mission area

[DaJ4ck3L]

use client tags. shooterclient / damagedclient in the on damage function.

and this for the leave / enter functions.

%client = Player::getClient(%this);

Replace %friendlyfire = true; with return;

Don't do what crow said. That had nothing to do with anything.

Replace %friendlyfire = true; with return;

makes it easier to use in other functions.

[perrinoia]

Oh, I see what Crow is talking about, now.
%object is shooter client, not player.

Code: Select all

	if(!%this.outArea || !Client::getControlObject(%object).outArea)
	{
		Client::sendMessage(%object, 0, "Shooter and target must be out of the mission area to cause or receive damage.");
		return;
	}

He wanted you to set Player::getClient(%this).outArea = 1; in function Player::leaveMissionArea(%this) and set Player::getClient(%this).outArea = ""; in function Player::enterMissionArea(%this) as well as leaving %this.outArea = 1; and %this.outArea = ""; in both functions so you could use clientID and playerID interchangeably in function Player::onDamage...

My suggestion is easier.

[perrinoia]

Strange. You're missing the line %player.outArea = ""; but that should have no effect on the message playing.

Sorry, I searched in base 1.40 and deleted the sub-directories, assuming everything else would be the same. I was wrong.

game.cs is executed when the server starts, but objectives.cs is executed every time a mission starts, so I could see how changes made to game.cs might get overlooked, if the mission ever changed. Likewise, if you modified objectives.cs, and your first mission doesn't execute that file, then I could see how it might get overlooked.

I'd modify all of them just to be on the safe side, or delete all but one to ensure the others don't overwrite the custom one.

However, I doubt this is what is going wrong for you, either... I'm betting the function isn't being called regardless of where it's stored.

Something is fishy with your mission area detection... That's my guess.

Are there any syntax errors in the console?

[perrinoia]

Oh... That makes so much sense.

I highly suggest using Crimson Editor's "Find in Files" feature, by the way.
