sirglider 0 Posted February 23, 2004 Hi all, I can't figure out why the fire command doesn't work in my intro. If I copy exacty all the units in the mission part and let it run, my tanks fire perfectly: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">mytank fire "Shell" But now if I try exactly the same in my intro part, it doesn't work. <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">mytank fire# "Shell"; unknown variableSomething like that. Could someone help me? Thx! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blanco 0 Posted February 23, 2004 Are there any other (intensive) scripts running during that scene? Quote[/b] ]mytank fire# "Shell"; unknown variable Something like that. What is it exactly? AFAIK there no such error message like unknown variable... reserved variable maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sirglider 0 Posted February 24, 2004 Ok, my error looks more like:<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">m1097 fire# "SWI_155mmSPA"; fire unknown operator (It's for the test mission of our outcoming Swiss M109 Kawest) So an idea?

Taurus 20 Posted February 24, 2004 Ok, my error looks more like:<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">m1097 fire# "SWI_155mmSPA"; fire unknown operator (It's for the test mission of our outcoming Swiss M109 Kawest) So an idea? is "SWI_155mmSPA" the name of the gun, or the shell? if it is the shell, you need to change it to the gun.

Blanco 0 Posted February 24, 2004 yes, taurus could be right maybe this could help : With this small, one line command placed the players or AI's Initialization field, you can get the names of both the weapon and the ammo it fires. (in a hint) <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> this addeventhandler ["fired",{hint format ["Name of shot is: %1,%2", (_this select 2),(_this select 4)]}] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Death 0 Posted February 26, 2004 What a waiste of ammo Blanco A simple: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">hint format ["%1\n%2",weapons unit,magazines unit] would have done the same No offense meant Blanco ~S~ CD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sirglider 0 Posted February 28, 2004 Hi All! Thanks for all your answers. I don't have that much time to play OFP those days. But I see all your answers and tried some of them. So my tank has following weapons: SWI_155mmSPA, SWI_MG12_7 and SWI_SmokeL and the magazines have the same names. I've also checked that in the game with yours methods. But my bug is further. If I do a simple intro the command Quote[/b] ]mytank fire "SWI_155mmSPA" works. Also the one with array and the one with the action ["fire","SWI_155mmSPA"].But in my intro, I don't have the command, cause it's a cutscene and the problem seems to be here. For exactly the same situation, but with a camera in my intro, the following error is returned: Quote[/b] ]mytank |#|fire ["SWI_155mmSPA","SWI_155mmSPA"]: Error Opérateur inconnu fireIt's in french, but the error message should look the same in english.It gives me the same result with the fire "SWI_155mmSPA" action. So an other idea guys? Thx for your help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Death 0 Posted February 28, 2004 sirglider - check out if you are using the reserved variable fire somewhere else in another way than it's supposed to be, in your intro - this could be an explanation for your problem then  ~S~ CD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sirglider 0 Posted February 28, 2004 That's it! You've found the solution. It was a realy basic mistake from me. I put at the beginning of my script a "variable":<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">fire = 0which means it disable the fire command. That's why ofp didn't want to fire anymore! Thx for your help guys! Good sight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
