Triggering events help

[Spaztrooper]

I am new to the GECK and just started learning scripting.

 

My question: If the player were to activate an object how could I make an event or object appear because of that action?

 

Ex: I activate a button and sandbags appear around a town.

 

Much appreciated,

You would attach a script with an OnActivate block to the object. So in its most basic form...

 

 

SCN activationscpt


Begin OnActivate Player ;only applies to the player


Player.additem Caps001 5 ;adds five caps to players inventory


End

That script would add 5 caps every time the player interacts with the object.

Still stuck? Go through the G.E.C.K. tutorials until you understand.

I understand this but I guess what I should have asked is: How do I use this type of script (activating an object) to add objects (cars, houses, turrets) to the map not the players inventory. Would I use the objects ID and some how link it to where I want it to appear?...

Well one way to do it is to place the object where you want it in the G.E.C.K. and double click it, give its reference a name (for example, objectAREF) and tick initially disabled.

 

So you would change the script to...

SCN activationscpt


short doOnce


Begin OnActivate Player ;only applies to the player


if (doOnce == 0) && (objectAREF.GetDisabled == 1)
objectAREF.enable ;makes your object appear in game
set doOnce to 1
else
return
endif


End

return
endif


End

 

I do believe this will help! Thanks.
