For example, use it to place/create a marine on the ground and make him run a circle... I know that GBS I didnt allow this, which was my main reason for asking, after I saw the comment above regarding the creation of a 'away mission'.Yes. In fact, just these past two days I've been written several extensive tutorials over in the Beta discussion forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberto Posted February 14, 2002 Report Share Posted February 14, 2002 Do scripts have to be defined as missions, or can a script be left running in the background as you roam, so that it is triggered to do something under certain events. Just a few examples... 1.. You write a script to make Galcom launch a ship as a escort when your badly dammaged, so it comes to your aid. Yes. e.g. code:.galcomhq events !damaged player 50 launch military,sunflash,2,escort player broadcast "Sending a pair of Sunflash escorts" endevents 2.. When you aquire a certain artifact, it upsets one of the other races and causes them to turn against you because you have stolen their tech. You can, but it would be complicated. Especially since there is no direct method of detecting the player's cargo contents via a script. You'd have to script a an object (cargopod, ship etc) to have the item. Then use a trigger to determine if the player collects that item. At which point you can then use the MOD_ALLIANCE to set the alliance matrix e.g. say it was a Vesperon pod containing the item, this command would make the Terrans and Vesperons extremely hostile toward each other. e.g. code:mod_alliance terran,vesperon,0 mod_alliance vesperon,terran,0 3.. Entering restriced areas will cause you to be hunted down (ships are launched to intercept you, or spawned from another location). If you know how to actually write a script, you should know the answer to this one. Just a few ideas I had..

Roberto Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 Great. Actualy, I havent done any scripting for BC3K in a long long time, only because at the time, my PC was running too slow (its upgraded now). Im really looking forward to trying my hand on the new GBS-II, just to see what ideas I can come up with for BCM. It will be a very nice change from the scripting Im doing at the moment. Cant wait to see it SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent heard any one mention it for a while, so I figured I would ask to see what you had planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spuzzum Posted February 27, 2002 Report Share Posted February 27, 2002 Shhhhh! If you keep asking, you'll spoil it for those who are silently lurking in the shadows for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Cmdr Posted February 27, 2002 Report Share Posted February 27, 2002 Yes, I am. In fact I released the full version to the testers yesterday, along with the final patch. The general consensus is to not release it to the public until I'm done with the docs. I will spend some time with it in the coming days. Gimme about a week or so. I've been buried between BCM patch, mp, XP1 etc etc and sitting down doing docs is just a boring venture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberto Posted February 27, 2002 Report Share Posted February 27, 2002 Sure, no rush. I hear ya when you talk about doing docs though LOL Thats one thing I try to avoid doing at work because all I want to do is get the rest of my work finished and tested before my customers start crying out for their software. Ah the joys of development *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... you could release it sans-documentation for us programmer types, and just ban anyone who whines about not understanding something...

Not to rush you or anything, I'm just curious. Did you get any chance to make some progress on the documentation?

Supreme Cmdr Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 I think I'll release it with the next patch and with the skeleton docs that I have. That should get aspiring modders started - especially if they already have BC3K GBS experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Cmdr Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 Dunno. I was going to release them with the last patch, but Gallion and guys talked me out of it; due to the deluge of question which would erupt therein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
