[Unfinished Open Source]Multistage Drexens Timer, Weapon Strips

[Dr Gains]

I figured I might aswell post what Ive made so far, The variables transfer fine, you will just need to find a way to add time to the logic_timer's. This map was going to be a long jump-styled story where you find weapons as you progress and have some sort of boss fight throughout the chapters. Theres a weapon strip right now, should be as a trigger_multiple in one of the corners. The current timer I have adds numbers to the math_counter's but Drexens time values increment off the logic_timer, so it'll show a loaded time but it will glitch once it trys to go above the max values. Anyway heres the DL:

Id start by maybe setting the logic_timer intervals based off of the env_globals, then on timer end set self to desired time.
The weapons would be saved throughout the maps the same way as the timer, save a value to env_global then, add a value to a math_counter on the next map with a logic_auto
Hope this comes to use one day

Hey guys, I want to make a multi-stage story map. Im trying to use env_global to execute a logic_auto on the next map(s).

Here's what I have so far:
----------
Map 1:

trigger_once [Outputs]:
OnStartTouch | point_servercommand | Command  | sv_cheats 1                               | 0.00
OnStartTouch | env_global                  | Toggle       |                                                 | 0.02
OnStartTouch | env_global                  | AddOutput  | global_set globalstate1 1            | 0.04
OnStartTouch | env_global                  | AddOutput  | globalstate 1                             | 0.04
OnStartTouch | env_global                  | Toggle        |                                                | 0.06
OnStartTouch | point_servercommand | Command   | changelevel jump_story_ch2_a1 | 0.08

----------
Map 2:

logic_auto [Property: Global State to Read | --None-- | Outputs]:
OnNewGame   | point_servercommand | Command   | sv_cheats 1                              | 0.00

logic_auto [Property: Global State to Read | 1 | Outputs]:
OnNewGame   | (Entity)                      | Trigger         |                                               | 0.01
----------
The entity on the 2nd map does not trigger, any idea why?

i have no idea how to help you, but this sounds like an awesome idea. good luck to you

I played around with this a long time back, I'll see if I can dig up the test maps I made.

Might be onMapLoad as opposed to onNewGame, as you're doing a changelevel so you're never really killing the server (thus not having a >new< game) ?

Alright, here are the two .vmf files I used: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qu3s6uwo1o6mrf1/globals.rar?dl=0

You can just compile them both and then load up "test_global_a". The state of the light should be kept between map A and B. You can go between them as many times as you want with the teleporter to the right. The env_global might not show up correctly in hammer since it is not included in the TF2 fgd. You can add it manually by adding this to the fgd:

Code: [Select]

@PointClass base(EnvGlobal) size(-8 -8 -8, 8 8 8) = env_global :
"An entity to control a game-specific global states."
[
globalstate(choices) : "Global State to Set" =
[
"gordon_precriminal" : "Gordon pre-criminal"
"antlion_allied" : "Antlions are player allies"
// "player_stealth" : "Player in APC is disguised as combine"
"suit_no_sprint" : "Suit sprint function not yet enabled"
"super_phys_gun" : "Super phys gun is enabled"
"friendly_encounter" : "Friendly encounter sequence (lower weapons, etc.)"
// "citizens_passive" : "Citizens are *not* player allies (cannot be commanded)"
"gordon_invulnerable" : "Gordon is invulnerable"
"no_seagulls_on_jeep" : "Don't spawn seagulls on the jeep"
"ep2_alyx_injured" : "Episode 2: Alyx injured"
"ep_alyx_darknessmode" : "Episodic: Alyx darkness mode"
"hunters_to_run_over" : "Ep2 Counter: Hunters to run over before they dodge"

I hope this helps!
