If I use the back pack script can I link a diving mask with a hud?

Of course, I don't see why not? I remember you where using
a "diving mask" hud only, but do you have a model/entity of a mask?

Also, which "back pack" script/system are you using, Tax78's ?
I think I have that one.

No I haven't made it yet but I just wanted to make sure it's possible first.
And yes tax78's back pack.

I figured it would make sense to pick it up and then select it for use in the back pack. Then I could apply the underwater death script for those without a mask.

I just had a look at the "back pack" scripts. It would work, but might be easier in your case just to script it, or maybe use it as a "weapon"? I have some free time. Can you model the goggles?

I will upload it by tomorrow night.I didn't have any idea we could use it as or like a weapon.I thought that was for weapons only. Would it show up with a number key? Now I could probably play around with the underwater death script to work if the user didn't find the mask. but anyways I will work on the mask tonight sometime and have it by tomorrow night.
Thanks

It's really depends on you. You can do a simple script where after you pick up the "goggles" one can simple press a key (like the "G" key for goggles)and the goggle hud would appear (this would be a simple and quick solution).
Or you could attach it to a pair of hands like a weapon and place it in a "weaponslot". You would have to animate the hands to come up to the face with the goggles and then your hud would appear.
(much more time consuming). I would pick the first choice.
Also: If you went with just the script/goggle hud, then you could add a pair of hands for underwater swimming. Tax78 has made just this...http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=199271&b=23

Ok I'll script it but I might still need your help with that.
I have uploaded the divers mask
I made the entity with the "model maker" I got from this sight but when I change the static to no the texture does not show. Do you know why that happen?

It seems to work fine for me? (attached a pic)
Also, the mask was a little high in poly's (+2500) So I brought it down some (about 800). Grab this program, it's free and does a great job in reducing a mesh & preserving the uv's.http://www.atangeo.com/download
I just use "Entity Workshop" for simple entities. I did however flip it over in the .fpi "fixnewy=180".

The texture still only shows when static is on yes...otherwise it goes grey. I used the app and it seems easy enough. I have uv mapper I would like to see it separate all the groups so I can work on them in detail. Is that possible? I also have lithunwrap that seems a bit confusing though.

I don't know why yours is not showing? Like I said, I use
Entity Workshop.

I use Milkshape, you can separate the groups in that and work on them individually.
There is one more program that can help you. I noticed your UV's were all over the place. A nice program to cut clean lines is "3D Unfold" (but a little pricey) But there's a free alternative.
"RoadKill UV Tool" from Pullin Shapes. They had a free stand alone version for windows and is exactly like 3D Unfold.

You can cut your own UV's, or let it do it for you.
Also, do you have an email, might go quicker with this?
