Rebel Raider gametype for PC/Xbox versions - research

Posted: Thu Mar 25, 2010 10:32 pm
by Teancum
I've been trying to recreate the PSP version's Rebel Raider (though I call it Smuggler). The premise of this gametype is really simple. There are multiple "flags" to steal throughout a map - The Rebels (technically there's only one on the PSP) have to grab the objects one by one and bring it back to the capture region. The Imperials simply try to kill the Rebels. Trouble is that I can pick up the "flags", but they do not actually capture when I get to the capture region. From all I can read of the PSP's mission lua it just uses ObjectiveCTF, but I'm beginning to think this might be easier to use if a whole new objective type was coded. Below is my mission lua, which has multiple capture regions (since I thought that might be the problem). Any help/direction on this mode would be great.

From ObjectiveCTF.lua:
Hidden/Spoiler:
OnEnterRegion(
--when a carrier enters the flag's capture region...
function(region, carrier)
if self.isComplete then return end

if not CanCharacterInteractWithFlag(carrier) then return end

--check to see if he's carrying this flag and is on an enemy team, and
--the flag's capture region corresponds to this region
for i, f in pairs(self.flags) do
if f.carrier == carrier and string.lower(f.captureRegion) == string.lower(GetRegionName(region)) then
local flagPtr = GetObjectPtr(f.name)
local flagTeam = GetObjectTeam(f.name)
local carrierTeam = GetCharacterTeam(carrier)

if flagTeam ~= carrierTeam then
--print("in OnEnterRegion()")
CaptureFlag(f, carrierTeam)
end
end
end
end,
flag.captureRegion
)
end
I'd say, edit this code and put some simple notifiers (I'd use ShowMessageText("blahblahblah")) in each of the conditional statements. This way, you'll be able to see how far the game logic is taking the function before it stops working and keeps from getting to the "CaptureFlag" line itself. From there, you can focus on tweaking just one part of the code.
Did I word that right? sorry, way too little sleep.

Heh, the old Print-to-Debug. Probably best. I'll have to write some debug localization strings, but that's not too big of a deal. Do you mind posting all of objectiveCTF.lua? I'm at work and can't access my home PC.

Also - anyone know what GetObjectPtr() does? I've never had to use it.

Sure. Picked that line series as the most relevant, but I haven't looked at the whole thing (below that point) myself.

Also, You could do it through printing multiple lines (one for the first if-then, two for the second, etc...) if you don't feel like making the localization.

I'm debugging mostly through the Xbox, which means I can't use Print(). I want to make sure it works there - then I know it'll work on the PC.

From Battlefront2_scripting_system.doc:
GetObjectPtr (name) → object
This function returns the Object with the specified name, or nil if none exists.
It's one of a few functions that returns object properties.

Tean, if it were me I'd just recode your new mode. It's not incredibly difficult - all you really want is a trigger region that kills off any flags brought into it. You can use the same code to increment (or not) a ticker that keeps track of how many flags scored or (more ideal in my opinion) how many flags you have left.

Yeah, that's kindof what I'm thinking too. It's going to be easier to do things from scratch. I think the CTF code requires 1 flag per team anyhow, as the player team has -- for a score, whereas the enemy team had an actual score.
