my basic idea is you perss buttons to activate powers (z=all enimies within range get sucked to top of room, x=enimies get blasted back, c=player can pass thourgh walls) but i am not sure what actions to use for this, can anyone help?

...yes, you could use .fpi scripting to achieve these effects.

Of the three, player phasing through walls would be the sloppiest to pull off. Assigning a special script to walls would just plain suck, though.

You could have three entities each activated by a different key, then when they are activated they will in turn activate the entities corresponding to your "power".......

This will be quite complex to pull off, but quite possible nonetheless....

tigerman 22,
Hi welcome to the forums. I'm sorry but it is not posable to push people through the walls. But the other two are posable. Now that's going to take some mass scripting, a few nights,and about three cases of Mountan Dew.

BOOM!!!!!! HEAD SHOT!!!

do you mean that in a positive or negitive manner?

if wall phazing is imposssibe... then maby activating the "suspend" command can be done to all entities at the same time?

if not I WILL adapt.

I can help you here.

A long time ago, I posted a sample game here, but nobody looked at it, so I put the special scripts in storage.

Here are some:

Antigravity(requires the Benge's Sprite pack for the sound):

;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Header

desc = Telekinesis Antigravity?

;Triggers

:state=0,scancodekeypressed=25,plrwithindist=60:nogravity,moveback=45,moveup=10,state=1
:state=1:plrsound=audiobank\benge sprites\sparks.wav,state=0

;End of Script

(Press the key when close to an object, and viola, ANTIGRAVITY)

Passthrough:

;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Header

desc = Telekinesis Pass?

;Triggers

:state=0,scancodekeypressed=24,plrwithindist=60:coloff,state=1
:state=1:plrsound=audiobank\items\healthup.wav,state=0

;End of Script

(Press the key when near to an object to walk through it.)

;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Header

desc = Telekinesis Light (put light into ifused field, lights main script should be lightoff)?

;Triggers

:state=0,scancodekeypressed=23,plrinzone=1:activateifused=1,state=1
:state=1,plrsound=audiobank\voices\player\spawn.wav
;End of Script

(Not too sure about this one, but it works. Press button to get light, you need to add lights beforehand though.)

P.S If you intend to use these scripts in a game of any kind, I would appreciate it if you include me in your credits. Not COMPULSORY but i'd like it. Put me as [WPH] Waffle Pancake Hybrid.

Yes, but it will be much easier, quicker, and more efficient if all done separately, rather than one huge and possibly buggy script....

I am starting to see more and more of these request threads for scripts.If they can't be kept to a minimum then script requests will no longer be allowed.
We went from the odd or occassional script request to requesting scripts we need instead of learning how to do it ourselves...

Please have mercy and use the search function.

It's not so bad if you do that once in a while. But so far, every thread you've made has been a script request. Maybe if you made a script and gave back to the community a little, we would be more willing to give up our own work for you.

Nope, there isn't a default way to alter tons of entities at one time.

This is the reason Allies are so hard to make, because the only thing a script can seemingly target is the player. It CAN target other entities, but it's hard to do it purposefully, lol.

Funny you should mention that...

TECHNICALLY there is such a command in the source code, however when I looked into it, this is what I found:



That's basically a message from Lee saying "I didn't get around to making it."

What this also says is that the command will set only a SINGLE entity within the zone as it's target and not all of them... so even if it was coded, it wouldn't be what you're looking for.

"rem" is code for "Remark"... it's just a line that will be completely ignored by the compiler. And since the ONLY code for this scripting command is two Remarks, then the compiler doesn't do ANYTHING when someone tries to use the command.


About your other request, sorry, can't find anything for if the entity is in the player's crosshair... only command close to that is "plringunsight" but that's the opposite of what you're looking for.

I found this command in the digital manual that came with FPSC:

Quote: "MOVEUP=X
moves the entity up by X units"


Looking up commands in the manual really does help.

I'm sure if you played around with that command, you'll be able to come up with something.

MOVEUP will instantly move the entity upwards by X units. A segment is 100 units high, so that should give you a clue as to what kinda scale it's used with.

Also, remember that if you don't COSNTANTLY move the entity upwards, gravity will just bring them back down.

Allow me to elaborate even more:

A segment (1x1 room) is 100x100x100 units. Meaning that a 1 by 1 room is exactly 100 units high, 100 units wide, and 100 units long.

The player (I believe, in reference to the camera), is roughly 45 units high.

The "MOVEUP" command doesn't teleport. It still runs through collision detection. In order to teleport, you will need to use the "PLRMOVETO" command, and give it an entity name. However, be warned that people have had problems with this command. I have even gone as far as writing a Bug Report for it. If you want to use it, I suggest reading the Bug Report that I made for it.


Good Luck!

Well, that's how it should work. If they end up going through the cieling, then that'd be classified as a bug and shoud be reported.

So, my thoughts would be to give it a shot and find out what happens.

"anywithin" will check other entities distances to the entity on which this script is attached, and not to the player, which is the problem.

Good idea, though.

Well, it won't necessarily slow the game down tremendously! If you code the script efficiently enough, it should be rather effective.


Good idea, CG.
