Mapscript examples?
« on: February 14, 2007, 10:16:06 »
There was fairly limited information in the OdaWiki, so I'll ask here.

May I see an example of how to use a startmapscript/endmapscript with if commands to see how to correctly cycle wads and maps?

I have yet to use it myself, but denis (voxel) would be the best person to provide more info.  He is gone for another week, but I will point him to this thread and let him to he should provide a bit more documentation and example.

In the meantime, I would suggest taking what info is there and experimenting.  I highly recommend you run your server through a debugger and report any crashes that may occur to a new bug on the bug tracker.  And of course report any useful findings here as well as updating the wiki if possible.

So, it will contain some ZDoom scripting or is this its own script language?

This is its own language. It's entirely server-side, not client-side.

The syntax for starmapscript is very simple:

Code: [Select]
if CVAR1 eq VALUE1 CVAR2 VALUE2

CVAR2 will be set to VALUE2 if CVAR1 is currently set to VALUE1. 'curmap' is a read-only cvar that tracks the current map, so it is a useful condition:

Code: [Select]
if curmap eq MAP01 skill 5
if curmap eq MAP02 skill 4
if curmap eq MAP30 hostname "join if you dare"

This code can be placed directly into starmapscript, or it can be put in a script, and starmapscript can be set to "exec script.cfg".

While bug 112 is still open, these scripts are SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Suggestions for improvement/replacement are welcome.
