Ok, so after lots of dreaming and wanting, I started thinking about ways to make self-healing and other various things a possibility in multiplayer.

I found the solution.

It's been right in front of our face and we just haven't seen it, until now.

The secret is to make the scripts and attach them to a weapon (on the map) as the Main AI script (while in singleplayer).

Because weapons are the only dynamic object allowed in multiplayer, the scripts work!

So far I have created 2 scripts, unfortunately, they dpon't work exactly the way they are supposed to and I am requiring assistance from anyone willing to help. (I hope Conjured or Seth Black picks up on this!)

Here they are:



In this script, I am try to make it so that any player on the map will self heal, thus eliminating the need for health packs.



I have finally found out how to display a hud and play a sound.

As I am still a n00b at scripting, I do not really know where and at what value the state commands should be.

Also I have tested these scripts as-is and they do work, but the farther away you get from the weapon that contains the scripts, the slower your health regenerates and the slower the heartbeat sound plays. And when you get closer enough to the weapon, the sound repeats sooooo fast that you can't even recognize what it is, same with the health regen.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(Wow, that's my longest post evar!)

You an have dynamic objects in Multiplayer....

Build the map in Single player. Then when it's finished, Go to File>Preferences and set it to multiplayer. AS long as the dynamic objects had physics off and were immobile, they'll work great...

If I was ever given the opportunity to remove all the bad from the world, I wouldn't, because for there to be heroism, compassion and all that is good, there must also be all that is bad.

Above is a cleaned up version of your first script.



Another cleaned up script. As far as I am aware, they should work.

@marc steene

Thank you so much for helping me out a little! I really appreciate it!!!

@Wraith Staff

Ya, I could use a little help with the self heal script, It seems that it heals you properly when you are about 10 segments away from the weapon with the script on it. Then when you get farther away, you heal slower.... I dont quite get it but I'm still working on it!

Hey, just a quick question that may turn out to help you and/or help me help you...

Have you ever tried fiddling with the "setuplevel.fpi" script in the "gamebank" of your builds? It's all FPI script and that's how I make my health regeneration work... Just a thought. Though I would only work with it AFTER you build or at very least, make a backup... If so (and it isn't working) or if not (and you need help) I'll be here... Hope it works for you!

Apologies for the lack of contact on my end... Internet has been giving me problems....

Anyway,

@Wraith Staff,

I have tried injecting the scripts above into the setuplevel.fpi, but it didn't work. I might have the states wrong, I will try and get it working in the meantime

@dolphin lover

As far as I know CTF is impossible ATM. BUT! Lamur Mod V2 did have an objective-based game type, not sure how it works though

It probably is something with the states. I'll give it a try myself and post the results. It could be a while, though.

Sorry, but I do not make multiplayer arenas because I can't test them.
So, I do single player only.

That happens when I forget to set ALWAYS ACTIVE to YES.
When set to YES it will not matter how far you are away from its placement position.

Set the ALWAYS ACTIVE to YES, and tell me what happens.

Yea, I can understand that, but I can't test them either, for the health regen, I've been setting my staring health to something uder 100 and the script regens it back to 100, you just have to be creative.

Anyway, I didn't think about setting it to always active.... I will have to try that...

How about they just make an Update and add Scripting to Static and Dynamic Objects, Explosive Weapons in Mutiplayer after all you are paying Money for grrr Demo Software, because missing Features on Paid software sounds like a Demo to me...You can't even run the Guns Glow Script, It has to be built in or Converted, and Converted Levels are a Pain in the you know what. I'm making a thread about my Mutiplayer Releases, I'm a noob as well but I'm talented at Level Design, and My levels are lag free and will work on Low end Laptops and other computers. XD
