A Question About Timers

Posted: Thu Aug 20, 2009 4:05 pm
by Fierfek
Okay, I have never ever worked with timers or advanced scripting before.
What I want to do is have a 6-minute timer that, when finished, adds in a new command post and local team.
Does this look right? (the important parts are in red)

Sorry, I know the timer is probably completely wrong - please don't kill me. I've never used timers before.
Thanks in advance.

These parts:

Code: Select all

CommandPost:New{name = "Clone_CP"}
conquest:AddCommandPost(cp6)
Have to go in ScriptPostLoad.

And then it's good to go?

How about you try it first, and then if it doesn't work, get an error log and post here.

I'm assuming that you have the CP set up correctly in ZE. What you'll need to do is kill the CP before the map starts, then add the CP in when it elapses. You don't need to reference the CP in the Lua script like you would the others if you aren't going to have it as an objective to capture to win the map. The local team should be set up like any other local team; if they don't have a place to spawn, they won't be in the map until they get one.

All timer stuff should be in ScriptPostLoad(). All team set up should be in ScriptInit().

How do I kill the cp, then add it in when the timer elapses?

No, it has a bunch of problems. First, ScriptInit() is normally for reading in data files, team configuration, and setting up the map. Event callbacks never go in there. Anything relating to how the mode operates goes in, or is called from, ScriptPostLoad().

After you move the code into ScriptPostLoad() and munge, you'll get an error amount a missing ). This is because the syntax for your OnTimerElapse is wrong. You never end OnTimerElapse's function, you didn't add the timer filter parameter, and you don't close the OnTimerElapse(function...end,timer) call.

After you fix the syntax errors, you'll munge and attempt to play. The game will crash. The error log will complain about CreateTimer's first parameter being nil, which it is. You never set the rein_timer variable equal to the name of the timer. If you wanted that to be the name, then every time you use rein_timer, but it in quotes like this: "rein_timer".

After the nil error is fixed, you'll want to change the CP addition code. The code you posted is how to add a CP to the Conquest objective, not how to enable the CP ingame.

Ahh, stop posting so I can post...

Edit: The timer event callback is formatted like this, assuming the name of your timer is "rein_timer":

Code: Select all

OnTimerElapse(function(timer)
    --do stuff here
end,"rein_timer")

You can search the site for some example Lua scripts, but the best thing to do is just look at the campaign scripts and see how they are set up. Another good example of a script with many different functions used is Mav's Spira script, which he has on his Filefront page.

No, it doesn't look right.

EDIT:
You didn't destroy the CP like I said and you added are still doing what Zerted and I said not to do; trying to add the CP like one for a conquest objective. Fix this and we'll move onto the timers.

It's not "noobish," everyone has to learn at some point. You also have to learn the the assets are your friends. Look through them; they tel you a lot.

Put cp5 in exactly like the rest of the CPs if you want it counted toward Conquest. Meaning if you want it to have a bleed rate. If you don't want it counted towards Conqest, then you only need the two function calls mentioned below and no other lines would have cp5 in them.

Rereading the scripting doc. Timer callbacks are just like OnCharacterDeath, OnEnterRegion, etc...

There are KillObject(<object name>) and RespawnObject(<object name>) functions where <object name> is the name of the object you are killing or respawning. In your case, "cp5".

Re: A Question About Timers

For example, the Hoth script; this is from the very beginning:

Code: Select all

timeoutTimer = CreateTimer("timeout")
	SetTimerValue(timeoutTimer, 1260)
    ShowTimer(timeoutTimer)
    
    OnTimerElapse(
        function(timer)
            MissionVictory(DEF)
            ScriptCB_SndPlaySound("HOT_obj_07")
            ShowTimer(nil)
            DestroyTimer(timer)
        end,
        timeoutTimer
        )
timeoutTimer is the variable name of the timer object, "timeout" is the name assigned to this object. From there on out, they can refer to the timer as either timeoutTimer (without quotes) or "timeout" (with the quotes); they mean the same thing, but that's how you create the timer (I'm not sure if you have to set it equal to a variable, could someone else address that?). You don't need the Rate function, it automatically goes at 1 unit per second.

You need to learn how to work function calls as Zerted pointed out. Read the document he referred to, it will teach you a good deal (the beginning explains the repetitiveness below it).

Should I do a manual clean?
I might just give the timer up. It's more trouble than it's worth.

If you had bothered to read the error log, you would have seen that your problem is with this here at line 52.

Code: Select all

function()
Fuction... what? What is this supposed to be doing?

Like I said, I have no experience with timers.
When the timer elapses, I want to respawn the cp5, so that the locals can spawn. How do I do that?

You aren't looking close enough at the posted code formats. What you want is

Code: Select all

OnTimerElapse(
    function(timer)
        RespawnObject("cp5")
        DestroyTimer("rein_timer")
    end,
    "rein_timer"
)
Also, change KillObject (cp5) to KillObject ("cp5")

Edit: You last code was close, you just needed to make the function a parameter/argument to the OnTimerElapse call:
OnTimerElapse("rein_timer")
function()
RespawnObject (cp5)
DestroyTimer ("rein_timer")
end
to
OnTimerElapse(
function(timer)
RespawnObject ("cp5")
DestroyTimer ("rein_timer")
end,"rein_timer")

Okay, thanks.
Munging now.
Hey, thanks for all the help. I would be a terrible modder without Gametoast.

Okay, does this look right?

You can remove SetTimerRate(). The second argument of SetTimerValue() should be 360 since it goes by seconds. You can remove the following two lines if you don't want the local's CP to be necessary to win (please say explicitly whether or not you want it as an objective so we can get that sorted out):
cp5 = CommandPost:New{name = "Local_CP1"}
conquest:AddCommandPost(Local_CP1)
Even if you keep the above code, it's wrong. The two things in red should be exactly the same.

Lastly, you call the CP "Local_CP1" in the above code but you use "cp5" in KillObject(). The input to KillObject() and RespawnObject() should be the same as the name you give the object in ZE (as should the entry in CommandPost:New{}, if you choose to use that).
