Level Design Tiggering an event at round end.

[spraduke]

Ok so i want to fire an event once an objective is blown up which happens to be the final objective.

Using the axis/allied event in the objective manager don't seem to work as if the events are culled due to the end of the round.

Now back in the mod days at the end of a round some maps had say planes fly over or other such things once the final objective was completed which was probably triggered by an event but i cant work out how to do this.

Anyone got an idea?

Simply call the event tag from the tiggered event property of the final objective or, if there is more than one possible final objective, just put in an AI script to wait until all possible final events have been called then trigger the event. I can go thru it with you this evening if you pm me via #RO-Leveldesign on IRC.

see i tried that to no success (having the final objective event the same as the trigger tag) but it did nothing. Perhaps this is a specific issue with using a counter trigger rather than something else.

Hmm - I wonder if it is connected to the round ending - seems unlikely but you never know.

I have found a work around for this now ( a bit of a hack job ). My next question is:

I want to interrupt a scripted trigger (or the scripted trigger to stop working) when a event is fired. Which ACTION do i need to use and what sequence?


Example of what is wanted:

Scripted trigger: Wait for event--->broadcast message-->Check for event--> If true break loop, if false go back to action 0

Any ideas?

There are two tasks here:

1. Detecting an event has fired
2. Handling it in a scripted sequence

1. must use a TriggeredCondition trigger. This actor saves the triggered state of an event. It's specifically designed to be used in ScriptedSequences with the ACTION_IfCondition.

2. Use ACTION_IfCondition to determine whether or not to break out of the loop.

Hope that helps.

thats the bit i needed. Saw the if condition but couldn't work out how to implement it but obviously i need the triggered condition trigger. Thanks

Are you talking about triggers or tiggers? Because as you know, tiggers are a wonderful thing...

(I know, I'm sorry... )

I thought about mentioning it but didn't. I'm glad someone did, though - thanks, Moe

Ok still need some more help with this.

So i have triggered condition waiting for an event (called Break).

I then want it to stop the current scripted trigger before the next action.

However most of the time i want it to go to the final action. If i use action_ifcondition followed by action_leavesequence (? is this right to stop scripted trigger?) will it go onto action_triggerevent if the ifcondition isn't met?

Ok i think i sussed this out.
You need the ifcondition before you want to break but simply set the triggered condition to true and then toggle it off with an event. Once its off the scripted trigger stops at the ifcondition and never reaches the next action.

Sorry, didn't see your last post.

The IfCondition works like this: if the condition evaluates to true, it falls through to the next statement. If it's false, it jumps to the next EndSection command.

So:

0 IfCondition ...
1 Do some kewl stuff
2 More kewl stuff
3 Goto 0
4 EndSection
5 Continue on our merry way

The above will loop performing steps 0-3 until the condition is false. It then jumps to 4 and continues on to 5.

Make sense?

Or, if you're waiting for an event, I'd set it up like this:

0 IfCondition ...
1 Yay, our event fired
2 Goto 5
3 EndSection
4 Goto 0
5 Continue on our merry way

Here's the UDN entry that covers this: http://udn.epicgames.com/Two/Exampl...RT.html#IfConditions and _TriggeredConditions

Ahh I wasn't sure what happened when it was false. That should help thanks .

Is there a way that you can keep the triggered conditions value (true/false) after a round restarts. Atm the event that sets the condition to false isn't round reset (custom hack job ) so it fires the event only for one round but the next round it doesn't so i need to find another way to set the condition to false (for which im struggling atm)

EDIT:

No need to panic i just edited the Counter so that it fires an event every time is triggered when it reachs 0.
