FPS Creator X10 / [LOCKED] My Questions (the only thread I'll ever make)

1st Question:

How can I make custom bars on screen? For example, how would I have the bar that represents health be entirely blue, and then fade to red when the character runs out of health?

2nd Question:

How can I make my characters run? Is there a script for it, or what?
In addition to speed, I want it to look like the entity is actually running.

2 - I guess it has to do with animation. So you have to do an animation wich runs.

Signature erased for being too cool.

1- Yes that is done in the build game area

2- Yes that is entirely possible and also quite easy with scripting

O.K Jason Brook, thanks. Do you know any scripts for running? Also, could you tell me where, and how to load in custom health bars?

I think you have to do both, have a script dedicated to running. And have an animation sequence that looks like real running motion and not just fast walking.

I dont know of any scripts and dont have the time at the moment to write you one myself maybe you should try emailing some people about it maybe they can help.

As for the custom health bars you just goto FIlE>>BUILD GAME

then you goto the "level settings" tab

click edit next to global script box

Change the bars you want to the images you have made quite easy you will get the idea.

I also have another question: Have you noticed how in some games, you will look out and you will see a backdrop? With mountains and trees, or just houses and churches? How can I put that into my game?

Do it with the skybox. Then just put barriers around your level so that the player can't actually try to walk to those mountains or distant buildings.

The sky box can be changed by going to build game settings and editing the global script its all in there you will get the idea.

Another problem. I try to test the game, I even tried to build my game, but what happens is nothing happens except for the screen showing up. Then it waits for about 30 seconds, and then it says "the application has encountered an error and needs to close. Extra Debug Info 0,0" Help!

Somewhere along the way I picked up some freebie skyboxes. My next one will have to be custom made. I picked up a copy of Bryce 5.5 for free, so I'm hoping to generate the terrain I want with that, and then make a skybox. Hopefully!

If you're doing a fantasy game, yes.

Another question:
How can I make it so that a certain sound, or piece of music is played when a player is seen by an enemy?

If you "guestimate" properly you can use a sound zone, otherwise, you will need to wait for the source code to come out (if it does) and programmatically do it.

I think with scripting it should be possible...

Jingle, as yes, I always forget about scripting.

Look at the "scriptbank\people" scripts, especially ones like "cautious.fpi" which you can open in notepad

If one wants to create one from scratch, I think these commands might help...

ISDARKAISEEING ISDARKAISEEING is true if a character using DarkAI can see the player
SOUND=X plays a sound specified by the X filename. Use $0 to specify soundest

I haven't written scripts before, but I imagine you'd just link these two so that if ISDARKAISEEING is true, SOUND=X. I think it'd be a pretty easy and short script to write..

That's exactly what you do, but you need a trigger animation too otherwise he'll just stand there firing instead of roaring (like the Magnason)

O.K, I think I'll use a sound zone.
For the sound zone, do you have to extend the box?
Or once the main character steps in the sound zone, will the song just play all the way to the end?

I believe you need to extend the box. Hence the name zone rather than switch.

Hmmm. No offensive. But you could read the manual. All this stuff is in the community guide as well

For heaven's sake stop being lazy and look at page 47 in the manual.

Listen. I'm going to give you some friendly advice, so don't take it the wrong way. But your laziness coupled with the childish (honestly, butt fudge?) way you appear to get when you don't or do get exactly what you want drives forum members to ignore you. If you can't make the effort to to read some of the standard reading material, how can you expect people to make the same effort for you? If you look around and can't find something, fine that's one thing. But not bothering to read it at all and getting upset when people point you in the right direction, is quite another. Politeness goes a long way too. Uthink gave you a perfectly reasonable answer, page 47 explains zone markers.

The reason I'm telling you this is because the more of these type of questions that you ask combined with your reactions, there's a very real chance that people will start simply ignoring you (it's happening already--twice you've had to remind everyone that you still need help). I do hope you listen because I think everyone wants a constructive and productive forum, not one where certain people are ignored and stuff like that. It's unnecessary tension...

A picture says a thousand words.
