The Code and post any questions you have about it

Found a design artifact that shows that in solo mode zombies, the user would only loose one perk, but I don't know the reason why this code was written or when it would be called. There is no reference to this function that I can find in any of the back ops code I have.

pot = GetStruct( "casimir_light_"+num, "targetname" );

if ( IsDefined( spot ) )

{

light = Spawn( "script_model", spot.origin );

light SetModel( "tag_origin" );

light.angles = spot.angles;

fx = PlayFXOnTag( level._effect["fx_zmb_light_floodlight_bright"], light, "tag_origin" );

level.casimir_lights[ level.casimir_lights.size ] = light;

}

*******There is a difference between casimir lights, that gets mention, then there is the zombie flood light which is something different.

}

	activate_casimir_light( num ){

		spot = GetStruct( "casimir_light_"+num, "targetname" );

		if ( IsDefined( spot ) ) {

			light = Spawn( "script_model", spot.origin );

			light SetModel( "tag_origin" );

			light.angles = spot.angles;

			fx = PlayFXOnTag( level._effect["fx_zmb_light_floodlight_bright"], light, "tag_origin" );

			level.casimir_lights[ level.casimir_lights.size ] = light;

		}

	}

As seen in this code, the casimir light is a zombie flood light. spot is the location of the casimir light being looked up by the name of the location defined. It spawns a model that is a light at the location just looked up. The if (IsDefined( spot)) is not needed, but would allow the struct of the casimir light to be programmed in later and added to the code without having to update this script. "fx =" does nothing "PlayFXOnTag( level._effect["fx_zmb_light_floodlight_bright"], light, "tag_origin" );" gets the flood light effect and applies it to the now configured model "light", playing the effect at the origin of the model "light". "level.casimir_lights[ level.casimir_lights.size ] = light;" sets the model into an array so it can be latter cleaned up in the following function:

	weapon_combo_event() {

		flag_init( "thundergun_hit" );

		weapon_combo_spot = GetStruct( "weapon_combo_spot", "targetname" );

		focal_point = Spawn( "script_model", weapon_combo_spot.origin );

		focal_point SetModel( "tag_origin" );

		focal_point PlayLoopSound( "zmb_egg_notifier", 1 );

		fx = PlayFXOnTag( level._effect["gersh_spark"], focal_point, "tag_origin" );

		level.black_hold_bomb_target_trig = Spawn( "trigger_radius", weapon_combo_spot.origin, 0, 50, 72 );

		level.black_hole_bomb_loc_check_func = ::bhb_combo_loc_check;

		flag_wait( "weapons_combined" );

		level.black_hold_bomb_target_trig Delete();

		level.black_hole_bomb_loc_check_func = undefined;

		focal_point Delete();

		for ( i=0; i
		{

			level.casimir_lights[i] Delete();

		}

	}

HAHAHAH you have been rocked to the core. Changed the up the whole thread. I dont have the time atm but i'll walk you through it all, dont worry i'll let you hold my hand for a lil bit until you get settled. I wonder how you are gonna change your whole thread again after I make myself very clear to you.

2/10

I chuckled a bit.

[brains] [brains] Charity donation to you, I hope these help in the real world. Keep being so sure in yourself, it'll do you good. Why fight a river of stupidity?

You make it sound like confidence is a bad thing.

When the Kino code was posted, I noticed this and was very interested.

Please the code in question as I can't find any reference to zombie_flood_light_bright in the code. I am not sure what you don't understand. I'm posting the code outside of a code block so I can show you the ending sequence:

soul_release( model, origin )

{

soul = Spawn( "script_model", origin );

soul SetModel( "tag_origin" );

soul PlayLoopSound( "zmb_egg_soul" );

fx = PlayFXOnTag( level._effect["gersh_spark"], soul, "tag_origin" );

time = 20;

model waittill( "death" );

level thread play_egg_vox( "vox_ann_egg6_success", "vox_gersh_egg6_success", 9 );

level thread wait_for_gersh_vox();

soul MoveZ( 2500, time, time - 1 );

wait( time );

soul Delete();

wait(2);

level thread samantha_is_angry();

}

wait_for_gersh_vox()

{

wait(12.5);

players = GetPlayers();

for ( i=0; i

{

players thread reward_wait();

}

}

reward_wait()

{

while ( !is_player_valid( self ) ||

( self UseButtonPressed() && self in_revive_trigger() ) )

{

wait( 1.0 );

}

level thread maps\_zombiemode_powerups::minigun_weapon_powerup( self, 90 );

}

somebody should try changing the 90 if they have the PC version of the game (get an organized party of four to all do it i guess) and see if the death machines last longer if you do...
