land mines

Download Code File

the first way I though to make a land mine was to make a projectile that wouldn't explode on collision with the ground but after a while of investigating I thought it might be worth it to do it all in script. So I'll explain what happens.

1. you carry a mine in your hand as a weapon.

2. you "throw" a projectile that looks exactly the same as the weapon.

3. okay now it gets kind of... unrealistic but I don't think anybody will notice in the game. The projectile (mine) hits the ground and goes away, but makes an item replicate that lies half in the ground and waits.

4. The unwary accidentally steps on the land mine. Since its an Item I was having trouble with radius damage and explosions so I decided that I would make a projectile that would do that all for me. So somebody steps on it and it generates a projectile and deletes itself, the projectile explodes making it look like the mine blew up.

I attached a file called mine.cs put that in Starter.fps/server/scripts

I also attached a folder named mine with the .dts files in it put that in starter.fps/data/shapes I have a file structure layed out that will help.

Open Starter.fps/server/scripts/game.cs

under all the exec's at the top of the file put

Exec("./mine.cs");

that runs mine.cs

now we need the player to be able to carry mines go into player.cs and under all the lines that look like this put.

maxInv[mine] = 1;
   maxInv[mineammo] = 10;

now go into starter.fps/client/config.cs

and put this in

moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "the next #", "commandToServer(\'use\',\"mine\");", "");

you obviously should replace the next # with whichever number is next. You could do something like this in starter.fps/client/scripts/default.bind.cs but I don't think it matters
If you want to start with mines than go into game.cs again and near the bottom put

%player.setInventory(mine,1);
   %player.setInventory(mineammo,5);
   %player.mountImage(mineImage,0);

next to all the functions that look like that. You need to delete the old
%player.mountImage(?Image,0);
or else you'll be mounting two things and that doesn't work... I don't think.
Now save everything!


go into your game. To make mines press f11 then f4 and select shapes/weapons/mine or ammo/mine or if you want to make a planted bomb go to shapes/mines/mine2

known issues:

Model and animation is very bad don't use it.

Updates

these were not in the original tutorial.

this is the inc score fix. I have updated the zip so you could replace the mine.cs in that with your old one and that would fix it if you don't want to do that you can go to about line 880 and

under rotate = false;

add

client = %obj.client;

and line 826 and

under initialposition = %pos;

add

client = %obj.client;

that should fix it if not let me know. The new zip also contains the ms3d version of the mine.

I also changed the mines velInheritFactor to 1.0

I also made the mine throw at the correct time in the (slow) animations.
