Hey, guys. I'm having some problems with two scripts in particular that I've been working on for the past few days. One is supposed to show a small symbol, notifying the player that the object(s) in front of them can be investigated to show further background story or more insight on how to finish the level. And when the action button is pressed: a hud pops up informing the player of the protagonist's opinion/insight. Everything works up until I press the action button, and the player insight is shown twice. The script is listed below:

desc = insight/food

:plrdistwithin=40:hudshow=investigate,hudfadeout=investigate

:state=2,plrdistwithin=40,plrusingaction=1:sound=audiobank\dmfe\envo\paperclothmove.ogg,hudshow=investigate,hudfadeout=investigate,state=3
:state=3:plrfreeze=6500,etimerstart,state=4
:state=4,etimergreater=1500:hudshow=food,etimerstart,state=5
:state=5,etimergreater=5000:hudfadeout=food,etimerstart,state=6
:state=6,etimergreater=500:suspend

;End of Script

The other one that I've been having a problem with is this radio fadeout script. I found a previous post that showed in essence, how to make music fade when you walk away from an entity. I added conditions to make it so the player has to turn on the radio first. After that, it stopped working and now I can't get it to function properly again. The script in question is listed below as well:

;Artificial Intelligence Script

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=90,hudimagefine=gamecore\text\pressentertouse.tga,hudname=useswitchprompt,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=10

:state=10,plrdistwithin=50,plrusingaction=1:plrsound=$0,activateifused=1,alttexture=0,state=2
:state=2,plrdistwithin=50,plrusingaction=1:sound=$1,music=audiobank\dmfe\radio.ogg,state=3,plrsound=$0,activateifused=0,alttexture=0,state=4
:state=3,plrusingaction=0:state=10
:state=4,plrdistfurther=300:musicvolume=0
:state=4,plrdistwithin=299:music=audiobank\dmfe\radio.ogg,musicvolume=10,state=5

:state=5,plrdistwithin=99:musicvolume=50
:state=5,plrdistwithin=49:musicvolume=60
:state=5,plrdistwithin=10:musicvolume=70

;End of Script

Thanks to anyone that can help. I've been away from FPSC for too long. I haven't even been able to make my Reloaded pledge yet. Also, if you guys needed to see for yourselves what's happening, you can find a video here (quality's low):

Just guessing here, but to me it looks like your calling
on the same "hud" twice. Before and after "plrusingaction"
This is the line I'm talking about.

+ Code Snippet

:plrdistwithin=40:hudshow=investigate,hudfadeout=investigate

:state=2,plrdistwithin=40,plrusingaction=1:sound=audiobank\dmfe\envo\paperclothmove.ogg,hudshow=investigate,hudfadeout=investigate,state=3

Try a different approach..

+ Code Snippet

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=50,hudimagefine=languagebank\english\gamecore\text\food.png,hudname=food,hudhide=1,hudmake=display
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=90,hudimagefine=languagebank\english\gamecore\text\investigate.png,hudname=investigate,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=2


:state=2,plrdistwithin=40:hudshow=investigate,hudfadeout=investigate
:state=2,plrusingaction=1:sound=audiobank\dmfe\envo\paperclothmove.ogg,state=3
:state=3:plrfreeze=6500,etimerstart,state=4
:state=4,etimergreater=1500:hudshow=food,etimerstart,state=5
:state=5,etimergreater=5000:hudfadeout=food,etimerstart,state=6
:state=6,etimergreater=500:suspend

Tested and works fine when replaced with my hud's.

Thanks ncmako!

However, there was one tiny glitch. Everything worked fine, however, the investigate icon would disappear unexpectedly and never return even if I walked up to the entity again. I modified it to fix it. Here you go, everyone! Free investigate script!

+ Code Snippet

;Artificial Intelligence Script
;Header
desc = insight/food
;Triggers
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=50,hudimagefine=languagebank\english\gamecore\text\food.png,hudname=food,hudhide=1,hudmake=display
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=90,hudimagefine=languagebank\english\gamecore\text\investigate.png,hudname=investigate,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=3
:state=3,plrdistwithin=40:hudshow=investigate,hudfadeout=investigate

:state=3,plrdistwithin=40,plrusingaction=1:sound=audiobank\dmfe\envo\paperclothmove.ogg,state=4
:state=4:plrfreeze=6500,etimerstart,state=5
:state=5,etimergreater=1500:hudshow=food,etimerstart,state=6
:state=6,etimergreater=5000:hudfadeout=food,etimerstart,state=7
:state=7,etimergreater=500:suspend

;End of Script

However, I still haven't got the music fade script working. Can anybody help me with that?

ok, let us try to fix it:
This is your start script:

+ Code Snippet

;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Header

desc          = WatchNews

;Triggers

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=90,hudimagefine=gamecore\text\pressentertouse.tga,hudname=useswitchprompt,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=10
:plrdistwithin=50:hudshow=useswitchprompt,hudfadeout=useswitchprompt

:state=10,plrdistwithin=50,plrusingaction=1:plrsound=$0,activateifused=1,alttexture=0,state=2
:state=2,plrdistwithin=50,plrusingaction=1:sound=$1,music=audiobank\dmfe\radio.ogg,state=3,plrsound=$0,activateifused=0,alttexture=0,state=4
:state=3,plrusingaction=0:state=10
:state=4,plrdistfurther=300:musicvolume=0
:state=4,plrdistwithin=299:music=audiobank\dmfe\radio.ogg,musicvolume=10,state=5

:state=5,plrdistfurther=300:state=10
:state=5,plrdistwithin=299:musicvolume=20
:state=5,plrdistwithin=199:musicvolume=30
:state=5,plrdistwithin=149:musicvolume=40
:state=5,plrdistwithin=99:musicvolume=50
:state=5,plrdistwithin=49:musicvolume=60
:state=5,plrdistwithin=10:musicvolume=70

;End of Script

So, now we watch every line:

Quote: ":plrdistwithin=50:hudshow=useswitchprompt,hudfadeout=useswitchprompt
"

This line we should write to:
:state=10,plrdistwithin=50:hudshow=useswitchprompt,hudfadeout=useswitchprompt
Because you can not turn your radio off in your script

Next line:

Quote: ":state=10,plrdistwithin=50,plrusingaction=1:plrsound=$0,activateifused=1,alttexture=0,state=2"

I did not understand why you use plrsound=$0 and alttexture=0, did you give your plr a sound? And why using alttexture=0 when no alttexture=1 is in your script. What I also not understand is activateifused=1? did your radio activate someting?
=> :state=10,plrdistwithin=50,plrusingaction=1:state=2

The next line is crazy:

Quote: ":state=2,plrdistwithin=50,plrusingaction=1:sound=$1,music=audiobank\dmfe\radio.ogg,state=3,plrsound=$0,activateifused=0,alttexture=0,state=4
"

Ok I can understand sound=$1 if you did a switch on sound in your radio settings, but state=3 and state=4 in one line?
=> :state=2,plrdistwithin=50,plrusingaction=1:sound=$1,music=audiobank\dmfe\radio.ogg,state=4

The next I did in one step:

+ Code Snippet

:state=4,plrdistfurther=300:musicvolume=0
:state=4,plrdistwithin=299:music=audiobank\dmfe\radio.ogg,musicvolume=10,state=5

:state=5,plrdistfurther=300:state=10
:state=5,plrdistwithin=299:musicvolume=20
:state=5,plrdistwithin=199:musicvolume=30
:state=5,plrdistwithin=149:musicvolume=40
:state=5,plrdistwithin=99:musicvolume=50
:state=5,plrdistwithin=49:musicvolume=60
:state=5,plrdistwithin=10:musicvolume=70

All is good, but switch your radio off if you are too far away

My radio is not as inteligent

=>:state=5,plrdistfurther=300:state=4

As result I get this:

+ Code Snippet

;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Header

desc          = WatchNews

;Triggers

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=90,hudimagefine=gamecore\text\pressentertouse.tga,hudname=useswitchprompt,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=10

:state=10,plrdistwithin=50:hudshow=useswitchprompt,hudfadeout=useswitchprompt
:state=10,plrdistwithin=50,plrusingaction=1:state=2
:state=2,plrdistwithin=50,plrusingaction=1:sound=$1,music=audiobank\dmfe\radio.ogg,state=4
:state=4,plrdistfurther=300:musicvolume=0
:state=4,plrdistwithin=299:music=audiobank\dmfe\radio.ogg,musicvolume=10,state=5

:state=5,plrdistfurther=300:state=4
:state=5,plrdistwithin=299:musicvolume=20
:state=5,plrdistwithin=199:musicvolume=30
:state=5,plrdistwithin=149:musicvolume=40
:state=5,plrdistwithin=99:musicvolume=50
:state=5,plrdistwithin=49:musicvolume=60
:state=5,plrdistwithin=10:musicvolume=70

;End of Script

I hope this script works. I hope I also could show your faults! Maybe I did a mistake, but you can correct me, if I did something wrong.

Make this forum to something a little bit better and release more stuff. So we can push the Request/NoobHelp threads aside.
