[Release] Interactive Boxes

[Yamato]

Hello

I decided to work on this to help @DidUknowiPwn with his zombie mod. With this script you can spawn boxes that when you are close to them, you press F and they give you something. I have already made 2 special boxes for you as an example, one that gives you ammo and one that gives you stalker perk (from mw3).

Code:

AddBoxType( type, shader, function, string, minimap ) { if( ! isDefined( level.boxes ) ) level.boxes = []; level.boxes[ type ][ 0 ] = shader; level.boxes[ type ][ 1 ] = function; level.boxes[ type ][ 2 ] = string; level.boxes[ type ][ 3 ] = minimap; } SpawnBox( position, angle, model, type ) { block = spawn( "script_model", position ); block setModel( model ); block.angles = angle; block Solid(); block CloneBrushmodelToScriptmodel( level.airDropCrateCollision ); curObjID = maps\mp\gametypes\_gameobjects::getNextObjID(); objective_add( curObjID, "invisible", ( 0, 0, 0 ) ); objective_position( curObjID, position ); objective_state( curObjID, "active" ); objective_team( curObjID, "allies" ); objective_icon( curObjID, level.boxes[ type ][ 3 ] ); block thread BoxShader( level.boxes[ type ][ 0 ] ); block thread BoxAction( type ); } BoxAction( type ) { self endon( "death" ); self endon( "disconnect" ); boxtrigger = Spawn( "trigger_radius", self.origin, 0, 50, 72 ); wait ( 0.05 ); while( 1 ) { boxtrigger waittill( "trigger", player ); if( !isplayer( player ) ) continue; while( player IsTouching( boxtrigger ) ) { if( VectorDot( anglesToForward( player.angles ), VectorNormalize( boxtrigger.origin - player.origin ) ) > 0.766 ) { player setLowerMessage( "activate", level.boxes[ type ][ 2 ] ); if( player UseButtonPressed() ) { player thread [[ level.boxes[ type ][ 1 ] ]](); wait ( 0.5 ); } } else player ClearLowerMessage( "activate", 1 ); wait ( 0.05 ); } player ClearLowerMessage( "activate", 1 ); } } BoxShader( shader ) { self endon( "death" ); self endon( "disconnect" ); trigger = Spawn( "trigger_radius", self.origin, 0, 150, 72 ); trigger.icon = NewHudElem( ); trigger.icon SetShader( shader, 50, 50 ); trigger.icon.alpha = 0; trigger.icon.color = ( 1, 1, 1 ); trigger thread UpdateShaderPos(); trigger.icon SetWayPoint( true, true ); wait ( 0.05 ); while( 1 ) { trigger waittill( "trigger", player ); if( !isplayer( player ) ) continue; while( player IsTouching( trigger ) ) { if( VectorDot( anglesToForward( player.angles ), VectorNormalize( trigger.origin - player.origin ) ) > 0.766 ) FadeIcon( trigger.icon, "in" ); else FadeIcon( trigger.icon, "out" ); wait ( 0.05 ); } FadeIcon( trigger.icon, "out" ); } } FadeIcon( icon, what ) { if( what == "in" ) { icon FadeOverTime( 0.2 ); icon.alpha = 1; wait ( 0.2 ); } else if( what == "out" ) { icon FadeOverTime( 0.2 ); icon.alpha = 0; wait ( 0.2 ); } else { if( icon.alpha == 0 ) { icon FadeOverTime( 0.2 ); icon.alpha = 1; wait ( 0.2 ); } else { icon FadeOverTime( 0.2 ); icon.alpha = 0; wait ( 0.2 ); } } } UpdateShaderPos() { while( isDefined( self ) ) { self.icon.x = self.origin[ 0 ]; self.icon.y = self.origin[ 1 ]; self.icon.z = self.origin[ 2 ] + 55; wait ( 0.05 ); } } AmmoRefill() { self maps\mp\killstreaks\_airdrop::refillAmmo(); self playLocalSound( "ammo_crate_use" ); } SetStalker() { self endon( "death" ); self endon( "disconnect" ); while( 1 ) { if( self ADSButtonPressed() ) self SetMoveSpeedScale( 1.3 ); else { self SetMoveSpeedScale( 1 ); self maps\mp\gametypes\_weapons::updateMoveSpeedScale( "primary" ); } wait ( 0.05 ); } }

For using them, first you need to add in Init() the following:

Code:

AddBoxType( "name", "shader that displays over it", ::FunctionThatGivesYouItsEffect, "Text that appears when you are close and looking to it", "shader that will appear on minimap" );

For example (with these you configure the ammo and stalker boxes, the stalker one would need better shaders, I havent looked for a proper one):

Code:

AddBoxType( "ammo", "waypoint_ammo_friendly", ::AmmoRefill, "Hold ^3[{+activate}]^7 for an Ammo Refill", "waypoint_ammo_friendly" ); AddBoxType( "stalker", "specialty_pistoldeath_upgrade", ::SetStalker, "Hold ^3[{+activate}]^7 to get Stalker perk", "specialty_pistoldeath_upgrade" );

And then to spawn a box, just this:

Code:

SpawnBox( ( 259, -566, 30 ), ( 0, 0, 0 ), "com_plasticcase_beige_big", "ammo" );

In the example above ( 259, -566, 30 ) is the position, ( 0, 0, 0 ) the angles of the box, "com_plasticcase_beige_big" is the model I used on the box and "ammo" the kind of box I spawn.

Thanks to @DidUknowiPwn for the screenshot and for testing it.
