desc	= when player reaches zone display hud and play sound once, fade in 5 secs

;Triggers

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=60,hudy=60,hudimagefine=languagebank\english\gamecore\text\user\newobjective.jpg,hudname=objective1,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=1
:state=0,plrwithinzone=1:hudshow=objective1,sound=audiobank\new-objective.ogg,timerstart,state=1
:state=0,plrwithinzone=0:state=3
:state=1,timergreater=5000:hudunshow=0bjective1,state=2
:state=2:suspend
:state=3:state=0

it dosent do anything i hear no sound and the hud doesnt show up. i've looked it over and over again it looks perfect but it apparently isn't.

because if when the hud is created it goes to state=1 not the other state=0 statements.

here is the correct script

note:i prefer using hudfadeout rather than hudunshow(better effect)

No mean to over-shadow, Dar13, but wouldn't this be more accurate to his desires?

I fail to see a need for a "state" condition in the second and third lines, so leaving them out will allow their functionality to carry on throughout the script and possibly allow it to function better.

Aside from a little logic foncusion in your script, you have a very nice scripting style.

Whosoever says, "Don't sweat the small stuff," is obviously not a programmer.
