Command Post - making a panzer bug

[evillair]

The bug: When on Axis the Panzer doesn't lose his recharge bar (stays full all the time).

I have 1 command post in my map; it's an allied command post.

When I remove the command post section of from my .script it works fine, the axis panzer's charge bar lowers like it's supposed to.

I've double checked things over and over and I don't see the problem with the command post script. :banghead:

Maybe someone else can see where this is comming from.

Here's my Allied command post script.
The command post is objective 7.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm not sure what the problem is, and I doubt this is related, but you never know how the inner workings of these things will go...

...you don't need built final death final etc for single stage constructions. Just built, buildstart, death, decayed are fine. Like I say, I doubt that is the problem, but trying anything is always a good idea when you're stuck :)

[evillair]

Well, removing this section in my script solved the problem, logicaly I assumed this is the problem. :)


By the life of me I ave no clue what would cause this bug. I'm not even calling any axis data in that script.

[[rD]MrPink]

trigger setup
{
setchargetimefactor 1 soldier 1
I REALLY hope you know what that means.

[chavo_one]

MrPink] trigger setup
{
setchargetimefactor 1 soldier 1
I REALLY hope you know what that means.
:???:

It means the allied soldier's charge bar recharges at the normal rate. What did you think it means?

[[rD]MrPink]

when you put in a value of 1, if I'm not mistake, it should set the charge time of the soldier to near instantaneous.

[evillair]

That's how the other command post scripts are aswell. Ontop of that it's the Axis that get the bug not the Allies, that's what makes it even more odd.

[damocles]

The 1 is a multiplier for the default recharge time. So if the normal recharge time is 30 seconds, then 1 = 30 and 0.5 = 15. etc.

[[rD]MrPink]

why can't charge values in the console and script work the same?
:'(

[damocles]

because that would make mapping too easy. Geez, do you want everyone to know how easy this mapping lark is!? It's like the magic circle, it seems really clever, but it's not. It's just they don't know it :D

[evillair]

No one has a clue as to what would cause this?

I need to resolve this so I can finish my map. :\

[Ragnar_40k]

Because these 2 are different things. The server admin can set the recharge times to whatever he wants and the command post scripts will still work by applying the factor. If you wish you can set the recharge values directly in your map scripts, overriding all server admins out there:
cvar g_soldierChargeTime set 1000

I tried it and it didn't work.

I just noticed that this bug happens to the mortar too.

I can't release this map till I fix this. Playing a map where panzer and mortars have no charge bar is insane. :banghead:

Anyone know of a workaround?

[evillair]

Sorry for the double post...

If I remove what is red from the script it works fine (no charge bar bug) until the allies build the command post for the first time then the bug stays. :bored:

allies_radio_built
{
spawn
{
wait 400

constructible_class 2
trigger allies_radio_built setup
}

[evillair]

{bump}

I still haven't fixed my problem, can anyone help me?

If I can't fix this I can't release my map...

[damocles]

Have you tried different numbers for the soldier recharge? Try using 2 instead of 1 and see what happens. You need to pin down if it really is the script causing it or if it is something else. If you set the charge times high like to 10 or something then you would get a batter idea of what is really happening. It might be the charge bar is filling really quickly but you don't notice it because of the short time to full charge.

It does seem odd though, because the bit you say you can removce to make it work doesn't affect the axis team, onyl the allies.

[evillair]

I fixed the problem, don't ask me how though. :P

[Argh]

Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :drink:

Now hurry man :)
