Hey Guys, I was wondering if some one could help me out regarding putting the VISR script from tsc:e into my own map. I was wondering how exactly i can integrate the VISR script from the cmt_b30_evolved_source_release_scenario 'script' files into my own scenario/map

I have nothing written/scripted in my Equip_test scripts.hsc file as i am unsure what to exactly place in the script to get the VISR working!( I AM A NOOB!)

I've tried to follow the cmt_b30_evolved_source_release_scenario tutorial but i am unsure of how to connect the .hsh and .hs into the primary script .hsc of my scenario.

I am using notepad++ as well as the hspp file from halomaps.org to 'preprocess' my scripts.

Ive put the 'scripts' folder from the cmt_b30_evolved_source_release_scenario dir into my 'data' folder then inside that folder into my Equip_test(scenario name) folder.

this might sound a little confusing i'll try to send a screen shot of how it is setup!

I've also renamed all the 'TEST' and 'test' text in the .hs/.hsh files inside the 'src' folder to my scenario name and aswell as the batch files that preprocess my script (Equip_test).

Whenever i try run hspp_Equip_test the batch file i have the following error:

The system cannot find the path specified
---------------------------------------------

/_components_apis.hs

IOerror: [Errono 2] No such file or directory: 'out/scenarios/test/main/__components_apis.hsc'

..done!

I wish i could send a picture of my directory setup but i dont know how to on these forums!

If anyone could give me a solution or send me a pic of how my directory should be setup in order to get the VISR script working would be much appreciated!

Thanks Ziko

Currently typing up a reply to your PM, should be done in a bit. I'll also paste it here for anyone interested, and if any CMT Evolved team members want to show me a shortcut in the process perhaps.

If you don't want to work with TSC:E's new system (I eventually want to, but I am not to that level yet) I have my VISR script that I created for Sector 09. Haven't finished commenting it yet, but you may find it helpful:

;VISR SCRIPTS===================================================================================================================
(global boolean visr false)
;this determines if VISR is on or off.
(global boolean flashlight_state false)
;This determines the flashlight state.
(global boolean visr_needs_to_toggle false)
;This determines if the VISR needs to toggle due to a flashlight state change.
(global boolean visr_state false)
;This determines the state of VISR. 

;This script defines the player as "Player 0", so that you do not need to call for the player in every single command. 
(script static unit player0
	(unit (list_get (players) 0))
)
;This script ensures that the "print" commands will print. Used for debugging. Place ";" in front in order to redact this command. 
(script startup 420
(set developer_mode 127)
)
;This is the command that is called to turn on the VISR. 
(script static void visr_on 
(print "Turning VISR ON!")
(sound_impulse_start "RZS_Halo\s9\assets\sounds\sfx\visr-on\visr-on" none 1)
(pp_set_effect_instance_fade 0 0 1 0.3)
(pp_set_effect_instance_active 0 1)
(set visr_state true)
)

(script static void visr_off
(print "Turning VISR OFF!")
(sound_impulse_start "RZS_Halo\s9\assets\sounds\sfx\visr-off\visr-off" none 1)
(pp_set_effect_instance_fade 0 1 0 0.25)
(pp_set_effect_instance_active 0 0)
(set visr_state false)
)

(script continuous flashlight_state_check
	(if
		(= (unit_get_current_flashlight_state (player0)) 1)
			(begin
				(set flashlight_state true)
				(set visr true)
				(if
					(= visr_state false)
						(set visr_needs_to_toggle true)
				)
			)
	)		
	(if
		(= (unit_get_current_flashlight_state (player0)) 0)	
			(begin
				(set flashlight_state false)
				(set visr false)
				(if
					(= visr_state true)
						(set visr_needs_to_toggle true)
				)
			)
	)		
)
(script continuous visr_set
	(if
		(and
		(= flashlight_state true)
		(= visr true)
		)
		(begin
			(if
				(= visr_needs_to_toggle true)
				(begin
					(visr_on)
					(set visr_needs_to_toggle false)
				)
			)
		)
	)
	(if
		(and
		(= flashlight_state false)
		(= visr false)
		)
		(begin
			(if
			(= visr_needs_to_toggle true)
				(begin
					(visr_off)
					(set visr_needs_to_toggle false)
				)
			)
		)

	)
)

Hope this helps!

Hey dude thanks for getting back to me and uploading a tutorial about this!

But i am still suffering issues after following all your steps in the tutorial.

I am suffering errors when compiling the scripts in OS_sapien which is preventing me to create my .map file, Im sure it is an issue between the 5 .hsc scripts in my 'data/levels/EQUIPTEST/scripts' folder , i have a feeling that there conflicting with eachother.

###NOTES###

#I have enabled the VISR script in the cmt_features file located in my 'MFOLDER' and then ran the batch file.

#I have placed the armor_module VISR in my map but i cannot equip or use it. :(

#I have already followed your tutorials including: Installing, Folder and File Creation, File Editing / Find-Replacing, Preprocessing, Level Globals, Sapien Prep and Armor Abilities (Modules?)

###Steps I followed to try get it working!###

I compiled the scripts with my hssp_EQUIPTEST.bat file and received the 'out' folder that contains 5 hsc files ( __components_apis, _components_cmt,_components_globals, _components_scenario and _components_shared).

I then copied these files from the 'MFOLDER' <- (This files on the desktop) into my halo directory 'data/levels/EQUIPTEST/scripts' folder.

I also have my pre-exsisting scripts.hsc file in the 'data/levels/EQUIPTEST/scripts' folder for my map to run!

I then opened my .scenario file in OS_Sapien and tried to compile the scripts but I receive the following error ' bellow.

As previously stated i believe they are conflicting with eachother as i have noted out (;;) in Notepad++ the particular variable among the compiled .hsc files and that has worked but causes other multiple errors and conflict between the scripts!

I would really appreciate if you or anyone could provide me a solution to this! or telling me that i have done something wrong!

I really want the VISR feature in my map! Thanks Ziko
