Sorry if this sounds like a request...

now i think (i've only done small scripts so sorry if im wrong) scancodekeypressed= is the command that checks if (or waits for) you to press a key, i was wondering if:

you could have a number of keys (a coded message) pressed together with a time limit between each key (5sec) so you dont accidently discover the secret code

im terrible at scripting from scratch, but heres my attempt minus a few things



have yet to try, and is unfinished, will it work as it is?

What keys do you want the player to press?

...this script won't get to state 3, or state 10, and will only check to see if the player is in the zone once.

Perhaps the best way to go about this is not with a zone or any kind of proximity, but with a key press to initiate the script. In other words...

:state=0,scancodekeypressed=41:state=1

41 denotes the tilde key, though you can use any key you please. When the player presses the tilde key, the script progresses to state 1 and waits for a cheat code to be entered. This way, the player can enter a code any time, and not only when in a zone. Such a script must be assigned to a dynamic entity. A light entity is a good one.

Also, I suggest reading a few tutorials on scripting so you know the syntax. What you wrote does not follow the fpi scripting conventions and will not work. As with any scripting language, there is no room for error, and your code must be perfect.

Best.

No zone will be necessary. You press the tilde key to activate cheat code access, then type the cheat code in. The cheat can instantly be active when you type in the code.

Best.

And please, for the love of god, put the second colon in there! Nothing will function without it.

To help you out, I will show you your script. In these lines I will highlight conditions in bold and actions in underlined italics.

:state=0,plrwithinzone=1,state=1
:state=1,scancodekeypressed=36,state=2
:state=3,scancodekeypressed=19,state=10
:state=10,plraddhealth=50,plrsound=audiobank\items\healthup.wav,state=1


This is need to know information. Conditions ask a question (Is the State equal to 10?) whereas Actions DO something (Set the State equal to 10)

Now.... in BETWEEN the conditions and actions... you put a colon. This is uber important.


Get it right and you'll be better off.



As for debugging... You have one of your lines set the state to "2" but there is no line in your script that checks for a state of 2, so once it gets there, it will stop working.

I like to think of it as the first colon being "if" and the second being "then". If you've programmed in a different language this helps quite a bit as I found out.

Does the player have to type 'healmequick'? If so where the player has to type 'quick', you only have 4 states; 7, 8, 9, 10, for player input, should there be 5?
