Well, I've had a chain script, with the issue that if you left 1 enemy alive, the script wont continue until he is dead.

I've tried something, and this is the result

(script startup test_0
(ai_allegiance player flood)
(wake test_1)
(wake test_3)
(wake test_4)
(wake test_5)
(wake test_6)
(wake test_7)
(wake test_8)
)
(script dormant test_1
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects trigger_1 (players))15)
(ai_place flood_turret)
)
(script dormant test_3
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects trigger_2 (players))15)
(ai_place flood_citadel_1)
(sleep_until (= (ai_living_count covenant_citadel_1) 0) 15)
(game_save)
)
(script dormant test_4
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects trigger_3 (players))15)
(ai_place covenant_citadel_2)
(ai_place flood_citadel_2)
(sleep_until (= (ai_living_count covenant_citadel_2) 0) 15)
(game_save)
)
(script dormant test_5
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects trigger_4 (players))15)
(ai_place covenant_citadel_3)
(ai_place flood_citadel_3)
(game_save)
)
(script dormant test_6
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects trigger_5 (players))15)
(ai_place flood_commander)
(sleep_until (= (ai_living_count covenant_citadel_3) 0) 15)
(game_save)
)
(script dormant test_7
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects trigger_6 (players))15)
(ai_place covenant_top)
(ai_place flood_top)
(sleep_until (= (ai_living_count covenant_top) 0) 15)
(game_save)
)
(script dormant test_8
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects trigger_7 (players))15)
(ai_place covenant_room)
(ai_place sentinels)
(sleep 5)
(object_destroy door_1)
(sleep 1)
(ai_place flood_room)
(sleep_until (= (ai_living_count covenant_room) 0) 15)
(game_won)
)

I dont know if this script works... but until the error is fixed i wont be able to find out :P


Yet i got an error wich is;

03.12.09 17:41:46 [script_2 line 3] this is not a valid script name.: test_1)

03.12.09 17:41:46 recompiling scripts after scenarios were merged.
03.12.09 17:41:46 [script_2 line 1] this left parenthesis is unmatched.: (script startup test_0

Cant find the error though..

Put your script startup at the end. With it at the beginning, the dormant scripts aren't defined yet

I'll try that.

Why do you even need dormant scripts? Just make them startup. There's no problem with that. Create a startup that sleeps until a player is in the trigger volume, and it'll automatically work when the player enters. No dormant is needed.

If that's the way he wants to organize it, that's fine. I personally would do it that way too, because I like having just one startup that starts everything else, sort of like a parent script for every other script.

It's more organized that way too. Personally, I prefer static scripts and a startup script, though. Depending on what it is, anyway.
