I am able to link the two gates when copy and pasted from the startgate demo mission.

The problem I'm having is introducing a 3rd gate. I am using add actions to call the gates from the dhd instead of the triggers, this works fina as tested with the first two gates that are used from the demo mission. But when i dial earth from the 3rd gate it just connects the first two gates instead of from the 3rd gate to the earth of px-101 gate (depending on which one i dial to)

Any ideas where im going wrong. Thanks

What do you mean you're using "add actions"? You're using the "AddAction[]" command in the dhd's init field? If that's what you're doing, it's probable you've just copied-pasted the init field for the 3rd gate, and since the init command is copied-pasted, it will keep telling the first 2 gates to dial unless you change the parameters and adapt it to each gate.

Yes i am using the addaction [] in the dhd init field. I have three .sqs files "goearth" "gopx101" and "goabydos"

in goearth i have

Code: [Select]

[Gate1,"Earth",0] exec "\dsf_sg_dhd\sqs\AI.sqs"in gopx101

Code: [Select]

[Gate2,"PX-101",0] exec "\dsf_sg_dhd\sqs\AI.sqs"and in goabydos

Code: [Select]

[Gate3,"abydos",0] exec "\dsf_sg_dhd\sqs\AI.sqs"
the gates are named "gate1", "gate2" and "gate3" with

Code: [Select]

[this,"PX-101",[26,15,5,36,11,14],1,false,"0 setfog 1"] exec "\DSF_SG_DHD\sqs\CreateIdentity.sqs"

Code: [Select]

[this,"Earth",[28,26,5,36,11,29],1,false,"0 setfog 0"] exec "\DSF_SG_DHD\sqs\CreateIdentity.sqs"

Code: [Select]

[this,"Abydos",[27,7,15,32,12,30],1,false,"0 setfog 0"] exec "\DSF_SG_DHD\sqs\CreateIdentity.sqs"
In there init field (gate 1 = first line of code, gate 2 second line etc)

What am i doing wrong?

[Mix-Martes86]

Hummm... I am not sure of what's wrong with it... I'd think that executing for example the same "goabydos.sqs" in all 3 gates would result in an error, where the same gates keep activating since that's what the script says, but I can't confirm it without being able to test the game (deleted from HD).

Ahh, I really want to try and sort it ! Trouble is it isn't too much hassle sorting it yet as the lag on sarahni island is insane. Can't understand why it lags so much, runs fine on rhamadi as is reletivly small island. Any one know how to sort this?

Code: [Select]

[this,"PX-101",[26,15,5,36,11,14],1,false,"0 setfog 1"]
If i use just this will it set the glyphs instead of random glyphs each time? and what does the "1,false, "0 setfog 1""" represent?

[Mix-Martes86]

In the - 1,false, "0 setfog 1" - line, the "1" is the gate's point of origin, the "false" I don't remember what it was, and the setfog thing is to make the climate change instantaneously so it gives the sensation of not just travelling to another localized point in the island, but to actually some place much further (like a planet). Combining that with the SGX map is what made missions in OFP look realistic.

Ahh i see, thanks! Does anyone know of a way to stop the lag when using the gates on an island like sarahni?
