This is a normal H2 grenade explosion with H3 spikes, but I added a little flair . . . 17 pieces of flair, lol. Only the first explosion has damage. At first I did this so I could show the mortar effect closer to the ground. CMT weapons, Jesse's HUD upcoming map - New Years Island, fully playable all game types. (yeah, I know, ugh another death island variant)

UPDATE 1/1/2011:

What's a new years map without some music? Did that and put some stank on it! Lights are sync'ed with music (89 bpm music, added effect that fires off in rythm)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbXbRKdvu6k

Now there are 5 locations that all mortars fire from all around the island:

Request for custom basic script for the fireworks map:

I have 4 custom device machines which fire off some firework effects, each device is set as initially off. I also have created device groups, which might help (? dunno - they are named reds, greens, blues and poppers) Now I would like to vajazzle it abit:

First

I would like to customize the script to fire off these in successive groups, meaning, fire off 6 red mortars at once then fire off 6 green mortars at once then fire off 6 blue mortars at once then fire off 6 popper mortars at once then STOP

Second

(a)

I would like to fire off green mortar 1 then sleep 3 seconds then fire off green mortar 2 then sleep 3 seconds then fire off green mortar 3 then sleep 3 seconds then fire off green mortar 5 then sleep 3 seconds then fire off green mortar 6 then STOP

(b)

I would like to fire off red mortar 1 then sleep 3 seconds then fire off red mortar 2 then sleep 3 seconds then fire off red mortar 3 then sleep 3 seconds then fire off red mortar 5 then sleep 3 seconds then fire off red mortar 6 then STOP

(c)

I would like to fire off blue mortar 1 then sleep 3 seconds then fire off blue mortar 2 then sleep 3 seconds then fire off blue mortar 3 then sleep 3 seconds then fire off blue mortar 5 then sleep 3 seconds then fire off blue mortar 6 then STOP

(d)

I would like to fire off popper mortar 1 then sleep 3 seconds then fire off popper mortar 2 then sleep 3 seconds then fire off popper mortar 3 then sleep 3 seconds then fire off popper mortar 5 then sleep 3 seconds then fire off popper mortar 6 then STOP

Third

I would like to fire off 1 blue mortar and 1 green mortar then sleep 3 seconds then fire off 1 red mortar and 1 popper mortar then STOP

Final, put the THREE (First, Second, Third) in a continuous loop, with about a 10 second pause between loops

Currently I am using this script below, and I understand each one placed needs to be named, and by doing the above, I may need many many named instances, such as mortar1, mortar2 - etc.

I would prefer if they are named in the script and numbered according to their group (or as device groups such as reds, greens, blues, poppers if that is better), such as firstmortar1_red, firstmortar2_red OR second_a_mortar1_red, second_a_mortar2_red OR second_b_mortar1_red, second_b_mortar2_red

Just need a script (see above request description) any takers?


Edit: I guess not - bad timing everyone is out. The map will be released when I have a working script - this will make the map playable for multiplayer, but also display the fireworks well.

As you can see, I need some help with the script so as to reduce too many particles at once, I wish someone would volunteer! (see earlier post).

I'm not a scripter - would like some help, or a re-write - so as to show most particles. I would also like to see some script magic, such as the blue mortar firing off in succession at each location separated by about 3 seconds - there are five locations, then the red, then the green, etc to create a wave effect, then to do the same with each of the others: red wave, green wave, blue wave and a finale with the poppers all at once, or wave, then reverse directions. Come on, someone's gotta have the moxy, please step up.

Okok, Slappy's here.
Make each wave a static script. Static scripts are like little script sequences you can "call on" at other times, as many times as you want.
(script static void blue_wave
(device_set_power blue1 1)
(sleep 50)
(device_set_power blue2 1)
(sleep 50)
(device_set_power blue3 1)
(sleep 50)
(device_set_power blue1 0)
(device_set_power blue1 0)
(device_set_power blue1 0)
)

Then you can say "blue_wave" in a script and get the blue wave to go on demand.
(script startup newyear
...do stuff...
(blue_wave)
(sleep 20)
(red_wave)
)
In that script, 20 is the offset between the start of the blue wave and red wave. The script doesn't wait for the blue wave to finish before going on tho the red wave.

You can also use continuous scripts to make things run in a loop.
(script continuous always_pop
(device_set_power popper5 1)
(sleep 50)
(device_set_power popper5 0)
)
That makes popper5 go off on a loop.

Then, you can use variables for stuff. Like static scripts, you have to "define" them before the newyear script runs them all. Like, if you wanted to make the fireworks speed up and up before stopping.
(global short PAUSE 3000)
(script continuous fire_increasing
(if (> PAUSE 0)
(device_set_power green1 1)
(sleep PAUSE)
(device_set_power green1 0)
(set PAUSE (- PAUSE 100))
)
)
This will fire green1 at at interval of 3000, and every time that interval will go down by 100. When it hits 0, it stops, because the script checks if the number is greater than 0 first.

Oh, and if you posted that script on Modacity, you would be banned- beginning begin statements are an offense in the first degree.

I attempted variations of this, ending in:

01.02.11 16:57:44  [newyearsisland line 3] i expected (if   []).: (if (> PAUSE 0)
01.02.11 16:57:44  recompiling scripts after scenarios were merged.
01.02.11 16:57:44  this left parenthesis is unmatched.: (if (> PAUSE 0)


Correct syntax, please?

Edit: code window is edited by the forums sanitation I guess, it says "I expected if 'condition' 'then' 'else' "
