hi there i am using random model for all lua of my legions so when i want change one model i must modify 120 files :S , so i am searching a short way and for example i saw in stock scripts from space conquest they divide lua in 2, _Diet Dr. Pepper and _cmn i tried this:
fel1x_con.lua legion50x.lua but dont work :S as always
such as i am trying make an universal file for all my luas so when i change model i only must modify one file, any idea ?

thanks in advance

I had that idea too but i have not tried it it looks like its used a lot in space maps. One thing i noticed is the space maps in thier req it lists both scipts the _cmn and _Diet Dr. Pepper. Did you try that?

yeah i putted legion50x in my mission.req , and bfrontlog didnt say the game cant find the file so i added it right

hmm sorry man that was my only idea

many thanks anyway

hmmm, ive never really scripted lua, but i attempted some C# lately.

i suppose the problem is that you load the 50x.lua before the the map even starts, this could cause that its not being used in realtime-gameplay and/or that the timer cant even count rounds/frames/seconds whatever

my suggestion would be to put the timer in the actual missionlua and leave the definition of the units in the extrafile

cool idea i will try , and thanks for help me , but how i make the reference ? like this:

xxxc_con.lua legion50x.lua EDIT
didnt work :S i dont know how divide timer and properties from it :S please help

well i would put all the stuff regarding the timer into the x_con lua (maybe plus the loading of the units, dunno if that canbe don with seperate file) and the unitdefinitionparts (with if skin....) in the seperate one

btw wheredid you define maxskin?

i didnt understand rightly but you mean this :
xxxc_con legion50x

Did you forget ScriptCB_DoFile("50x") up at the top there, in XXXc.lua?

legion50x_con.lua xxxc_con.lua :S any idea my father?

There's no need to load setup_teams.lua or setting team variables in your legion50x_con.lua, since it's already loaded&defined in xxxc_con.lua.
Don't know if that causes any problems, though.

EDIT: Just wondering, doesn't the ScriptPostLoad() function from xxxc_con.lua overwrite the one in legion50x_con.lua? So the legion50x_con.lua stuff doesn't get used at all? I'm doing alot PHP & mySQL stuff lately, so I might have mixed something wrong.

I would say yes. Same as php if you reference 2 classes, one gets bumped (aka. gives an error).
(i do a lot of php stuff also )

Some of the space maps are split, with common scripts used by assault and ctf.

so in legion50xc_con i only put random chunk and in xxxc_con whole complete but without setclassproperty lines ?? is very confuse for me sorry, for that reason i always ask xD

Well, i'll put it this way. ScriptPostLoad() is a class, and you can't have more than one. So if you merge ScriptPostLoad() with what you have in another lua, then remove that class, it may work.

i removed that line on legion50x_con.lua but anyway i have problems dividing random script chunk :S i am trying put timer on xxxc_con as darthduck said , and ontimerelapse with properties on legion50x_con but i cant, always error error and when no error, anyway dont work :S, please could anyone make the partition of files for me please ?

EDIT: or show me an example please

ScriptPostLoad is the name of the variable holding that function. If you load two script files with the variables in the same scope (if you don't know what scope is, ignore it) with the same names, the original ones get clobbered.

There are two main ways you do what you want:
1) Include your 50x script in each map. Each map will only have the models that you defined when you munged and released the map. You would keep an original version of the script and copy it into each map you make. Every time you update the original script, you would copy it into all the maps you want to have the updates.
2) Turn your models and 50x script into a lvl. Each map would reference this lvl. This allows you to update the lvl independently of the maps. Any of your shipped maps would get all the new random models whenever someone downloaded a new version of the lvl (which would be packaged with each new map). Depending on how you make the installer, you may or may not have to deal with people installing earlier versions of the lvl on top of newer ones.

Which one do you want?
