(script startup myfirefight

(script dormant loop

the scripts being called have to be above the scripts calling them, if i'm not mistaken. Instead try


(script dormant ai
(ai_place odst)
(ai_place alien)
(ai_magically_see_players alien)
(sleep_until (<= (ai_living_count alien) 0))
(sv_say "wave complete")
(sleep 150)
(wake loop)
)

(script dormant loop
(wake ai)
)

(script startup myfirefight
(sv_say "welcome to my firefight")
(sleep 150)
(wake loop)
)


though i'm not sure if the loop call in the AI script will work. Lol.

Make one of the dormant scripts a static void.

You're trying to wake loop before it's defined, halo will rage. Also, if this is meant to loop, why aren't you using a continuous script?..... the planning in this script doesnt really seem to exist lol.


(script continuous ai
     (sleep 150)
     (ai_place odst)
     (ai_place alien)
     (ai_magically_see_players alien)
     (sleep_until (<= (ai_living_count alien) 0))
     (sv_say "wave complete")
)
(script startup myfirefight
     (sv_say "welcome to my firefight")
)

By putting the sleep 150 at the top, it still waits the 150 for the first time, as well as all future times (since it returns to the top after it hits the bottom, so it just waits there instead) The startup preforms the one hello, and that's it.


Also, you're script error where it gives you unicode characters.. that's because your saving as unicode, don't do that, halo doesn't like unicode.

First of all,kirby,"loop" is the name of the script,not a command.The script is a simplified version of some another script I found so I don't know about that stuff.
How would you "define" it?

Secondly,2+ people edited it,so I don't have any idea how it works anymore.

Why did Bungie use unicode for hud messages? So misleading! :(
I blame whoever told me to reverse the order of the commands.

EDIT:Now it says that the first parenthesis is unmatched.What should I do?

Kirby, I think both mine and your methods won't work very well actually.
Mine, because it's re-waking itself essentially, and yours because it will wait 160 frames each time it cycles through.

DELETED SCRIPT EXAMPLES

EDIT: Nevermind you were right Kirby, I didn't see that sleep in the ai script. xD
