin

   $camera follow_distance 190

   $camera orbit_height 70

   $camera speed 1.4

   

   drawhud 0

   

   letterbox 1

   

   //freeze player

   freezeplayer $player

   

   

   // orbit the radio

   $camera orbit $countdown_radio

   

   //some effects

   fadein 5.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.0

   // watch for 5 seconds

   

   wait 5

   

   

   clearletterbox

   cueplayer

   

   releaseplayer  $player

   $camera delete

   

   end

   

   

   code?

   

   inside the countdown.txt?

[jasongor]

I know wht you mean Elgan...

   

   any good pk3 editor program that i can use to edit the thing??

   

   thanks

[jasongor]

ok, everythings working fine but i am still not sure about this

   

   Open HTR/camera.scr and create a new thread named "custom_cam". In their use the code in the threads above to make your own code to veiw a cam.

   

   do u mean the custom_cam.scr will store in

   

   HTRcamera.scrcustom_cam.scr

   

   OR

   

   HTRcustom_cam.scr

   

   

   BUT for the first approarch..the pk3 editor will crash

   and for the second approarch..the file won't work..simply a TDM gametype...

   

   Thanks again Elgan

[Elgan {sfx}]

edit the radio.scr with the line i showed u.

   

   then open camera.scr and paste this in

   

   

   custom_cam:
   
   spawn Camera targetname "camera" origin $countdown_radio.origin
   $camera follow_distance 190
   $camera orbit_height 70
   $camera speed 1.4
   
   drawhud 0
   
   letterbox 1
   
   //freeze player
   freezeplayer $player
   
   
   // orbit the radio
   $camera orbit $countdown_radio
   
   //some effects
   fadein 5.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.0
   // watch for 5 seconds
   
   wait 5
   
   
   clearletterbox
   cueplayer
   
   releaseplayer  $player
   $camera delete
   
   end
   

   

   then done, a thread is like a function /section in a script. not a new script.

[jasongor]

u want me to overwrite the whole camera.scr or add above/below the orginal camera.scr script?

   

   Sorry Elgan, i am very fresh to pk3 editing...and thank you for ur help so far

[jasongor]

so, the new camera.scr will look like this??
