@TechNo VaLLey

I had to make it somewhat difficult. Part of the difficulty lies in the fact that there is a very large area to cover and these small piles can be anywhere. Also, in a lot of my games, an entity that is needed to be picked up may not appear until after a previous task has been completed. Therefore, TP#1 will not appear until the TC is found and returned. TP#2 will not appear until TP#1 is found and returned, and so on. This does not make sense in the real world but we are not in the real world. We are not only in a fantasy land but we are also playing a game. Reality and realism is not always necessary as far as I'm concerned when playing a game. That's just my humble opinion.

Here is the first couple of images of the cave.



We are inside the Toadstool home where the cave entrance is. We are met by a gnome; not just any gnome but the head gnome. He and his followers protect what's in the cave and watch out for authorized visitors to the cave. There are three items on the table. This is a logic "test". What would be the best thing to take into a cave? The player is given a choice.




OK, I chose the flashlight and our gnome friend (he does have a name but I'll wait you hear it for yourself in either a sound bite or a video snippet) has just given it to me. He then proceeds to tell me that I must jump through the hole in the floor on the other side of the table to enter the cave. He will join me their.





Here we are in the cave. He now asks the player to follow him.





You now see our gnome friend walking towards a hole within the cave. The player is to follow him.

Addendum:

Here are two more:



The next one shows a pitch black room in the cave. The player's going to need a flashlight to see inside that room. If the player didn't bring a flashlight with him then he will need to find one. When he has a flashlight then he can use it. The next post will show the flashlight. I'm only using S4 Real's flashlight with basic script. The newer scripts could possibly be more frustrating for a five year old.

By the way just wondering which flashlight script did you use (was it v3.1?) hmmm

No, just S4's script. I wanted to keep it simple in this game and especially this level. But, I certainly plan on using v3.x along with the huds, in a game I already started but haven't really worked on. I might even use it in a future level to add some difficulty. Hopefully by the time the young player gets to that he might be more versed with time pressure.

@xplosys, I am using your flashlight hud. I think that works very well and we don't have to worry about a flashlight being converted into a weapon.

I will be posting up an image of a "flashlight" scene. Pressing F12 while in-game does not save the huds. So, I have to use a screen capture.

Finally got back to this thread. I've had some difficulties because of some of the things I wanted to do which required more scripting. A lot of trial and error was involved -- a lot of test runs. I finally decided to increase the RAM in my computer from 1 GB to 4 GB. Wow! It's like a new computer. Anyway, that made testing a lot faster.

First, here's the flashlight images:

Some more cave images. Would anybody like the full level once it's done? My Grandson should be playing it Thursday night.





This is Belven. He will show up in other levels as well. He can be mischievous. However, in this level if you didn't choose the flashlight, then he will be willing to either trade the book for a flashlight or will be willing to sell it for the gold coins -- depending on which you took with you. He's very excitable and in the cave, he spends most of his time jumping up and down.
