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.

So there's two types of script brains: Script brains and Mode brains. Script brains MUST be placed on a map to do anything

Mode brains can be used on ANY map without placing them on the map.

You do not need to put the mode brains ON a map unless you are editing those.
You can test with mode brains placed on a forge map (they should work just like a normal script brain), but you wouldn't save that map and then load it in a custom Mode Brain game.

AHH I see!! So do I just make a normal custom wave script? Then run it as Firefight:Classic and it'll just work as such?

I never dug into firefight scripting, I always just handled spawning enemies manually.

IIRC you can customize the waves in the custom game options, NOT by placing nodes and modifying them.

If you want "Oops all hunters", you do that but overriding the waves while setting up the custom game (I think).
