Blurb a weird script that creates an entity that follows you

Detailed description

!IMPORTANT!
this script only works in coop edit
----------

start the script by typing /startfollow and end it with /endfollow.
change the type of entity by typing /spawntype = "" defaults to particles
change the place the entity drops by typing /thedrop = defaults to 0
change each setting of the object by typing /s1 = , and /s2,/s3,/s4 respectivly

make sure to install the script corectly by creating an autoexe.cfg and typing in it exec fun.cfg. (make sure to have fun.cfg in the sauerbraten directory.)

Preview

activespawn = 0
spawntype = "particles"
thedrop = 0
s1 = 0;
s2 = 0;
s3 = 0;
s4 = 0;
randval = 1234;

startfollow = [if (! $activespawn 2 ) [activespawn = 1]; confollow; ]

confollow = [
if ( = $activespawn 1 ) [
if ( = $editing 0 ) [edittoggle]
entdrop $thedrop;
activespawn = 2;
edittoggle
randval = ( + 1 ( rnd 10000 ) )
];
sleep 100 [
if ( = $activespawn 2 ) [
if ( = $editing 0 ) [edittoggle]
entdrop $thedrop;
entfind * * * * * $randval;
delent;
newent $spawntype $s1 $s2 $s3 $s4;
entproperty 4 $randval;
edittoggle;
confollow;]]]

endfollow = [edittoggle; activespawn = 0; entdrop 2; entfind * * * * * $randval; delent; edittoggle];

silly things on quadropolis? I thought this was a community dedicated to srs bizness.

From Shadow's Quadropolis 10 Commandments:

II: Thou shall not make gimmick maps.

That's basically only maps. Mods and scripts can be whatever, really. Fun maps are pretty much pointless while scripts and whatnot are very fun to mess around with at times... Like my rave script! ^^

How can the node be obsolete by the way? Is this rather aimed for Justice edition or what?

Am0xity | 2014-01-11 06:09

Im confused. I did everything it said for me to do. Although I see "unknown command: PKAAI (The "PKAAI" had accent marks)". I went in coop mode anyways and startfollow didn't do anything. Can i get any help? -Am0xity

The error you're getting might be a bug in another script, or you might've accidentally screwed up this script somewhere along the way, especially if you copied and pasted instead of downloading. As for the script not working, ensure that it's being executed in autoexec.cfg

If all else fails, re-download and try again. Also, it might help if you relate exactly what you did, if necessary.

Suicizer | 2014-01-11 12:12

The preview of the script shown in the node should be identical to that provided as download (easier for bug tracking or any other feedback). Exceptions on this are insanely large scripts of course.
So copy-pasting it directly from the preview or just downloading shouldn't matter (although it's recommended to download it).

I'm not exactly sure what this script is supposed to do with the entities. It's some sort of follow script that spawns and deletes entities as you go? Why would it do that?

"This content is compatible with older edition(s) of the game it was made for, and is not guaranteed to work with the current or development versions." - Not true; this script was made for Collect Editon and works also for Sauerbraten's SVN version, Red Eclipse and Tesseract.

8/10, because it's a milestone, but the code could be better and it lacks of a handy GUi for the nubs.

Edit: Yes, I love to dig in the graves of old nodes.

if ( = $editing 0 ) [edittoggle]

First of all, when the executed script/command does not contain spaces, you can leave out the [ ], though it eventually makes stuff easier to overlook.

if ( = $editing 0 ) edittoggle

Also, if you have boolean values (i.e. just 1 or 0), you can simply make checks like if ($variable) or for 0 if (! $variable). Yet again you can leave out the brackets when there are no spaces at all.
Lastly, I personally would like to unselect stuff if I am in editmode already. My favorite variation of this line is:

if $editing cancelsel edittoggle

When you are in editmode, it unselects everything before doing it's business, if not in editmode, it toggles.

Pretty cool script, but can I edit with it activated? When I start the script it won't let me stay in edit mode. Is it really just for lol's when running around? It'd be cool if I could have it going all while I'm editing
