[TEC] Crew Scripting

[Therion_Prime]

Heres a list with all waypoints of the 7a:

EDIT: SOLVED! Set Actors directory in the GoblinEditors options to SH5 root folder.

Hmm, I get an error message when opening a waypoint gr2 file in the goblin editor:



I hope this is not a showstopper.

Availiable jobs in GoblinEd:



Notice: Deck gun and flak loader 1 and 2

Nice! I'm not sure what effect the jobs has. I noticed a lot of them are set incorrectly.

I really need to make a map using a uboat layout with all the waypoints marked.

Manning Guns

To assign a crewman to a gun, you first must move him the appropriate waypoint. The easiest way is to use Teleport().

Wp:Teleport("WP_A01_GUN"); This is the AA mount

Then you need to man the gun using ManTheGun() using the appropriate slot, animation and role

Wp:ManTheGun(SLOT_A01, "20mm_C38_shield_twin_UP_DW", ROLE_GUNNER)

Some guns have one slot, some have more. The deck gun only has two slots which limits what we can do to add more crew. There are workarounds, but I have found one yet that works well enough.

Ok, i found out how to load a sub into the goblin editor and display waypoints. Lots of stuff can be adjusted here:


You can barely see the chiefs waypoint on the white collision floor to the right. Now I have to figure out how to move it and how to add more waypoints.

Cool stuff huh? I've gotten that far but never figured out how to change anything but the crew parts. That was before I figured out I could change them with scripts.

Be careful moving waypoints. The animations are built for them. If you move them, you may throw off an animation and have guys walking through walls or something.

Just open the main submarine *.gr2 with the goblin editor and it will load all "child" gr2s automatically. i.e. ..\SH5\data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat7a\NSS_Uboat7a.GR2

[kapitan_zur_see]

How do you make it to show the result of a script editing without having to restart the entire game from desktop to loading a patrol?

I can't make the game to sort of "reload" my saved script whilst staying ingame? I tried with the AI debugger script editor using the "reload script" function, but no luck, except it messes the AI debugger itself and end up showing CR_NAV_IDLE in the CR_HF tree and causing CTD.

Do you always have to start all the game through to take a new script in effect? painfull!!!

Right click on the exe file and select Properties. Under the compatibility tab ensure Disable visual themes is checked

Thank you Sober for asking and TDW for answering.

Until now I thought that this flickering issue was only my problem
