Exact barrier blow-up callbacks - ObsidianLegion - 08-23-2011

I need the callbacks and such to combine two chemicals and make them blow up a barrier, including the scripts for making that barrier dissapear using smoke and explosion noises.

I'll piece them together once I have them Smile

Thanks Cool

All of the functions are on the script functions wiki page. Here.

Use an item combination and make the barrier(s) inactive. Use timers & variables to control the event.

And I have NO idea how to use variables. Timers make me confuzzled too

You should script simple things and get knowledge before wanting to do complex scripts which you can't do by yourself and have to ask the community to make.
Just look up scripts from the original game and try to understand them.

You need to start from simple stuff indeed. You cannot script heavy stuff if you dont even know how to look up everything from your bible, as all of it is there.

Once you have studied how to use it and you have basic understanding of things, you can go more complex stuff.

Scripting is hardest thing of all mapping imo. It is most time consuming and includes working on problem after problem and thinking how to make work.

Asking help doesn't help yourself. Next time you are here to ask again Tongue. Don't get me wrong, I am here only to give you hints how to become better. I started scripting too only 1 and half head ago. Thankly I got hang of it quickly because I have pretty good head. But yeah, you should look into most basics first and once you get stuck, then we can help you more easily, then start from scratch Smile. People study from their own mistakes.

Big thanks to you guys, but I wanted to challenge myself. I believe it's the way forward. I'm doing this so it won't be boring, you know? All for you guys Smile
