There was a thread about this somewhere...

I'm really not sure. By default, you start standing up, so I don't think that this is possible. Maybe through some kind of clever scripting, but to my knowledge, it's not possible.

Yeah, calling an animation for a character to crouch is one thing, but crouching for the player is a different ballgame.

That can only be done by the Human pressing a key on the keyboard.

There is no scripting command for it is there, or am I mistaken?

No, you're right, CE, there's no command to force a keyboard action.

No need for it I guess though really.
You can just start them in a locked utility closet or something with the duct being their only way out.
They can crouch for themselves to get in the duct, or enter the hallway and die.

I have seen this asked many times before though.
They must be leaving one level in the duct and thats why they need to start there?

Conjured Element, you have you have an insane mind. I respect that.

Maybe a modder could incorporate a command to do that in the next version of their mod.

Not that I'm insinuating anything.

Some people say that I'm crazy... And I agree.

Well, I'm not the one wanting to start out by crawling around in an air duct though am I?

Insane?
How could you say such a thing after looking at my cash system scripts?
Insanity is simply a label used by those with limitations on their understanding.

Lol, sorry, but you'll just have to think of workarounds for now. Putting something like that in isn't exactly high on my to-do list.

My answer is the same as CE. Put em in a closet where they have to find the duct and crawl out.

...it makes no rational sense for a player to just begin in an air duct, anyway.

All belief comes crashing down, if an element such as player start position makes no sense...

Actually you could 'come to' in an air duct with a gun near you and a monster just about to eat you. That would be an action packed start!

I like the thugs in the hallway waiting to jack you up idea.
How many deaths would it take the player to even figure out that the door is not the way out?
lol

Then you need the duct high so they have to move boxes or something to reach it.
More encouragment to use the obvious, the door.

PS @ Nickydude
Please edit the scancodekeypressed explination in your guide.
It says the TAB key is #5 but it is #15. (I noticed it the other day and forgot to mention it)
Your image was fuzzy and made the 15 look like a 5, so honest mistake, but it still needs to be corrected.
That is if you haven't fixed it already. (I may have an older copy)

Another thing to add to the guide would be the action to adjust the headshot height.
I know Lee added this shortly after giving us the headshot=x action, but I can't find info on the action or the thread.

Never noticed, thanks - Fixed.

I don't use FPSC that much now so I don't know what that would be.

This is what was added:
Quote: "V1.0.8 BETA6 - 08/03/08
-----------------------

* Added Q&A about disappearing geometry when using deadend segments
* Adjusted HEADSHOT FPI action so 1 means default height of 42, other value specifies own height for head detection
* Added new HEADSHOTDAMAGE FPI action to specify own head shot damage value
"


and so my understanding has been....
HEADSHOT=X where 0 is immune, 1 is default, and any other value equals custom headshot height

We found that the default was a little low, about from the upper chest up on some characters, so we used about 50.

Best.

Oh Yeah! As for the question at hand, how can you make a serious game if you can't start the player in a crouched position inside a vent? This sucks! I'll have to find another engine.

Thanks guys.
I thought is was the same action at one point but decided that my memory was playing tricks on me.
It's all coming back to me now, I think it was like 51 or 52 that worked for me.
I can't believe I forgot that as much as I wanted headshots.
I'll make a note of this. Thanks again

Because very few "serious" games actually do that. But, I'm guessing that your remark was a tad on the sarcastic side.

I thought there was a code to force a key to be pressed

anyway why don't u just make him start in a closed room forcing him to go to the vent, won't that do the trick?!
