Playing a FX with a use_Touch_trigger in a map

Hey guys,

following problem: As you can see below, I posted the script. If I start the map, only the music gets played, and no FX appears.
Is it proper, if I take player.origin?
I already used developer, but no errors. Music plays fine, only the FX doesn't appear. I need it only in one room, so I thought it would be okay to play the FX on the player which used the use_Touch_trigger.
I've added a few wait commands between the FXs, because I want to play the FXs in certain moments of the song, so I've calculated when which FX is needed. Did I do that in the correct way? Or is there any other way?
Do I have to add any .csv file to load the FXs ? In Call of Duty 4 actually you always have to type in the mod.csv the effects you need.

Please help me.
Thanks in advance!

What the hell it is????
player = getent("player","classname");

Use getEntArray(). And dont try to play the effects on all players, because the fps will fall to 0.

So I only have to change

player = getent("player","classname");

to

player getEntArray("player", "classname");

?

So I only have to change

player = getent("player","classname");

to

player getEntArray("player", "classname");

?

Yes, and you will get an array, NOT an object! But i think the simplest way if you change this line:
music waittill("trigger");
to this:
music waittill("trigger", player);

Awesome, it works now!

I just changed the music waittill("trigger"); to music waittill("trigger", player); and changed player = getent("player","classname"); to player getEntArray("player", "classname");

Thank you randall!

You definitely should gain a better understanding of coding - before coding. The latter change is not only unnecessary, it is wrong in general:

Code:

---

player getEntArray("player", "classname");

---

This doesn't make sense at all. You'd better remove this line from your script and try to find out by yourself why it's wrong.
