So, what I want to do with scripting is to show a warning-text that shows there are new objectives, and press "O" to see the hudimage. I want the warning-text to disappear when press "O". I have tried hudtext and fpgcrawtext but nothing seems to work?
I also want to update the objectives by going to a new triggerzone.. The player shourld be able to press "O" and see the Objectives anywhere/anytime...
Here is the script:

desc = Display Objectives while O key pressed
;Triggers
:state=0,plrwithinzone=1:plrsound=audiobank\misc\ping.ogg,fpgcrawtext=NEW OBJECTIVES,state=1
:state=1:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=50,hudimagefine=languagebank\english\gamecore\huds\objectives2.png,hudname=objectives2,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=2
:state=2,scancodekeypressed=24:fpgcrawtextoff,state=3
:state=2:hudunshow=objectives2
:state=3:hudshow=objectives2,state=2

;End of Script

Try this, tested and works well. Add your "ping" sound to the triggerzone's sound$0.

You can also add these commands to the script (fpgcrawtextfont=CHOOSE STYLE FONT fpgcrawtextg= fpgcrawtextr= fpgcrawtextb= Amount of Green Red or Blue)
Quote: "I also want to update the objectives by going to a new triggerzone.. "

This script is the easiest way to do this. Each new triggerzone will reset the "hud"
A better way is to list all your "Objective" huds in one script and use variables to update which hud
displays as player moves along.
See how this works for you and let me know..

Had some time to play a little with this script. Here's one that will update "Objective's Hud" as player moves
through level.
Place this in a triggerzone anywhere in level. It is the Main Hud script for Objectives.
Replace my image names for yours, as many as needed. I used 3 for testing. Update script as you go along

Use this script with a trigger or entity and place/attach where needed. All it does is display Text and add 1 to variable to change
"Objectives" Hud.

I tested several times and works perfect. If you attach to an entity instead of using a triggerzone
you will have to change "plrwithinzone" to "plrdiswithin" of course.

AWESOME!! Great work man! I really like when that ping pings, then You know that You have new exciting missions to play... Just one little issue (small one) The NEW OBJECTIVES popup only stay when standing inside the triggerzone. Is it possible to make it stay also outside the triggerzone???
Anyways. Fantastic job as usual....

Of course, very easy...but do you really want that? Right now when the player enters zone, the "update_objective" script
pops-up text, even when you leave & re-enter it, until player hits the "O" key.
But, here is an updated script so the fpsgcrawtext STAYS on screen until player hits the "O" key, but.....
it will not reactivate once used Just so you know.

Thanks, thats exactly what I wanted. Just changed the hudtext a bit and moved it to the left-upper corner. Looks good...
