Welcome to the on how to add a german mortar team to your map tutorial. Its very simple, the most part is done in radiant and it evolves very little scripting. Just follow the steps bellow and you should be fine. Step 1. Creating a trigger brush First step will be to create a trigger brush that will spawn the mortar team when the player crosses it. Simply draw out a trigger brush and make it a trigger multiple. Now give the trigger these values. key: targetname Value: mortar_team Step 2. Creating AI actors Now we are going to create the mortar team itself Simply insert any Axis AI actor that you want and make him a Spawner. Once you have created the actor connect the trigger to the actor (NOT the actor to the trigger or it won't work). Step 3. Setting the destination of the team using a pathnode Place a pathnode on the map where you want your team to go to once they are spawnd. Once your team reaches this node they will set up their mortar and start doing their thing. once you've placed the node connect the actor to the node (NOT the node to the actor). Step 4. Placing script origins where you want your mortars to land Next step will be to place script origins on your map where you want the mortars to land (the mortars will randomly land on one of these origins). Simply place the script origins and then connect the pathnode to the origins. And thats it for radiant. Step 5. Scripting Its very simple, all you have to do is add the following line to the main section of your yourmapname.gsc file maps\_mortarteam::main(); So it looks something like this main() { maps\_load::main(); maps\_mortarteam::main(); level.player takeallweapons(); level.player giveWeapon ("m1garand"); level.player giveWeapon ("colt"); level.player giveWeapon ("fraggrenade"); level.player switchToWeapon ("m1garand"); } edited on May. 2, 2006 11:29 am by Seawolf

Nice job on the tut Seawolf. Just a quick question though. It might be confusing for some people because you only mention one actor in the tut. So does the trigger target both actors? Since it's a mortarteam. edited on May. 2, 2006 03:04 pm by Bodger2

Yes I knew that VIP, I mean mrvip, its at the top of _mortarteam.gsc. I was just being nice and giving him a chance to explain. As for the mortar explosions, you have to add another line to your maps gsc. level.mortar = loadfx("insert efx path here"); You can have different types of mortar impacts depending on the style of map it is. Looks like my friend StrYder's got some updating to do. Edit: How the hex did that happen now mrvip's post is below mine. edited on May. 5, 2006 02:07 am by Bodger2
