Mapping with CJ Mod v3.12b

Post by Drofder2004 » January 28th, 2012, 7:49 pm

Auto Save, Auto Load, No Save Zones

Auto Saving:
This can be used for checkpoints, auto-loading when a player fails a jump, or to simply save a players position at a set point.
Auto-saves can be made to either save the current players position, or at a predefined point in the map. This includes the player angles.
There are a possible 100 save points available. #1, #2 and #3 are the standard player save points. These can be overwritten, or you may also use any other number up to 100.

Auto Loading:
This is used alongside the Auto Saves. Players can only manually load, #1-3. you must use auto-loads for save points 4-100.

No Save Zones:
They are zones that a player can not save their position. They are still able to load.

---

Creating an Auto-Save:
1. Create a brush using the trigger texture, in the position you want the player to activate the save.
2. Change the brush to a Trigger entity. You may use any type of activatable trigger.
3. Give the trigger key and values:
Key: targetname
value: auto_save_zone

4. Give the trigger key and values:
Key: script_index
Value: <save number>

(<save number> is an integer for the save reference, 1-3 being stock saves)

(Optional)
5. Create a script_origin (right-click 2D window, script>origin)
6. Place script_origin at position you want player to save.
7. Adjust the angle you want the player to load facing. then deselect the script_origin
8. Select the trigger THEN the script_origin and hit 'W' to link the entities.

Creating an auto-load:
1. Create a brush using the trigger texture, in the position you want the player to activate the load.
2. Change the brush to a Trigger entity. You may use any type of activatable trigger.
3. Give the trigger key and values:
Key: targetname
value: auto_load_zone

4. Give the trigger key and values:
Key: script_index
Value: <load number>


Creating a No Save Zone:
1. Create a brush using the trigger texture, in the position you want saves disabled.
2. Change the brush to a Trigger entity. You must use a trigger_multiple.
3. Give the trigger key and values:
Key: targetname
value:no_save_zone

Its is for any mappers who wishes to integrate their map with some special mod features.
It is not a tool, it is just instructions.

and possible problems on other maps with the opening of the door, calling the elevators, etc.

Sorry but I have no idea what you mean.

And if there are any problem with mappers and this mod, I urge them to come forward and instead of keeping this information amongst the mappers, sharing it with the person creating the mod...
