OK, I'm still fairly new to FPSC scripting, and I'm not that sure how to do this. Sorry if it's really simple, we were all new to FPSC once, weren't we?

OK, here's what I need, what has to happen is that when you touch the trigger zone, an entity dies.

Let's say you walk in to a room with 5 people in it. You take a few steps towards the door at the other end, and suddenly the five people just drop to the floor and die. Beforehand they were "passive".

Well, thanks for your help.

Or is this sort of thing just not physically possible?

FPSC doesn't have any command that can decrease the health of an entity.

Yes, OK, but can it instead set them to their "death" animation? I know in Model Pack something (2 perhaps?) there's a zombie doctor, he's dead, until when you walk up to him he gets up off the floor and starts attacking you. Therefore, they must have set it to his death animation????

search the manual for the right animation. All the necessary commands are listed there. Take an AI script as example. Or ask if someone would make that script for you.

I think you can do it using activateifused=1 in the zone and the character name in the ifused section. They will all have to be named the same.

Then use :activated=1:state=whatever in the character scripts.

Then in :state=whatever add the animation number to make them fall back or whatever, :animate=whatever and frameatend to determine when the animation is where you want it, and suspend to leave the characters down on the floor.

Too much work if you don't need it yourself.

Best.

I'm sorry, my answers are limited. You must ask the right question.

Thanks, I'll check that out.

Although if anyone has got a script that could do that, I'd be really pleased and will certainly give credit

EDIT: Xplosys, I'd typed my thing out before I'd read yours, so if this sounds strange then it isn't.

OK, I'll give that a try, but if anyone can easily stick that somehow into Codey format, I'd be chuffed.

Would it be something like this in the enemy script? State 11 is Impact Front.



Hmmm, that seems... too simple...

Perhaps I'm right, perhaps I'm wrong.

Don't forget, I am new to this scripting.

Any advice?

OK, here's what I've done in the trigger "main" script:



And here's what I put in the "ai_die" main script. They're passive, until you touch the trigger zone.



Nothing seems to happen. Any ideas?

Lol, forget the "::ifused:ai_die" bit, that needs to be in the editor .

Everything else should work .

HELP!

It's works perfectly, when I don't have the :frameatend:suspend bit at the end.

Without that, they fall backwards, and fall backwards, and fall back again, as you'd expect.

But if you put that it, then when you enter the room then they're sunken half way through the floor, and they don't react to the trigger zone. only the top half of their bodies are showing, the rest has sunken under the floor.

Any ideas? I'll have another fiddle and edit this if I fix it.

The frameatend is to determine when the animation is complete, otherwise they will continue to animate... and the suspend is to keep the character visible on the floor.

Try :state=11,frameatend=0:suspend

for the last line.

Best.

OK, i've phrased that badly, sorry.

Basically they go into their death animation and fall backwards. But they don't stop, it just loops.

Here's what i've put in the code:

Please? Perhaps someone could try replicating the supposedly correct solution, see if it's not just me?

Ooh, hang on, part of the error may be that I'm using v103 (for very very long, boring, and complex reasons, look somewhere in the bug reports for "Compiler Problems With Lighting"). Perhaps there's no FRAMEATEND command in 103 or it works differently?

GRRR! If only you could hear the noises of frustration that i'm making!

This is more of a plead for help now. I've tried, I've tried, and I've tried again. As always, to no luck!

Please, please, please, could someone try this on their own FPSC and see the effect that I get? See if it's not just me?

I've been trying this for days now, to no luck. I've tried animationover=1:freeze, frameatend=1:freeze as well as both of those where "freeze" is replaced by "suspend", among about 8 others.

The effect I'm getting is either that they fall over and keep repeating the animation, or that they do nothing at all except be passive.

here is the code (or, one type of it that I've been trying anyway!):



Name your objects "ai_die", make a trigger zone, and in the main scipt area, insert this:



In the "If used" section of the trigger zone in the editor, put in "ai_die". I'm sure you know what to do a lot better than me.

So, good luck. And...

PLEASE HELP! THE FUTURE OF MY GAME DEPENDS ON THIS! SO DOES MY LIFE!

(well, not exactly, but if I still don't get any help then I'll have to say that!!)

Thanks VERY VERY much!

Oh yeah, and obviously I think the animation 11 (impact front) will only work with stock media.

I tried it. Does the same. My conclusions:

1) The frame... commands aren't valid
2) If they are, according to the manual frameatend should equal 11, the same as the animation, which didn't work
3) Tried framebeyond, but I am not sure if the anim11 = 0,19 is the correct sequence for the 11 animation; if it is, framebeyond=11 19 doesn't work

The only thing that sort of worked was this, but it appears to play only 1 or 2 frames



I changed the "death" fpi to leavecorpse.fpi

Try playing around with incframe maybe.

Good luck.

I made barrels that lasted for 30 seconds at the start of the game.

Which got me thinking..... Make a barrel that spawns from a trigger zone, with a spawn life of 1. Copy it and put it behind or infront of all the people to die. Then when it spawns it will instantly blow up, killing them all .

WOOOOO I just tried it, it works brilliantly.

Now if you could create a completely alpha texture, and a completely alpha explosion sprite, and turn off debris, and turn off the explosion sound......

E.D.
