need help with a trigger script

[nonplusultra]

Yo, I've tried to make my own artillery script. the script shall place every 3 seconds an artillery strike at the current actor in the trigger.

the good thing is that it works - but only for one actor, if there is a second or more actors in the trigger the script does nothing.

 

scn SkyScraperArtillerySCRIPT

float timer
float timer2
float timer3
float timer4
float timer5
short count
short fire
int random
ref ractor
ref rtarget
ref self
ref self2
ref self3
ref lself
ref lself2
ref lself3

begin OnTriggerEnter
set rActor to GetActionRef	
if rActor.GetPlayerTeammate == 1
	return
endif
if rActor.GetInFaction PlayerFaction
;		;set fire to 0
;		;set rTarget to 0
;		;set Count to Count - 1
	return
elseif self == 0
	set self to getactionref
elseif self2 == 0
	set self2 to getactionref
elseif self3 == 0
	set self3 to getactionref
endif
	set fire to 1
	set count to count +1

end

begin OnTriggerLeave

set rActor to GetActionRef	
if rActor.GetPlayerTeammate == 1
	return
endif
if rActor.GetInFaction PlayerFaction
	return
elseif (self == rActor)
	set self to 0
	;set lself to GetActionRef
elseif (self2 == rActor)
	set self2 to 0
elseif (self3 == rActor)
	set self3 to 0
;elseif lself2 == 0
;	set lself2 to GetActionRef
;elseif lself3 == 0
;	set lself3 to GetActionRef
endif
set Count to Count - 1

end

begin GameMode

if fire == 1
	if ( timer < 3 )
               set timer to ( timer + GetSecondsPassed )
else
		rtarget.placeatme FXNellisArtilleryStrike01 1 1
			set timer to 0
			set fire to 2
	endif
endif
if fire == 2
	if ( timer2 < 3 )
               set timer2 to ( timer2 + GetSecondsPassed )
else
		rtarget.placeatme FXNellisArtilleryStrike01 1 1
			set timer2 to 0
			set fire to 3
	endif
endif
if fire == 3
	if ( timer3 < 3 )
               set timer3 to ( timer3 + GetSecondsPassed )
else
		rtarget.placeatme FXNellisArtilleryStrike01 1 1
			set timer3 to 0
			set fire to 4
	endif
endif
if fire == 4
	if ( timer4 < 3 )
               set timer4 to ( timer4 + GetSecondsPassed )
else
		rtarget.placeatme FXNellisArtilleryStrike01 1 1
			set timer4 to 0
			set fire to 5
	endif
endif
if fire == 5
	if ( timer5 < 3 )
               set timer5 to ( timer5 + GetSecondsPassed )
else
		rtarget.placeatme FXNellisArtilleryStrike01 1 1
			set timer5 to 0
			set fire to 1
	endif
endif

	set Random to GetRandomPercent
	if Random >= 0 && self != 0 && self.GetDead == 0
		set rTarget to self
	endif
	if Random >= 33 && self2 != 0 && self2.GetDead == 0
		set rTarget to self2
	endif
	if Random >= 67 && self3 != 0 && self3.GetDead == 0
		set rTarget to self3
	endif
	if rTarget == 0 || rTarget.GetDead
set Count to Count - 1
		set rTarget to 0
		return
	endif

if Count <= 0 
	set fire to 0
	set Count to 0
	set rTarget to 0
endif

end

 

hope anyone is able to help me ;>

If this script only works for one actor,probably your problem is that all "Self" are being used by the same actor,you need a better check to filter equals Selfs .

try putting this in the GameMode :

 

if self == Self2 || Self == Self3

set self to 0

endif

if Self2 == self3

set self2 to 0

endif

Using == to compare references is not recommended. I have not found a link which says exactly why, but many links say to use getisreference instead. References: bethsoft tutorial, cipscis tutorial. See the getisreference page for syntax.
