Hey everybody
I'm making a game with zombies in it and one of the levels has a long dark hallway in it with a few zombies which is intended to scare the **** out of the player.
Well, I thought it would have a greater dramatic effect if the player had a flashlight with a battery that ran out before the player got to the end. So, being the good forum-goer that I am, I did a search and found the official community guide which indeed has a flashlight script in it:
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=131868&b=21
Only one problem: the guide doesn't tell you how to implement it!
I'm not sure how to go about actually putting it into my game. The player start doesn't have a slot for a script, and there's no initGame method to put it in.
SO, I was wondering if anyoen knew where I could put the flashlight code to make it work.
For ease-of-use, here is the actual flashlight code:
(I have changed the key to press for the flashlight to CTRL because F is my game's Action key)
