request help! autosave system

[thorn3001]

hello everyone,
I just have a question, anyone know how to add an autosave system?
Actually I am working in a single player campaign project with Darkplaces engine.

thanks for your helping.

add a trigger brush and have its touch function be

stuffcmd(other, "save autoSave");

someone feel free to correct me if im wrong. but im pretty sure that covers it.

You need to add some QuakeC code such as a trigger_autosave with a stuffcmd / localcmd.

i.e. something like this:

Code: Select all

void() trigger_autosave_touch =
{
 if(other != player) // non-player entites can't trigger
 return;
if(self.cnt == TRUE) // trigger only once
 return;

self.cnt = TRUE;
localcmd("save autosave.sav\n");
};

void() trigger_autosave =
{
 if(deathmatch || coop) // saving in multiplay and coop = bad.
  {
   remove(self);
   return;
  }

 InitTrigger();
 self.touch = trigger_autosave_touch;
};


Add the trigger_autosave brush to your maps where you want your autosaves, then add some code to the stuff relating to dead players to autoload the autosave. (I'll let you figure out how to do the autoloading of your autosave)

EDIT: Oh darn. Ninja'd.
