I have started my first major project in FPSC. I am creating a puzzle game that uses moveable boxes, stationary metal boxes, segments, keys, and levers to solve different puzzles.

there is going to be 6 different stages each with 5 levels in (30 levels total). Each stage will introduce new keys, doors, killzones, segments and maybe other elements to make the game more challenging.

This is my first screenshot showing all models and textures i have made so far. The doors and lever are just retextures. And the training segment will only be used for one level; yes you've guessed the first one, so there will really be 31 levels.

New screenshots coming soon.

heres a picture of 100 dynamic boxes in a room and me still getting 31+ fps in test mode. And my computer isn't all that powerful.

each object on there has 12 polys. so overall it equals 1200 polys! alomst half of one colonel X! (2100 polys approx)

This sounds like a great idea! Personally I would make the levels more visual appaeling and atractive, but that's up to you of course

@Ben: i wanted more of a simple look, rather than realistic or detailed.

@Keitk: I know you do. ( i tried the new ozark games maze level and got stuck).

Any way heres a closeup of the key model i made (204 tris).

@ ominista: i use gamespace, just like kieth, I can do higher poly modeling but i wanted to keep it to a bare minimum; because for puzzle games you need almost everything to be dynamic.

@ kieth C: at the phone bit in the space station.

But in FPSC ive now encountered a problem, i have searched so please don't flame. Ok, when i spawn an entity from a trigger zone; the object is spawned with the colision off; which is a really big problem as you cannot stand on it, any help or even calling me a noob and showing me the right page is helpful.

make the main script

:state=0:colon"


Like the idea man.

Coupla things : the roof texture is reversed in the first screen.

looks nice though, but I think you should work on...not neccessarily a better graphics style, but just a more UNIQUE one!

Nice work bro

@ butters: add it to the end or make it the only bit? also i'll just use a different tile for the roof then, as that training segment is only used in the very first level.

@ everybody: I make games for fun and i like the look, so I am NOT changing it.

Nope, you weren't stuck; I just neglected to put in a win-zone on this one. Thanks for playing though.

Looks like it will be fun. The game just looks a little blah, maybe work on the visuals. Good luck!

It would be nice if you used boxes when placed together to make a complete image for some puzzles tyrano.Maybe even use some different weights to complete puzzle,I can see endless routines for different ways of completing the puzzles,you have struck a lttle bit of gold with this one mate.

yer rolfy that was the plan, the bigger the box the heiver it is, the last too boxes are so heavy that you can't even lift them. There are also metal versions of all boxes which are static.

but i still got this problem:

I really need to get past this, so any help is apreciated.

ok ive done some testing and it is just the main script.

The main script is this:

But it still doesn't work even without a trigger.

Default.fpi works for this object if it is not triggered. So i took butters adivice and made a new script to have the colison on even when it is triggered. I've just done the script wrong. Was i just supposed to add that line to an existing script. Because if so then help would be appreciated.
