Scripting Problems

[Pure Hellspawn]

I am having problems scripting an event when three different kinds of monsters die. These monsters are a CyberMastermind, a Cyberdemon, and a LordofHeresy.

I do not know how to script an event which checks to see if each is dead. I also do not know the thing ID's.

First of all, give them all the same TID (Thing ID).

Then, use this script (using 1 as the TID for this example)

Script 1 OPEN
{
while(thingcount(0,1) > 0)
{
Delay(35);
}
[whatever the event is goes here]
}

I didn't know how the thingcount worked so I did this:

#include "zcommon.acs"
int var = 3;

Script 1 (void)
{
var = var - 1;
if (var == 0)
{
Door_Open(1,64);
}
}

Each monster you kill will execute the script once, there might be better ways of doing this but this one worked for me.

Alternatively...

Replace "var = var - 1;" with "var-=1;".

You solved the problem. Thanks a ton.
