In Rush, if you try to start the game in single player mode, you just get an error message and the game is drawn. I wonder how you make the triggers to do this. I can't understand which triggers Tux uses.

There is one by Tux if I'm right

How good. I actually wasted 20 minutes searching through the tutorials sections, and I thought it wasn't there, but now it suddenly pops up.

ADDITION:
Why does this happen? I wnat some explanation here.

Ok, I am not sure about how it works EXACTLY, so I'll keep it vague:

In Singleplayer, the Center View action works like a wait, so the following actions are executed AFTER the center view has finished. In Multiplayer the following actions are executed without delay.
The other trigger is fired before center view finished and therefore you can detect how center view was executed - SP or MP style.

Yeah, that's basically it spines. It's a wait blocker that blocks until the player's view hits its target. In multiplayer however it's instant.

woot

I BET I read it once in one of your tutorials, Tux

but was so long ago and I didn't remember exactly anymore, so I figured from the triggers

Actually I wasn't the one who came up with the method. I'd asked if there was way to do it myself for Rush, and after a discussion me, Bolt, and Chu figured out that method.

is it still vulnerable to the 'esc' key?

Is that true? +_+; I thought NO TRIGGER can be launched before all actions from the previus trigger from the list are done. Can someone expain me that matter precisely?

Are there other variable incrementing speed in SP than in MP? +_;

I mean exacly what I wrote. Some explained to me at this forums that triggers are scanned from top to bottom, and before trigger can run, actions of the previous one have to be done. Can you tell me clearly how does trigger list works?

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Velendesril on 2006-11-07 at 16:12:30

They don't HAVE to be done, but most of the time they are. Sometimes they can't run, so they don't do anything.

I mean, what you mean by "Are there other variable incrementing speed in SP than in MP? +_;"

Anyway, for your question:
Lets use C

x = 1;
y = -1;
if (y < 0) { do something } // Trigger 1
if (x > 0) { do something } // Trigger 2

both ifs are executed, from top to bottom, the condition of the "Trigger 1" has nothing to do with the condition of the "Trigger 2"
Thats what happen in triggers.

if (x > 0) { do something }
else if (y < 0) { do another thing } // Triggers don't work like this

Thanks, yeah I knew about it. I was asking about slightly other thing. I think I found my answer: actions from trigger are performed and finished one-by-one to the moment when we reach first wait or wait-including one(like transmission or center screen in SP) - in that moment game skips to the next trigger and start to perform it's actions but previous unfinished trigger is being ended up when comes it's turn in the next cycle if the wait time already passed. Then it's started from the action after the wait action that have breaked it last time. Am I right?

I think so.
I am almost sure, altough, I can't test it right now.
