turning EVERY sector a color

[Zell]

is it possible to make EVERY sector go to a color with one script, or do i need to tag them all? (i want the player to flip a swicth then something like an alarm goes off and you have to escape, and the entire level turns red)

[Cyb]

yes

Code: Select all

script 1 (void)
{
   for(int x = 0; x <= MAXTAG; x++)
      sector_setcolor(x, 255, 0, 0);
}

where MAXTAG is the highest numbered sector tag on the map. note if you use negative sector tags (which nobody does, and I don't think they're even supported by zdoom) you'll need to make x have the proper starting value, but I'm sure you're not using them so disregard that heh

edit: oh yeah, if you want the script to leave out some sectors (for deep water or whatever purposes) do this:

Code: Select all

script 1 (void)
{
   for(int x = 0; x <= MAXTAG; x++)
   {
      if(x != 12 && x != 98 && x != 127)
         sector_setcolor(x, 255, 0, 0);
   }
}

that will change all sectors red except ones tagged 12, 98 or 127

Just use tag 0 - this will change all untagged sectors.

...and then you'd have to do it again for all tagged sectors.

Cyb: He did not want to tag all the sectors, and sector_setcolor takes a sector
tag...

Zell: Taking the sector 0-tag approach, you still need to make tagged sectors
red with (single) calls to sector_setcolor.

What's your point? Cyb's method is by far the best. All sectors in the map (tagged or not) will be turned red, except those explicitely tagged otherwise in the second example. This could be useful if there are outdoor areas. Just slap on a certain tag and it'll be skipped during the coloration process.

Cyb's example does exactly what TUD's does (Change colors of all untagged (tag 0) sectors), and then goes through every other used tag and changed their colors as well. A for loop is a series of "(single)" commands being executed multiple times, after all.

Sorry, had not seen he used x=0. (Thought that was x=1)
