Stu?

[{SW}SkyWalker]

Somebody want to tell me how to put this code in? I'm don't exactly know how you techies do it still learning. And if I change the coding on the autoexe.cs it says windows cannot open this file so I open it with a notepad am I headed in the right direction if so where do I go from there?

Something about that script triggered my OCD, so I rewrote it.

Code: Select all

EditActionMap("playMap.sae");

function addTaunt(%msg)
{
   $taunt0 = %msg;
   $taunt[$taunts++] = %msg;
}

addTaunt("DAMMIT!  ...I just washed this thing~wcolor6");
addTaunt("That just never stops being funny~wcheer2");
addTaunt("...and that's why they call me THE DEATH PILOT~wtakcovr");
addTaunt("I think I found your liver~wovrhere");
addTaunt("...another victim of THE DEATH PILOT~wtaunt10");
addTaunt("Thanks for flying S']['U A][R!~wcheer3");
addTaunt("SORRY  ...You were standing right where I needed to fly~wsorry");

function rndTaunt()
{
   %rnd = floor(getRandom() * $taunts);
   $lastTaunt = %rnd + ($lastTaunt <= %rnd);
   say(0, $taunt[$lastTaunt]);
}

bindCommand(keyboard0, make, "space", TO, "rndTaunt();");

My version makes the first and last message the same, and adds one too the random number if it is greater than or equal to the last message id.

This way, the probabilities for each message are exactly equal, and you don't have to manually number your messages or modify the function every time you add or subtract a message.

Also, it is more efficient, so it will take a fraction of a millisecond less to process.

Maybe you can use that fraction of a millisecond to unstick your throttle.

Space? What do you use to jump/ski?

I'm left-handed so my keyboard config is definitely non-standard:
I keep my mouse on the left side of my keyboard.
I use my arrow keys for movement, so my right CTRL becomes my jump.
I throw grenades with my right ALT.
ENTER and right SHIFT are used to change weapons up and down

I'll give it a try and see if there's a difference.
I'd also like to be able to add a few more taunts, but I have no clue on how to add them to the "random" order.

I'm sure Skywalker would appreciate a stand-alone, downloadable version that only requires a line to be added to his autoexec file.

...so I open it with a notepad am I headed in the right direction

Yes.

if so where do I go from there?

copy and paste the code (either mine or perrin's) to the beginning of the text.
Change the taunts to what you want: (type your own text between the first " and the ~for each taunt)

You may want to change the sounds to match your text. the sounds are after the ~and always start with a w.
EXAMPLE: wcheer3 = "Alright!" (can someone post a list of them?)

After you're done, close the autoexec.cs file and save the changes.

EDIT: Perrin, I tried your code and I get nothing

[{SW}SkyWalker]

Sounds easy I'll do that and Wow I wouldn't be able to play with your setup I would score -5 a game. And if I use perrs than how do what button do I push to use them?

[perrinoia]

To use my script, simply modify the lines that start with

Code: Select all

addTaunt("

and end with

Code: Select all

");

Replace the quotes with whatever phrase you want. You can add as many as you want (or until Tribes runs out of memory).

Also, change the keybind at the bottom of the script... The word "space" can be replaced with whichever key you prefer.

The following is a list of voice files that you can append to the end of your messages (after the ~).

Sounds easy I'll do that and Wow I wouldn't be able to play with your setup I would score -5 a game.

I just tried perrin's code and it didn't work.

And if I use perrs than how do what button do I push to use them?

Use my code for now.
Choose a key that isn't being used for anything else.
Enter that key to replace the word space at the end of the code where it says:

bindCommand(keyboard0, make, "space", TO, "RandomTaunt();");

If you still have problems, send me a list of the taunts you want, the voices to go with them and what key you want to activate them with.

I'll edit the code for you.
This would probably be best since your spelling is so bad.

1.You Just Got Sky'd
2.I left you a SUPRISE... What's that? ... BOOM!
3.Hide your kid's hide your wife's {SW}SkyWalker is here!
4.Did you just see that? I just... I'm so shocked... I can't even tell you how happy I am!
5.Great Game!
6.Troll King of 2014 Is here!
Tell me if you think of more.

[S']['U]

OK, but what voices do you want for each one?
...and what key should trigger it?

[{SW}SkyWalker]

If you mean like tribes voices than male3 otherwise what you think would go best for them and 1 2 3 etc. Numpad

I think you misunderstand.
One key activates the taunt.
You have no choice which one is played... that's what RANDOM means.
A different one will play every time you hit the key, but you won't know which one.
By "voice" I mean what do you want the voice to say?

I've already corrected your spelling errors and assigned appropriate voices to each taunt.
You only gave me six taunts and there's room for seven, so I need one more from you.
...and I still need to know what key should trigger it.

Considering that you now know how this works (I hope), you may want to change some of your taunts to something more general.
By "general" I mean you should choose taunts that will all be appropriate whenever you hit the key.

For example: "GREAT GAME!" makes little sense if you hit the key during the middle of the game.
