continueing the Gravity topic

[Moriar]

Sorry for posting this new topic but this might work


when you create for example a trigger_use, and you press n...
you get this list:

Code: Select all

when activated will use its target

"delay" - time (in seconds) before it can be used again

"offnoise" - specifies an alternate sound

"cursorhint" - sets the cursor hint icon to display when the player looks at it. Default is HINT_ACTIVATE.

"hintstring" - hint string to display over the icon. Auto replaces [Use] with the key the player must press. Example: "Press [Use] to plant the bomb"



"cursorhint" cursor types:

	HINT_INHERIT

	HINT_NONE		

	HINT_ACTIVATE

	HINT_NOACTIVATE

	HINT_DOOR

	HINT_DOOR_LOCKED

	HINT_MG42

	HINT_HEALTH

	HINT_LADDER

	HINT_EXIT

	HINT_FRIENDLY

I am able to use those commands, but can I also activate them by a script?
if I can it might be able to set gravity in a specific area

[Drofder2004]

I fail to see how anything here will do area-specific gravity.

cant see it either... it will just change the whole map unless u use trig multiple or such as that and make a specific area with it where u want the gravity changes

[creator]

cant edit for some reason
talked to him and i think he means: if he can use those commands in a script without typing it in the enity box
if it can ( he says ) its possible to make the gravity work

[Drofder2004]

I will say this again (like many people have said)...

Gravity CAN be changed via script... but NOT area specific.

[Soviet]

maybe you people should listen to drofder and shut the hell up...he tends to be right about these things

[Moriar]

You probably don't understand what I mean....

I mean: can I activate this?--->

Code: Select all

"hintstring" - hint string to display over the icon. Auto replaces [Use] with the key the player must press. Example: "Press [Use] to plant the bomb"

by editing the script?...its not that hard to understand
add a hintstring in a script

just like: give a brush a targetname(targetname123) and then in the script you do: targetname123 (and then add a key and value to it)

I really hope someone understand now

[Drofder2004]

Yeh but how is a hintstring going to do anything with gravity?

hintstrings simply put a message on a trigger?
If you want to change that, I believe...

trig = getent("trig","targetname");
trig.hintstring = "New trigger Hintstring";

untested.

[Moriar]

no it doesn't do anything with Gravity, but if it works...It will work the same on gravity

hopefully...


So it would be this:

Code: Select all

trig1= getent("triggrav1getname");
trig1gravity = "800";

and all other worldspawns (or trigger, need to find out) this:

Code: Select all

trig1= getent("triggrav2rgetname");
trig2gravity = "100";

So that one in the specific area for the low gravity

Hope it works

[Moriar]

Then its not a trigger....but a worldspawn

Then it should work

[Drofder2004]

You can ONLY cahnge the WORLDSPAWN gravity, not a SPECIFIC AREA.

If you change the gravity, the entire map will be affected.

[Nightmare]

how hard is it for people to understand?

[Soviet]

maybe you people should listen to drofder and shut the hell up...he tends to be right about these things

[Moriar]

maybe it doesn't work

but cant you change 1 worldspawn to gravity: 100 and the other gravity: 800 ?

Im still hoping it will work
