Custom Object/Gate/Disapper with restart

[MillerMod]

Hello mates!

I put a custom object, called controlled gate 3 into my map and worked fine (texture ok,i can open it...), until the map restart came. After the restart the gate disappeared! So i had to load again the map,than the gate was there. But in restart, no...

Can you help me?

Thx!

Is this object a PlayerControlObject? (same object type that vehicles use) If you put it on the map directly, it will appear for only one round. If it dies or when round ends, it will disappear and never be seen again until the map is reloaded.

PCOs need to be placed on the map via objectspawners. Find the objectspawntemplates con file in your Conquest/Singleplyaer folder (may vary depending on what gamemodes you have installed for your map) and you can see how existing object spawners are coded. To place a team neutral object on the map via a spawner, code it something like this:

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.create ObjectSpawner gatespawner
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 0 (name of your gate PCO)
ObjectTemplate.MinSpawnDelay 25
ObjectTemplate.MaxSpawnDelay 40
ObjectTemplate.SpawnDelayAtStart 0
ObjectTemplate.TimeToLive 30
ObjectTemplate.Distance 25
ObjectTemplate.DamageWhenLost 15

Then put this in the objectspawns con file:

Code: Select all

Object.create gatespawner
Object.absolutePosition (Vec3 position of your object)
Object.rotation (vec3 rotation of your object)
Object.setTeam 0

After your gate blows up or a new round begins, this is what happens:

- Object Spawner: It will come back and spawn. New rounds require PCOs to be respawned.
- Static Object: It will not be there any more. A PCO should not be added to a map as a Static Object unless you want it to have a "one-time use" effect.

Well, i tried this, but the same situation.
I put the gate, like a vehicle to spawn, and after restart, same again ...

Can you show me the Objects.con of your gate?

This is the 3rd controll gate of Smig's custom objects and the lines from:

Code: Select all

bf1942\levels\my_map\objects\controlledgates\objects.con

[fo0k]

This is the code for the start fence from interstate.. its set to dissappear after 1 minute (it has 60000 hit points and is set to loose 1000 per second)
Use this to check your code..

Code: Select all

objects.con

ObjectTemplate.create PlayerControlObject breakfence
ObjectTemplate.geometry breakfence
ObjectTemplate.setNetworkableInfo breakfencebodyinfo
ObjectTemplate.hasCollisionPhysics 1
ObjectTemplate.addToCollisionGroup c_CGProjectiles
ObjectTemplate.hitpoints 60000
ObjectTemplate.maxhitpoints 60000

ObjectTemplate.TimeToLiveAfterDeath 0
ObjectTemplate.explosionRadius 0
ObjectTemplate.explosionDamage 0
ObjectTemplate.speedMod 0.0001

Code: Select all

network.con

GeometryTemplate.setLodDistance 2 50
GeometryTemplate.setLodDistance 3 80
GeometryTemplate.setLodDistance 4 150
GeometryTemplate.setLodDistance 5 200

Then setup your objectspawntemplates too with something like.. (time to live and distance will mean nothing in this instance of a non mobile PCO so it doesnt matter what you put there)

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.create ObjectSpawner breakfencespawner
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 2 breakfence
ObjectTemplate.setObjectTemplate 1 breakfence
ObjectTemplate.SpawnDelay 0
ObjectTemplate.SpawnDelayAtStart 0
ObjectTemplate.TimeToLive 999
ObjectTemplate.Distance 40
ObjectTemplate.DamageWhenLost 10

then just spawn it..

Code: Select all

Object.create breakfencespawner
Object.absolutePosition 379.585/75.452/1965.64
Object.setOSId 1

Well Fook thx!

But i think, this is a little complicated. There has to be a simple and easy way to get the gates work. Smig did a real good job of them, so i think we can do it right somehow.

There is a map, called North_Sea_Docks.rfa, there are 2 of the controlled gates and they work after the restart! The creator of the map spawned the gates like an object as i did, but maybe i forget soemthing ...

[Swaffy]

If you took the gate from that mod, you are probably missing a file or more. Keep looking.

No Bro!
I took the files from the original site : http://www.smig.name/

So any ideas? Cause i have one: change the gates to an open gate,with no controlled gates.
