Hey can anyone tell me how to like make a single player map, I see an option in guerilla that is under map types I think it says single multiplayer UI is that how I make a multiplayer map a single player map? And how do I like make ai spawn under certain conditions, like ai spawn when this location is reached or ai spawn here after this encounter or ai is killed?

the option in guerilla is under skys, hit chose solo. There is a tutorial on here somewere, look up " Polor bears SP Map Tutorial". It'll explain how easy AI's are to place. I recommend learning how to script them in, but telling sapien to spawn them is easyer.

Yes when I build the script can i like copy it from the tutorial and it still work? And can It be a .txt file?

Scripts must be .hsc files, else they will not be detected by the compiler. Also, the command to place AI when the player is inside a trigger volume is:

(script startup tvol
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects tvol (players)) 15)
(ai_place ai)
)

The AI encounter is called ai, and the trigger volume is called tvol.

Oh because I can't do .hsc files

then open the file in notepad. And save it as a new file. But this time change it froma .txt file to a "all files" (its a little drag box where it says change file type) and after thats been changed. put a .hsc at the end of your file

I can do txt doc not note pad but that could work.

Use notepad to create scripts. When you want to save it, go to Save As, change ".txt files" to "all files", and in the name, add a .hsc after it. So fill it in with script.hsc, or something like that.

I right clicked on my mouse and looked under new and it wasn't there.

notepad wasn't there? odd, but anything will work i guess. just click save as and chose save as type "all files", make sure it's ANSI encoded (that should be the default so don't worry about it) and make sure you save it as something like "my_script.hsc".

I have windows 7.

Why do you need to right click and find a new? Steps:

1) Open notepad.
2) Type stuff
3) Go to File > Save As
4) Follow the picture, select all types, and save it as script.hsc in your scripts folder


BTW, this is Windows 7 also.

players? what do I put under the players space?

It's filled out for you.... Leave it as players. The only thing you should have to replace is the name of the trigger volume, and the AI encounter.

are those the right letters to enter?
(script startup tvol(sleep_until (volume_test_objects tvol (players)) 15)(ai_place elite minor plasma rifle

Like that? and do I need to include the .actor variant?

What...

Let me re-iterate. Instead of filling it in for you, I'm going to give you the blanks to fill in.

Here's the key:
-[AI] - Name of an AI encounter.
-[TVOL] - Name of a trigger volume.
-[NAME] - Name of script. Put anything you want.

(script startup [NAME]
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects [TVOL] (players)) 15)
(ai_place [AI])
)

Edit: Hey, I like this new way of expressing blanks. I'm using it from now on :D

Do I include the space too?
Dude what the heck it didn't work look

Unless your trigger volume is called [spawn], it won't work, BECAUSE you didn't take off the [ and the ]. You should put spawn, and (ai_place test)

nvm it worked but now I am having trouble with a sv_say command look (script startup sv say
(sv_say "Hello World!!!") ;; display message))

Doesn't work in SP maps, because it requests that the server print out the text.

I know I changed it to multiplayer
The map is Christmas_yoyorast_island_final

Then your trigger volume script won't work anymore.

What? Why? it was originally a multiplayer map dude and I want it to be sv_say

Trigger volume scripts don't work in MP if the object referred to is "players".

Instead (credit to Gamma) you should create a variable which is set to 0 and adds one to itself every script cycle, and resets itself to 0 once it reaches 15. This will loop through the player list (0-15). Then, you can refer to them in a trigger volume script using:

(list_get (players) [Insert Variable name] )

As opposed to (players).

Of course, you could always create 16 separate scripts for each individual player list, but the above works best.

Script (again credit to Gamma and KS):

(global short x 0)

(script continuous yay	
(if 
(volume_test_object tvol (list_get (players) x))
[INSERT STUFF HERE] 
)
)

(script continuous increase_reset	
(set x (+ x 1))	
(if		
(> x 15)		
(set x 0)	))

the scripts name is sv_say where does that go? And also I do use the script part which is under ai for a script like this right?

*sigh*

Just copy down the script I made, and use it. The trigger volume's name is tvol.

Here's a comprehensive breakdown of the script (because I'm bored)

Creates a variable. Makes the variable loop through 0 - 15 faster than you can blink. So any script that references x, will essentially run it 16 times, with 0 replacing x for the first, 1 for the second, and so forth.

Whenever a player enters the trigger volume, the server will say: HAI GUIZ. If you can't find where in the script to change that, you officially need to get glasses (or a higher prescription if you have them). All you have to do is change HAI GUIZ to whatever you want the server to say.

I explained the script above.

I believe that you posted BEFORE I posted my script. My script includes the sv_say command.

Oh yes guys I have another question can I like put multiple scripts in one notepad doc or do I have to make seperate scripts in a doc everytime I want it to like make an ai spawn?

You can put multiple scripts in one .hsc file.

Okay cool thanks for telling me that .
