mapscripted entites not working with scripted events?

[McNite]

Hi guys,

I just tried to set up ammocrates with an etpro mapscript which works fine.
Then I wanted to address them with a scriptblock so they will only be there when the CP is built by Axis.
That doesnt work.
I can setstate them in a spawn-block of the script though. Isn't that a bit weird?

scrf_ammo
{
	spawn
	{
		wait 1000
		setstate scrf_ammo default //invisible
	}
	on
	{
		setstate scrf_ammo default
		wm_announce "^3scrf_ammo default"
	}
	off
	{
		setstate scrf_ammo invisible
	}
}

scrf_ammotr
{
	spawn
	{
		wait 1000
		setstate scrf_ammotr default //invisible
	}
	on
	{
		setstate scrf_ammotr default
		wm_announce "^3scrf_ammotr default"
	}
	off
	{
		setstate scrf_ammotr invisible
	}
}

scrf_ammoempty
{
	spawn
	{
		wait 1000
		setstate scrf_ammoempty default
	}
	on
	{
		setstate scrf_ammoempty default
	}
	off
	{
		setstate scrf_ammoempty invisible
		wm_announce "^3scrf_ammoempty invisible"
	}
}

So what we got now here is: both crates are there at the start, and the ammo works, but triggering the empty one off doesnt have any effects... i don't even get the wm_announces.

The extra spawns/TWO in fueldump can be turned on and off sequentially from scripted events, but I have found that some entities are more touchy than others when scripted in.

Your script is malformed. on and off do not exist as scripting events like spawn or death.

Maybe you meant trigger on and trigger off, but in that case you don't seem to be triggering them anywhere

Shit now that you say it... i think that s my most common scripting error, forgetting about the "trigger"...

[mortis]

lol, I didn't notice that until reyalp pointed it out too...
