Does anyone have any ideas on how to implement an if/then scenario with decals cleverly in MP mode?

Have added my script.



nb:
\\I have commented out the if/then scenario. because it doesn't work with it.

\\:state=11,plrdistwithin=45:plraddhealth=-1 needs to run after HUDshow or else it will not work.

\\distances and times are not accurate for purpose of testing only.

What? Are you talking about a script? If so, you use the state variable.

yippeee, this works good enough for my purposes.
I have managed to attach this to 5 separate fire decals with different sound files and targa files warning where the individual fires are. Now if only I could destroy the fires with a weapon in MP.

ps: to have more than 1 fire change where it says (hudname=ammopromptX) where X is for different HUD Targas to avoid HUD glitches.

Happy for anyone to refine this script...
eg: Destroy the fires with a weapon in MP. (creatively and without saying it can't be done!)

it can't be done. Sorry, You never posted your source. and don't say it is in the source box, have you checked the source box?

Do what I do, MONSTERTIZE IT! and post it in your message. If you really want to, you can code box it (but dont).

Ooops, here is said working script which didn't appear to upload the first time round, I will take Monsters advise and copy it into the post (at the risk of flames from others!).

Although this worked in author mode when actually compiled and tested in a 5 person network the -health damaged the hostplayer only and not the joiners who may have activated the script in their wanderings within the arena. so here is my next question....

Is there a difference between 'anywithin' and 'plrdistwithin' when it comes to hosting a game? As it only seems to damage the host player which doesn't seem fair!!
