Coin Counter Help

[legacy-Dan911]

Ok so i am making a mutator that every time you touch a coin model that i will place in a map, it disapears and you get +1 to a counter. This is what a have so far.




//===========================================
//Coin Counter
///==========================================

class CoinCounter extends Actor;
// model info i know how to find out

function Touch( actor Other )
{
// stumped Coins = Coiins +1?
}

defaultproperties
{
Mesh=CoinMesh
DrawType=DT_Mesh
b_static=False
bCollideActors=True
collisionheight= 56
}

I do not know what to do from here, and would love all the help i can get. I know i have to add to a value, but do not know where to declare the Coin value.

Well if all the coins are the same value then 'coin++;' would work

Why not use a pickup instead of an actor? Then your mutator could replace adrenaline, for example, with your coins.

[legacy-Dan911]

ok, i took Bonehed316's advice and extened from TournamentHealth class. Looks like the only function i have to rewrite would be the Touch,and extend another script from Xpawn called CoinHolder that would hold the value of Coins? Aslo, where would i define what model the pickup uses?


Class CoinHolder extends Xpawn;

int Coins







Class Coin extends TournamentHealth

auto state Pickup
{
function Touch( actor Other )
{
local Pawn P;

if ( ValidTouch(Other) )
{
P = Pawn(Other);
CoinHolder(p)Coins = coins++
AnnouncePickup(P);
SetRespawn();

}
}

Ok I changed some things around.
I have made a coin folder in the ut2004 directory, adn under that made 3 folders, classes, textures, and Models.

In the models i have my model(health.psk)

in the textures i have my texture(coinskin.bmp)

In my classes folder i have 3 files
Coin.uc
//======================
//Coin
//======================


Class Coin extends TournamentHealth

auto state Pickup
{
function Touch( actor Other )
{
local Pawn P;

if ( ValidTouch(Other) )
{
P = Pawn(Other);
CoinHolder(p)Coins = coins++
AnnouncePickup(P);
SetRespawn();

}
}
}

CoinModel.uc

//================================================== =============================
// [CoinModel]
//================================================== =============================

class CoinModel extends Actor;
#exec MESH MODELIMPORT MESH=CoinModelMesh MODELFILE=models\Health.PSK LODSTYLE=10
#exec MESH ORIGIN MESH=CoinModelMesh X=0 Y=0 Z=0 YAW=0 PITCH=0 ROLL=0

#exec MESHMAP SCALE MESHMAP=CoinModelMesh X=1.0 Y=1.0 Z=1.0


// Digest and compress the animation data. Must come after the sequence declarations.
// 'VERBOSE' gives more debugging info in UCC.log


#EXEC TEXTURE IMPORT NAME=CoinModelTex0 FILE=TEXTURES\coinskin.bmp GROUP=Skins

#EXEC MESHMAP SETTEXTURE MESHMAP=CoinModelMesh NUM=0 TEXTURE=CoinModelTex0

// Original material [0] is [01 - Default] SkinIndex: 0 Bitmap: coinskin.bmp Path: C:\Documents and Settings\Dan911\Desktop


defaultproperties
{
Mesh=CoinModelMesh
DrawType=DT_Mesh
bStatic=False
bCollideActors=True
collisionheight= 56
}


and finally CoinValue.uc

/================================================
//Coin Value
//================================================




Class CoinValue extends Xpawn; //define the coin value

int Coins

Coins = "1"


I am curous if i would have to make a map using this mutator, or can i spawn a coin with a console command. Also, will this script work?

[legacy-Dan911]

Ok i have completed my mod, at least for now. I would like to know how to make a coin spawn every time a hit a key or make them spawn randomly on a level, and have a hud meter that says how many you have. Anyway, here is th ecode that works. Type summon coin.coin to make one.

//================================================== ===========================
// Coin
//================================================== ===========================
class Coin extends TournamentHealth;

#exec MESH MODELIMPORT MESH=CoinMesh MODELFILE=models\Coin.PSK LODSTYLE=10
#exec MESH ORIGIN MESH=CoinMesh X=0 Y=0 Z=0 YAW=0 PITCH=0 ROLL=0
#exec MESHMAP SCALE MESHMAP=CoinMesh X=1.0 Y=1.0 Z=1.0
#EXEC TEXTURE IMPORT NAME=CoinTex0 FILE=TEXTURES\coinskin.bmp GROUP=Skins
#EXEC MESHMAP SETTEXTURE MESHMAP=CoinMesh NUM=0 TEXTURE=CoinTex0

//var() int CoinCounter;
var() int CoinAmount;


auto state Pickup
{
function Touch( actor Other )
{
local CoinVar P;
P.CoinCounter=P.CoinCounter+1;
log("Coins="$P.CoinCounter);

if ( ValidTouch(Other) )
{
P = CoinVar(Other);
if (P.CoinCounter<100)
{
AnnouncePickup(P);
SetRespawn();
}
}
}
}


//function outputcoinamount(actor Other)
//{
// log("coin="$CoinCounter);
//}

defaultproperties
{
HealingAmount=0
bStatic=False

}


//================================================== ===========================

var() int CoinCounter;

}
