Help me tell whats wrong? (mission scripts)

polarbear · Sep 24th 2011

I have a problem with a ship that is not spawning when its suppose to.

One of those entries must be problematic:

Code

[Trigger]
nickname = MeetKing
system = Li01
Cnd_timer = 2
Act_SetNNState = mlog_meetking, ACTIVE
Act_SetNNObj = mlog_meetking
Act_ActTrig = im_in_space
[MsnShip]
nickname = King
NPC = king_m01a
position = -34420, 0, -28158
label = us
[Trigger]
nickname = im_in_space
system = Li01
Cnd_LaunchComplete = Player
Cnd_InSpace = true
Act_SpawnShip = king, king_form_on_trent, -34420, 0, -28158

Adv. Thanks for the helpers!

I have no experience modding singleplayer, but in multiplayer if the ship doesn't have a pilot assigned (the correct pilot and rank), or the ship is missing a critical piece of hardware such as an engine, tractor, scanner, etc. it doesn't appear.

For me, whenever a NPC didn't appear it was because of one of those two things.

I double-checked everything before starting the Trigger building. It can only be something with one of those entries. I'll try to rewrite it.

Thanks for trying to help!

why has your 2nd trigger 2 conditions?

why has your 2nd trigger 2 conditions?

It didn't work with one, so I added another. It doesn't work with neither of them.
So theres nothing ealse wrong with the code?

SWAT_OP-R8R · Sep 27th 2011

just one condition works

use
Act_SpawnShip = king
you already have set the ship position in the ship settings
and the objective is triggered with an extra command

I fixed it by sapwning King and Juni as a formation together and gave each other an objlist separately.
Anyway, Thanks for the tip, I'll take it into my experience.

Problem is: When one of the Escorts dies, the game crashes.

Thanks again for any help.

probably it can not set an objective to an dead ship?
very likely you have to definy addition triggers dealing with different conditions and deactivate the original trigger with them

polarbear · Sep 29th 2011

Oh, I'm so dumb... I forgot to put a condition at the last trigger!

Sorry for bothering you.
