You mean print?

And do you mean print them out, like from your printer?

I think he means display a string such as

"Nod Obelisk destroyed"

I really don't know mr time... I'm not well versed in .dll wizardry.

If that is the case, I am sure that's possible.

That's almost the same like Display_Int - and not working (I said multiplayer Wink)

I have another bad idea of printing a string but I have to test it Wink

Printing strings with a building controller works fine Smile
Now I can add damage/destroyed reportings for turrets etc too Smile


@Dante: That would result in an error Wink

Turrets are vehicles, not structures.

Along the lines of what I wanted a script to do. The JFW_Custom_Damage_Object doesn't work properly. Where you wanted the messages, I wanted the sounds. Does this script cause the sounds to trigger too?

Hopefully it will work and you can get in the next dll release. Then I can demo the method of making CTF mode working in all it's glory.

The script uses strings from strings.tdb - and you can add sounds to scripts - so I think it will work.
I'll test the turret script now - wasn't able to test it because my c&c_field.lvl is damaged and causes CCR crash ... damn Very Happy


EDIT:
General Havoc:
Which script you want exactly - maybe I can help you Smile

Well originally Jonathan Wilson wrote "JFW_Custom_Damage_Object" that was meant to damage a building controller when a custom was sent to the object containing the script thus playing the buildings damage EVA announcement and showing the text in the chat box.

However the script didn't work - just killed the building no matter what the damage paramter was set to and not even the building destroyed message came up.

Basically I need a script that uses a building controller damage sounds when a custom is sent to the script. Much like your message one but with sounds.

The CTF stuff is not relevent as it involves other scripts to work with this one.

That's what I wrote - TFX_Display_String_Building_Announcement´:)
When I finished it (I have to do some last tests) I can give you the dll Smile

It sets building health to 1 and then destroys it - each time the script is used

Yeah that would be great. Make sure you send it to JW too so he can include it with the 1.4 release.

You need to destroy the buildings used for announcements when the other buildings are destroyed.

What about damging the building controller? Can't you set it to damage a building controller by something like 1 and set the health of the building to someting like "9999999" - then kill it with a script when the game is over (CTF + Team DM mode skill the controller when the game ends) as for C&C mode, you need to kill it some other way.

In C&C mode there is no other way.
And if you only want a sound you don't need a building controller...

The building controller is used otherwise you get the server side bug where only the host can hear sounds. Building controllers transmit globally via the strings.tdb.

For C&C mode, another script could be wrote, so when all of a teams buildings are destroyed, a script will destroy the last one. IE using death send custom on the teams buildings and the new script triggers when it has received X amount of customs or something.
