Points to unlock (FAQ)

Is there some way through scripting to determine how many points it takes to unlock a unit instead of the odf function "PointstoUnlock= X"?

Yes, there is a map out there that was done in a more mission style, where if you have a certain number of cps captured the Jedi became available to use. If you lacked the necessary number of cps then the Jedi were 500 points each. I can't remember the name of it though, maybe someone else knows?

Example with the Acklay:
Just put it in command post setup section(can't remember the name. ScriptPostLoad? 
).
Code: Select all
SetClassProperty("geo_inf_acklay", "PointsToUnlock", 12)Re: Points to unlock

Thanks a bunch!!! Can you modify health and damage the unit can do as well?

Yep:
Note:
That method is for the class as a whole. If you just want to change the current health of a unit, here's what you should use:
That will change the MaxHealth of the unit in the variable to 1000.
Code: Select all
SetClassProperty("geo_inf_acklay", "MaxHealth", 1000)That method is for the class as a whole. If you just want to change the current health of a unit, here's what you should use:
Code: Select all
SetProperty(UNIT_VARIABLE, "MaxHealth", 1000)Re: Points to unlock

Oh yeah I know that map!! I think it was that campaign map on http://www.starwarsbattlefront.filefront.comYes, there is a map out there that was done in a more mission style, where if you have a certain number of cps captured the Jedi became available to use.

Would I also then change
to this:
Code: Select all
SetClassProperty("geo_inf_acklay", "PointsToUnlock", 12)Code: Select all
SetProperty("geo_inf_acklay", "PointsToUnlock", 12)Re: Points to unlock

No, PointToUnlock is a class property. Health and MaxHealth are instance properties.
Each unit has there own instance property. The class properties are shared across the whole... well, class.
If you look in the scripting guide it has a list of all the instance and class properties.

Apologies for bumping this thread, but I have a query about the "SetProperty" line; can it be used with weapons, as well as units?
Re: Points to unlock

Yes, but it's still SetClassProperty and not SetProperty. There aren't instances of weapons, just weapon classes.

I have never tired changing the properties of weapons (rate of fire, recharge time, etc...), but I do know that changing which weapons a unit hold will cause crashes for other players in MP. Also, changing units' ammo counts causes the crashes too.

By weapon classes we'd be talking, say, like the rifles of all 4 main sides being of the same wepon class, right?
Also, can you change a vehicle's health(or that of a vehicle class) using these two code lines?

Yes, and about the vehicle's health, I think so. Ingame its an object and SetProperty works on objects... I've never tried it though. You would need to know the vehicle's spawned name, or get a reference to it somehow (like through OnExitVehicle or whatever)Omega_007 wrote:By weapon classes we'd be talking, say, like the rifles of all 4 main sides being of the same wepon class, right?

Sorry for bumping this topic, but I'm confused about this:
Can somebody explain in further detail how to get it to recognize a unit currently referenced in a function? For example:MasterSaitek009 wrote:SetProperty(UNIT_VARIABLE, "MaxHealth", 1000)
That will change the MaxHealth of the unit in the variable to 1000.
Code: Select all
OnCharacterSpawn(
function(player)
if GetEntityClass(player) == "cis_inf_rifleman" then
SetProperty(whatdoIputhere?, Team, 3)
end
end

whatdoIputhere? = GetCharacterUnit(player)
