I just started trying to learn scar coding so im pretty much an newbie in it,
i made a map with 2 scar markers on it and typed in the following code and saved it under mymap.scar in the mp folder with it but somehow it doesnt seem to work

Code:

import("ScarUtil.scar")

function OnGameSetup()
 
 --Disables annhiliate mod
 g_CheckAnnihilate = false
 
end

function OnInit()

	--Give resources
	Player_SetResource(player1, RT_Munition, 650)
	Player_SetResource(player2, RT_Munition, 650)
	Player_SetResource(player3, RT_Munition, 650)
	Player_SetResource(player4, RT_Munition, 650)
	Player_SetResource(player5, RT_Munition, 650)
	Player_SetResource(player6, RT_Munition, 650)
	
	--Override Popcap
	Player_SetPopCapOverride(player1, 255)
	Player_SetPopCapOverride(player2, 255)
	Player_SetPopCapOverride(player3, 255)
	Player_SetPopCapOverride(player4, 255)
	Player_SetPopCapOverride(player5, 255)
	Player_SetPopCapOverride(player6, 255)
	
	--enable upgrades
	Player_SetAbilityAvailability(player1, BP_GetAbilityBlueprint("abilities/ally_throw_grenade.lua"), ITEM_UNLOCKED)
	Player_SetAbilityAvailability(player1, BP_GetAbilityBlueprint("abilities/ally_throw_sticky_bombs.lua"), ITEM_UNLOCKED)
	Player_SetAbilityAvailability(player2, BP_GetAbilityBlueprint("abilities/axis_throw_grenade.lua"), ITEM_UNLOCKED)
	
	--Spawnarmies
	sg_allied_forces = SGroup_CreateIfNotFound("sg_allied_forces")
	Util_CreateSquadsAtMarker(player1, sg_allied_forces, SBP.ALLIES.RIFLEMEN, mkr_1, 5)
	Util_CreateSquadsAtMarker(player1, sg_allied_forces, SBP.ALLIES.RANGER, mkr_1, 4)
	Util_CreateSquadsAtMarker(player1, sg_allied_forces, SBP.ALLIES.SHERMAN, mkr_1, 4)
	Cmd_Move(sg_allied_forces, mkr_2)
	
	sg_axis_forces = SGroup_CreateIfNotFound("sg_axis_forces")
	Util_CreateSquadsAtMarker(player2, sg_axis_forces, SBP.AXIS.VOLKSGRENADIER, mkr_2, 6)
	Util_CreateSquadsAtMarker(player2, sg_axis_forces, SBP.AXIS.GRENADIER, mkr_2, 5)
	Util_CreateSquadsAtMarker(player2, sg_axis_forces, SBP.AXIS.PANZER, mkr_2, 3)
	Cmd_Move(sg_axis_forces, mkr_1)
	
end

what are you trying to do? il take a peek.

[fldash]

You aren't defining the player numbers anywhere...

Do this:

Code:

	for i = 1, World_GetPlayerCount() do
		local player = World_GetPlayerAt(i);
		Player_SetResource(player, RT_Munition, 650)
	end

[|-|Cozmo|-|]

if you haven't allready read this, people said they found it useful.

@ frsd: i wouldn't try to use loops YET unless you allready know other code stuff, took me quite a while to get my head round it....

[|-|Cozmo|-|]

no offence fl-, but when you first start the simple but longer stuff might be easier... i may be wrong but this might be easier to understand

Code:

 -- Imports all the important scar helper functions and stuff for our use
import("ScarUtil.scar")

function OnGameSetup()
-- disable annihilate check that ends game if no critical buildings are in game
   g_CheckAnnihilate = false

-- define player variables used by various functions
  player1 = World_GetPlayerAt(1)
  player2 = World_GetPlayerAt(2)
-- add as many as you want.
end

which reminds me, i need to dig up my convoy mission and finish it...

[frsd]

the link you gave i have already checked through, but there was no full example except the mission which was pretty complicated, but thanks for responding

[|-|Cozmo|-|]

i have to say that mission is VERY simple. no offence, its just a lot of words. My RTC code even confuses me sometimes... 

[|-|Cozmo|-|]

anyway, what do you want done and il give you an example.

[frsd]

hmm still something doesnt seem to work

but i think an working example should do

[|-|Cozmo|-|]

as in NOTHING happens, is the file name correct and all that stuff, and what do you want to happen? tell me and il give you an example...

[frsd]

well it should normally give all players 650MU unlock grenades(for both sides) and stickies and spawn

5 Riflemen
4 Ranger's
4 Sherman's
---
6 Volk's
5 Grenadier's
3 PanzerIV's

later on i wanted to add a win condition if one of the armies would die.

the map is called "6p_own_town.sgb" and the scar file "6p_own_town.scar", so that should be right

[|-|Cozmo|-|]

thats easy, gimme a sec...

[|-|Cozmo|-|]

ok there is propibly some syntax errors in there since i dont have CoH Installed and therefore cannot open corsix to check for syntax errors... also it might not work becuse it came off the top of my head... just test and tweek...

Code:

 -- Imports all the important scar helper functions and stuff for our use
import("ScarUtil.scar")

function OnGameSetup()
-- disable annihilate check that ends game if no critical buildings are in game
  g_CheckAnnihilate = false

-- define player variables used by various functions
  player1 = World_GetPlayerAt(1)
  player2 = World_GetPlayerAt(2)
  player3 = World_GetPlayerAt(3)
  player4 = World_GetPlayerAt(4)
  player5 = World_GetPlayerAt(5)
  player6 = World_GetPlayerAt(6)
end

function OnInit()

-- give all players the Mun
for i = 1, World_GetPlayerCount() do
	local Plr = World_GetPlayerAt(i);
	Player_SetResource(player, RT_Munition, 650)
end

-- override pop
for i = 1, World_GetPlayerCount() do
	local Plr = World_GetPlayerAt(i);
	Player_SetPopCapOverride(plr, 255)
end

-- Unlock nades, stickies etc.
local player = Game_GetLocalPlayer()

	if Player_GetRace(player) == 0 or Player_GetRace(player) == 1 then
		for i = 1, World_GetPlayerCount() do
			local plr = World_GetPlayerAt(i);
			Player_SetAbilityAvailability(plr, BP_GetAbilityBlueprint("abilities/ally_throw_grenade.lua"), ITEM_UNLOCKED)
			Player_SetAbilityAvailability(plr, BP_GetAbilityBlueprint("abilities/ally_throw_sticky_bombs.lua"), ITEM_UNLOCKED)

	elseif Player_GetRace(player) == 2 or Player_GetRace(player) == 3  then
		Player_SetAbilityAvailability(player2, BP_GetAbilityBlueprint("abilities/axis_throw_grenade.lua"), ITEM_UNLOCKED)
	end


-- spawn armies
for i = 1, World_GetPlayerCount() do
	Local Plr = World_GetPlayerAt(i)
	if Player_GetRace(Plr) == 0 or Player_GetRace(Plr) == 1 then
		sg_allied_forces = SGroup_CreateIfNotFound("sg_allied_forces")
		Util_CreateSquadsAtMarker(Plr, sg_allied_forces, SBP.ALLIES.RIFLEMEN, mkr_1, 5)
		Util_CreateSquadsAtMarker(plr, sg_allied_forces, SBP.ALLIES.RANGER, mkr_1, 4)
		Util_CreateSquadsAtMarker(plr, sg_allied_forces, SBP.ALLIES.SHERMAN, mkr_1, 4)
		Cmd_Move(sg_allied_forces, mkr_2)

	elseif Player_GetRace(Plr) == 2 or Player_GetRace(Plr) == 3 then
		sg_axis_forces = SGroup_CreateIfNotFound("sg_axis_forces")
		Util_CreateSquadsAtMarker(plr, sg_axis_forces, SBP.AXIS.VOLKSGRENADIER, mkr_2, 6)
		Util_CreateSquadsAtMarker(plr, sg_axis_forces, SBP.AXIS.GRENADIER, mkr_2, 5)
		Util_CreateSquadsAtMarker(plr2, sg_axis_forces, SBP.AXIS.PANZER, mkr_2, 3)
		Cmd_Move(sg_axis_forces, mkr_1)
	end
end
end
Scar_AddInit(OnInit)

i checked the syntax and found 2 errors and repaired them, but now when i test it i get a fatal error message
and does the "if" need at "end"?
because of my scar skill im having problems repairing it
----------Fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yuhu, scar variables are pretty case sensitive as i have now noticed and as i have expierience with BlitzBasic i just change the Variables so they all worked, thanks for the example cozmo

[|-|Cozmo|-|]

guessed so, what are they? the scar errors?

[frsd]

well the 2 errors where line 40 you forgot "End" to close the "for" loop
and line 47 you wrote "Local" which the case wasn't right, right is "local"
then the scar errors where that sometimes you used "Plr" or "plr" at will and also mixing them up so you mostly had 2 variables instead of 1.

[|-|Cozmo|-|]

well then edit it:), you can do what ever you want with it.

Lol, a loop is easy to understand if you wrap your head around it and it is only a few lines of code, as opposed to many.

[|-|Cozmo|-|]

long ones are not. i was learning on mannerheims DDay code....
