Mad Cow strike simulation

[MiG2003 0]

I'm almost finnishing my animals pack for Farmland Mod and i want to simulate a Mad Cow attack by calling a script from the config cpp. I've tryed to create a script but i'm having problems cause i'm not good with scripting stuff, so i need some help. I want that the cow attack every person that get close about 50 mts not only the player as it might look by the sample. With this script the cow don't even attack player and if i remove player the cow commits suicide:D If anyone improve to work fine it i'll give credit in the readme file.

Here is the sample code i'm trying to use.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_z = _this select 0

goto "badcow"

#badcow

? player distance _z < 50: _z say "cow"

_z dowatch player;

_z DoFollow player;

_z playmove "headstroke";

_z say "cowstrike";

? player distance _z < 2: _z setdammage player 1;

goto "badcow"

exit

I am far away to be a script expert , but i think that using dofollow is not the best thing to do to have the mad cow go to the player position

You should use something like

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">madcow move getpos player

On a trigger that kind of codes work very well to have something namde madcow to move to the exact position of somethng named player.

So using the good script "syntax" to translate the code sample up there should help your script a lot to have the mad cow to move to player position, with a loop the cow will try to move to the player forever or until killed.

eeer, u might take a look @ the SST mod, unpbo their bugs (those alien things, not the bugs in a program ) and take a look @ their scripts....., altough u need a trigger to get it to work (very easy trigger, even I can do it ) and i guess they want some credit for it....

In the case of a single unit , move and domove are doing the same job.

I'm not sure but i think they have used something similar tozombi script and i want something more simples:) .

meh, the SSTscript is a simplified version of the zombie script, but AFAIK there is no other way, cuz ull always need to specify (just trew a dificult word in (aarh, spelling sucks) ) their targets, the with the sst mod the only thing u had to type was SST_Bugs

then it worked..., but with the zombies.... erh...  

ah well, creating 1 urslef is harder

As i say i don't know much about scripting so i think that was easy to simulate a strike from a cow I'll check that STT script anyway, thanks ofpforum

I don't think the zombie code can get any easier to program!!

Bah

lol, dont understand me wrong, its one of the best scripts ever made, and i implented then into several units (yea, of course i didnt release it... ), but for lazy people like me its a hell to get it to work... (yea, i know how it works, im just lazy as hell), the SST script (based on urs) is abit shortened, but missed some things...

ah well, the game logic thing works perfectly, but i still dont wanna do the glbtargets thingy

How hard can it be to create one little array? All you need is just a teeny bit of editing knowledge, which one would assume that you have if you are trying to make a mission.

as i said, i CAN do it, but im too lazy....

mostly bcuz i make quik "destroy all 600 zombies" missions, were i just place some random units against ALOT zombies  

EDIT: anyways this is gettin way offtopic
