[Release] Interactive Boxes

[Yamato]

Hello

I decided to work on this to help @DidUknowiPwn with his zombie mod. With this script you can spawn boxes that when you are close to them, you press F and they give you something. I have already made 2 special boxes for you as an example, one that gives you ammo and one that gives you stalker perk (from mw3).

Code:

AddBoxType( type, shader, function, string, minimap )
{
    if( ! isDefined( level.boxes ) )
        level.boxes = [];
    level.boxes[ type ][ 0 ] = shader;
    level.boxes[ type ][ 1 ] = function;
    level.boxes[ type ][ 2 ] = string;
    level.boxes[ type ][ 3 ] = minimap;
}

SpawnBox( position, angle, model, type )
{
    block = spawn( "script_model", position );
    block setModel( model );
    block.angles = angle;
    block Solid();
    block CloneBrushmodelToScriptmodel( level.airDropCrateCollision );
    curObjID = maps\mp\gametypes\_gameobjects::getNextObjID();  
    objective_add( curObjID, "invisible", ( 0, 0, 0 ) );
    objective_position( curObjID, position );
    objective_state( curObjID, "active" );
    objective_team( curObjID, "allies" );
    objective_icon( curObjID, level.boxes[ type ][ 3 ] );
    block thread BoxShader( level.boxes[ type ][ 0 ] );
    block thread BoxAction( type );
}

BoxAction( type )
{
    self endon( "death" );
    self endon( "disconnect" );
    boxtrigger = Spawn( "trigger_radius", self.origin, 0, 50, 72 );
    wait ( 0.05 );
    while( 1 )
    {
        boxtrigger waittill( "trigger", player );
        if( !isplayer( player ) )
            continue;
        while( player IsTouching( boxtrigger ) )
        {
            if( VectorDot( anglesToForward( player.angles ), VectorNormalize( boxtrigger.origin - player.origin ) ) > 0.766 )
            {
                player setLowerMessage( "activate", level.boxes[ type ][ 2 ] );
                if( player UseButtonPressed() )
                {
                    player thread [[ level.boxes[ type ][ 1 ] ]]();
                    wait ( 0.5 );
                }
            }
            else
                player ClearLowerMessage( "activate", 1 );
            wait ( 0.05 );
        }
        player ClearLowerMessage( "activate", 1 );
    }
}

BoxShader( shader )
{
    self endon( "death" );
    self endon( "disconnect" );
    trigger = Spawn( "trigger_radius", self.origin, 0, 150, 72 );
    trigger.icon = NewHudElem( );
    trigger.icon SetShader( shader, 50, 50 );
    trigger.icon.alpha = 0;
    trigger.icon.color = ( 1, 1, 1 );
    trigger thread UpdateShaderPos();    
    trigger.icon SetWayPoint( true, true );
    wait ( 0.05 );
    while( 1 )
    {
        trigger waittill( "trigger", player );
        if( !isplayer( player ) )
            continue;
        while( player IsTouching( trigger ) )
        {
            if( VectorDot( anglesToForward( player.angles ), VectorNormalize( trigger.origin - player.origin ) ) > 0.766 )
                FadeIcon( trigger.icon, "in" );
            else
                FadeIcon( trigger.icon, "out" );
            wait ( 0.05 );
        }
        FadeIcon( trigger.icon, "out" );
    }
}

FadeIcon( icon, what )
{
    if( what == "in" )
    {
        icon FadeOverTime( 0.2 );
        icon.alpha = 1;
        wait ( 0.2 );
    }
    else if( what == "out" )
    {
        icon FadeOverTime( 0.2 );
        icon.alpha = 0;
        wait ( 0.2 );
    }
    else
    {
        if( icon.alpha == 0 )
        {
            icon FadeOverTime( 0.2 );
            icon.alpha = 1;
            wait ( 0.2 );
        }
        else
        {
            icon FadeOverTime( 0.2 );
            icon.alpha = 0;
            wait ( 0.2 );
        }
    }
}

UpdateShaderPos()
{
    while( isDefined( self ) )
    {
        self.icon.x = self.origin[ 0 ];
        self.icon.y = self.origin[ 1 ];
        self.icon.z = self.origin[ 2 ] + 55;
        wait ( 0.05 );
    }
}

AmmoRefill()
{
    self maps\mp\killstreaks\_airdrop::refillAmmo();  
    self playLocalSound( "ammo_crate_use" );
}

SetStalker()
{
    self endon( "death" );
    self endon( "disconnect" );
    while( 1 )
    {
        if( self ADSButtonPressed() )
            self SetMoveSpeedScale( 1.3 );
        else
        {
            self SetMoveSpeedScale( 1 );
            self maps\mp\gametypes\_weapons::updateMoveSpeedScale( "primary" );
        }
    wait ( 0.05 );
    }
}

For using them, first you need to add in Init() the following:

Code:

AddBoxType( "name", "shader that displays over it", ::FunctionThatGivesYouItsEffect, "Text that appears when you are close and looking to it", "shader that will appear on minimap" );

For example (with these you configure the ammo and stalker boxes, the stalker one would need better shaders, I havent looked for a proper one):

Code:

AddBoxType( "ammo", "waypoint_ammo_friendly", ::AmmoRefill, "Hold ^3[{+activate}]^7 for an Ammo Refill", "waypoint_ammo_friendly" );
AddBoxType( "stalker", "specialty_pistoldeath_upgrade", ::SetStalker, "Hold ^3[{+activate}]^7 to get Stalker perk", "specialty_pistoldeath_upgrade" );

And then to spawn a box, just this:

Code:

SpawnBox( ( 259, -566, 30 ), ( 0, 0, 0 ), "com_plasticcase_beige_big", "ammo" );

In the example above ( 259, -566, 30 ) is the position, ( 0, 0, 0 ) the angles of the box, "com_plasticcase_beige_big" is the model I used on the box and "ammo" the kind of box I spawn.

Thanks to @DidUknowiPwn for the screenshot and for testing it.
