Script Argument

[ryguy147]

I have a question about scripts.

How can you change the effect of a script with a script argument?

For example, I have a script that displays a message. I make a linedef that uses script execute. I want to run the same script, it will be different for whatever line is crossed. If i set one linedef action to script argument 1 = 1, and another to script argument 1 = 2. How do I make that affect the script???

Code: Select all

script 1 (int variableyouwant) {
     if(variableyouwant == 1) {
        //do stuff
    }
    if(variableyouwant == 2) {
        //do stuff
    }
}

And so on.

        //do stuff
    }
    if(variableyouwant == 2) {
        //do stuff
    }
}

And so on.

So if the argument was 1 and i did this...

Code: Select all

script 1 (int variableyouwant) {
     if(variableyouwant == 1) {
        print(s:"Good!");
    }
    if(variableyouwant == 2) {
        print(s:"Bad!");
    }
}

...it would say "good"?

OK, having some problems. I'm making a thing that uses HUD message that tells you where you are. The code:

Code: Select all

script 100 (int location)
{
    if(location==1)
    {
        place = "Base";
    }
    if(location==2)
    {
        place = "Outside Base";
    }
//checks that PDA use is allowed
    if(PDA==99);
    {
        While(TRUE)
        {
        HudMessage(s:"Location: ",
        s: place;
        HUDMSG_PLAIN, 1, CR_GOLD, 0.98, 0.02, 1.0);
        Delay(25);
        } 
    }
}

There are some linedefs that run script 100, with script argument 1 = 1, script argument 2 = 2, etc.

But the location appears when I cross that argument 2 line (at that point, it isn't allowed yet), and doesn't change. (says base)

What am I doing wrong?

As you have it, script 100 runs and gets stuck in the while loop, preventing the script from being ran again normally. ACS_ExecuteAlways would solve the problem, but create a new problem, everytime you execute the script you add a loop that the script is stuck in. Separate the script into two parts. One for changing the 'place' variable, and the second for displaying the place message.

Thanks for that, I'll try.
