Getting the is_tagged SEXPT to work.
on: July 31, 2003, 07:30:46 pm
Alright, for some reason my tagged SEXPTs don't seem to be working the code as-is at the moment is:

+when
|_+is_tagged
....|_NTC Oakland
....+send message
....|_#Command
....|_High
....|_c1tagged

Now TAGing is one of the few SEXPTs I haven't played around with. I searched the forum and checked VWatch for a SEXPT reference but there doesn't seem to be one with any information on this SEXPT.

1) It's SEXP, not SEXPT.  It stands for symbolic expression.

2) Is-tagged does not and cannot work in the commercial FS2 engine.  New code had to be written for it to function.  Therefore, if you want to use the is-tagged sexp, you will need to download and use fs2_open, available from the Source Code Project.

Put this in your profile if you know someone who is fighting, has survived, or has died from an awp no scope.

They didn't use is-tagged. There are other SEXPs that deal with Tagging. They were used instead.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.

I have just experienced this problem, too. I realized that the is-tagged doesn't work, instead, the 'has-been-tagged-delay' has some use, but the is-tagged and has-been-tagged-delay is very different in the case I wanted to use them.

That's just what we need... another person who uses bold colored text in his posts...
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

well at least i can read that dark green as opposed to dark blue :rolleyes:

is_tagged (should be "is-tagged") looks like it has been fixed. i haven't had the chance to use it yet, but i figure you can just give it a repeat count of 9999999 with the delay dependant on what is going to happen e.g.: fire beams if tagged and the ship is out of range for normal AI firing to take over.

1) It's been a long time since I've loaded up FRED :)

2) Sandwich reminded me of the has-been-tagged-delay which worked for what I wanted to do. Thanks Top Ace for mentioning this as well.
