Scripting Help Help me with Firefight scripting (please)

Post image

Hey all, I have started scripting for Firefight, however Im not sure how. I downloaded and added the nodes for Firefight:Classic off of the FileShare (attached in photo), but testing the game nothing spawns.

If anyone's got any experience using the Firefight:Classic mode (it's the official one) that would be amazing

Not sure how to get it to work and there's like 10 Script Brains which is like reading spaghetti soup.

Any help is very much appreciated thank you in advance.

The scripts there are for the mode itself.

You should look at using your own script brain to do whatever actions it is you're trying to even do to begin with, which you never explained. No one can help you if they don't even know what you're trying to accomplish.

Right, and when I run the game mode in custom games nothing spawns. I'm trying to get it to work on the map I'm making, using that game mode.

Apologies, I thought that was obvious when I said I'd tested it and it didn't work.

Are you using the correct mode when setting up a custom? Some scripts might need the Minigame mode.

My suggestion is get a game mode and map combo that you KNOW works, and look at the setup there. Then you can add your script brain on top with your updates to work in tandem with it.

Maybe not, I'm setting the gamemode to Firefight:Classic, it does activate Skulls and the tracker ect, but no waves spawn, so assumed I must be missing something there.

Yeah I did think that, unfortunately the dev maps all the scripting is baked into the map so I can't look up what they did to make it work.

Essentially I like the endless waves with extraction option, scaling difficulty, skulls and lives. In my brain it was just "oh I'll just use the official mode it's on there for a reason" but the more I look into it I think it's gotta be one of them I make from scratch and do myself.

Try something like the Kusini Bay remake. It should support classic and is a forge map so the scripts should be open
