I need some help with making a script that makes anyone who falls into the trigger volume will die, just like in H3MT-Narrows, or like C20 (which is what I'm trying to mod into a MP map)

H3MT Narrows didn't have a killbox. It was just falling damage. But here's your script:

(global short plyrnum 0)

(script continuous blargh
	(if
		(= plyrnum 15)
		(begin
			(set plyrnum 0)
		)
		(begin
			(set plyrnum (+ plyrnum 1))
		)
	)
)

(script continuous killbox
	(if	
		(volume_test_object [TRIGGER VOLUME] (unit (list_get (players) plyrnum)))
		(begin
			(unit_kill (unit (list_get (players) plyrnum)))
		)
	)
)

OK, perfect, but now I need to know HOW to put it into my map (Through Guerilla or Sapien). And btw, I ripped H3MT and it does have Trigger Volumes below the Shotgun spawn point and the rest of the level too.

Well, it should work naturally using falling damage. As for adding it in, you add it in like any other script.

Yes, but the issue NOW is that I don't know HOW to put it in, because this is my first time working with scripts, despite me making multiple maps over the few years...

Find the directory of your map.

Example: tags\levels\test\bloodgulch\lame_bloodgulch_mod.scenario

Go to the data folder with that directory

Example: data\levels\test\bloodgulch

Create the directory if it doesn't exist. Then, create a scripts folder.

Example: data\levels\test\bloodgulch\scripts

Put the script in that folder. Open scenario in Sapien, File > Compile scripts.

Done.

Protip: Using leaked weapons (H3MT stuff) doesn't make you cool.

No, really? Anyways, thanks for the help you guys, I'll try it and I'll let you know if it works.

EDIT:

Ummm...what should I name the script file as?

E.G. crappy_bloodgulch_mod or script?

Name it:

this_script_was_made_by_gamma_and_thus_should_be_treated_like_a_god.hsc

The filename must be a .hsc file.

EDIT:

Now I keep getting a error when I ask Sapien to compile the scripts:

10.17.09 20:33:31 [script line 3] i expected (if <condition> <then> [<else>]).: (if
10.17.09 20:33:31 recompiling scripts after scenarios were merged.

@ 2.

That's improper syntax. In modern programming languages, sure it would be. However, in the Halo Scripting Language, you use the operator before the variable and constant.

Never mind guys, I got some MAJOR help with my script from HDoan just now. Thanks anyways guys. Also, if you want the proper script, here it is:

Quote: from my script
(global short plyrnum 0)

(script continuous ~deathzone
(if
(or
(volume_test_object fall_killer1 (unit (list_get (players) plyrnum)))
(volume_test_object fall_killer2 (unit (list_get (players) plyrnum)))
(volume_test_object fall_killer3 (unit (list_get (players) plyrnum)))
(volume_test_object fall_killer4 (unit (list_get (players) plyrnum)))
(volume_test_object fall_killer5 (unit (list_get (players) plyrnum)))
)
(begin
(unit_kill (unit (list_get (players) plyrnum)))
)
)
(if
(>= plyrnum 15)
(set plyrnum 0)
(set plyrnum (+ 1 plyrnum))
)
)

The only difference is that there's 5 trigger volumes, and the increase plyrnum count script was merged with the killbox. It's also been optimized a bunch.

Of course! That script was from my c20 mod, which now has proper death trigger volumes thanks to HDoan. If you just want to have one, then take out the last 4 fall_killer trigger volumes and name it according to your trigger volume that you want people to die in. (Instead of fall_killer1, put in something like death_space1 or whatever and put in a different number for each kill zone if you have more than one)
