Need help with Sript loop (MP\'s artillery script)

[vitoal125 0]

I tried to do MP's script for artillery, but the script won't loop. One shell falls from the sky and thats it. I think it is a problem with the goto commands, i put them in exactly like MP posted here, is this how they need to be or do I need to change something to make the goto's work?

What script was that? (posted 2 artilary script's up here in the past).

_Centre = _this select 0

_area = _this select 1

_guns = _this select 2

_freq = _this select 3

_rounds = _this select 4

_delay = _this select 5

_CentrePos = GetMarkerPos _Centre

_cx = _CentrePos select 0

_cy = _CentrePos select 1

_areaX2 = _area * 2

~_delay

_ammoType = "Heat120"

#Update

? (ariStop == 1) : goto "End"

_a = _guns + 1

_a = _a - 1

#Salvo

_tempObj = _ammoType camCreate[_cx + Random(_areaX2) - _area,_cy + Random(_areaX2) - _area,50]

~0.01

~0.4

_a = _a - 1

_tempObj = objNull

? (_a > 0) : goto "Salvo"

_rounds = _rounds - _guns

~_freq - (_guns * 0.4)

? (_rounds > 0) : goto "Update"

#End

exit

Now... that's it perfect Ok...

That's my heavy artilary script....

_Centre = _this select 0

_area = _this select 1

_guns = _this select 2

_freq = _this select 3

_rounds = _this select 4

_delay = _this select 5

_CentrePos = GetMarkerPos _Centre

_cx = _CentrePos select 0

_cy = _CentrePos select 1

_areaX2 = _area * 2

~_delay

_ammoType = "Grenade"

#Update

? (ariStop == 1) : goto "End"

_a = _guns + 1

_a = _a - 1

#Salvo

_tempObj = _ammoType camCreate[_cx + Random(_areaX2) - _area,_cy + Random(_areaX2) - _area,50]

~0.01

~0.4

_a = _a - 1

_tempObj = objNull

? (_a > 0) : goto "Salvo"

_rounds = _rounds - _guns

~_freq - (_guns * 0.4)

? (_rounds > 0) : goto "Update"

#End

exit

And this is my Light artilary script...

Both use the

["Targetmarker",Spread,Guns,Reloadtime,Ammo,Delay] exec "heavy/light artilary.sqs" INIT.

(are you getting any error messages 'n' s**t?)

i used the light artillery script just like it is there, no errors or anything, but it only shoots one shell. I have 10 guns and 200 ammo, but still only one shot.

d*amn.. it work's fine for me.

Just a wild guess but try removeing the " " mark's from goto "End" and goto "Salvo" .

This souldent make any difference on how the script run's but it might fix it...

OR leave your E-mail and i'll send a samlpe mission.

MP 2 q. how old r u? and do u know c++?

[vitoal125 0]

ok, go ahead and send me a sample mission then because I really need to know how to make loops in scripts for things other than artillery also. email is vitoal125@msn.com

[MP 0]

25 and I know it fairly well

Problem...

My ISP says "it can't send to that RESPhost". Do you have an alternate address?

[Rob 1]

like i said in the message... send it to RED for me to see if that works cuz i dont have no other address.

if its under 1.50megs then u can try and send it to my school one. ggra01@sjlhs.suffolk.sch.uk

<span id='postcolor'>

No! This was for vitoal125. (lol)

My ISP is very picky about resipient's (?!)

[vitoal125 0]

It won't go through to my msn email? thats rather strange. I might still have my yahoo account VitoAL125@yahoo.com

[Rob 1]

well if he can't send me my mission to my yahoo address i dont think he can do the same.

btw MP i copied ur artillary script and added the line <span style='color:red'>["Targetmarker",Spread,Guns,Reloadtime,Ammo,Delay] exec "heavy artilary.sqs"</span> in a trigger and it wouldn't recognise the comma after the ammo.

and do u add a marker? calling it targetmarker?

[vitoal125 0]

no need for the sample mission anymore, I found out where the problem was. When I copied it over from the forum, you had left spaces after the commands and I never took them out. After I deleted all the extra spaces, it worked like a charm. Thanx

[MP 0]

Yes, example:

["marker1",200,5,10,200,10] exec "heavy artilary.sqs"

add a marker to the map called marker1 (or whatever u want).

[Rob 1]

wot a d**k

.. i just put it in how it was..... SLAP!! SLAP!!
