Ok so i've been trying to regenerate health and i found alot of things by searching. the problem is i'm trying to use it in a multiplayer game, i wanted to have an invisble health bar so it would be more like the COD health, i cant even get a damage hud to appear in MP, wen i get shot theres no red on teh screen , i've tried many methods, and making
1)health regenerate
2)Damage hud show
3)dissapearing health bar
seems impossible to me, please if u can help me in anyway please do.
here are some scripts i found on the site
I have no idea how to use any of these scripts in MP

+ Code Snippet

;Header
 
desc = COD Health

;Triggers 

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=50,hudimagefine=gamecore/huds/user/eyehud.dds,hudname=blood,hudhide=1,hudmake=display
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=50,hudimagefine=gamecore/huds/user/doorsopen.dds,hudname=htext,hudhide=1,hudmake=display
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=50,hudimagefine=gamecore/huds/user/doorsopen.dds,hudname=htext2,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=1

:state=1,plrhealthless=25:plrsound=audiobank/misc/ping.wav,hudshow=blood,hudshow=htext,hudshow=htext2,state=2

:state=2,plrhealthgreater=24:hudunshow=htext,hudfadeout=htext2,hudunshow=blood,state=1

;End of Script

I believe that was the Damage hud.

+ Code Snippet

;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Header

desc          = SPS999's player health regeneration EDITED BY SNIPESOUL, SNIPED UP STUDIOS


;Triggers

:state=0,plrhealthless=500:timerstart,state=1
:state=1,timergreater=10000:plraddhealth=1
:state=1,plrhealthgreater=499:state=0

;End of Script

scriptings weird in multiplayer, trigger zones dont work so your best bet would be to attach it to a door script (somehow)

...this might be of some assistance to you, thm120, and get you headed in the right direction:

;Artificial Intelligence Script:::::::::::::::::::

;compilation by TGC, Crusader2, Seth Black

desc          = Multiplayer Slow Heal Pickup

;Since weapon pickups are dynamically active during multiplayer games, why not just tap into that, tweak the scripting, 
;and create a pickup that will dynamically replenish the player's health?

;The pickup will never be picked up by the player, but while it's waiting for the player to get close enough, it should in 
;theory continuously add health to a damaged player, during the entire level.

;NOTE: This has not been officially tested or comfirmed, as of 16MAR09

;1.  Place a WEAPON PICKUP in any area of the level not accessible to the player.

;2.  Assign this script as the WEAPON PICKUP's MAIN SCRIPT

;When the player spawns, he/she should theoretically now have constant slow health regeneration.

;Triggers

;If Player Is Ever Within 40 Units Of Weapon Pickup, Player Takes Weapon
:plrdistwithin=40:state=1,playertake,coloff,rundecal=-1

;If Player's Health Less Than 500, Start Timer
:state=0,plrhealthless=500:state=10,timerstart

;After 2 Seconds Add 5 Health Points To Player
:state=10,timergreater=2000:plraddhealth=5,state=2
:state=2:state=3
:state=3:state=0

;End of Script::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

It's theoretical, and still needs to be confirmed, but I have every reason to believe that health regeneration is possible in MP.

Also it cant be added to a weapon, the main script is only accessible in single player under the AI script section. so now it has to be an object that has the AI scipt section even in multiplayer

...FPSC always has been primarily a Single Player emphasised game engine.

Multiplayer, as it is right now, seems like something that was added almost as a placeholder, for possible code modification later.

It's been left bare-bones, due mostly to FPSC's notoriously poor framerate issues of the past. Perhaps some improvements might come with the migration. We'll just have to wait and see.

In the meantime, I'd keep exploring theoretical ways of acheiving the effects you're after. As stated above, adapting a door script might hold the key.

Feel free to use and adapt the script I've posted, as you see fit. Perhaps, you'll discover a workaround...

NOTE: Perhaps weapon pickups are hardcoded to use WEAPON.fpi, during Multiplayer gameplay, and that's why you can't make script changes in the properties editor. If so, here's a possible workaround:

1. Create your Multiplayer level, being certain to place 1 of the weapon pickups out of any player's range.

2. Build your Multiplayer game as normal, and compile.

3. Browse through YOUR GAME TITLE's folder tree, and locate the scriptbank folder.

4. Locate and delete the WEAPON.fpi file.

5. Paste MULTI PLAYER SLOW HEAL PICKUP.fpi file into scriptbank folder.

6. Rename MULTI PLAYER SLOW HEAL PICKUP.fpi to WEAPON.fpi

Theoretically, when you play the game, the modified script should now be called by the game engine.

...but all the weapons will have that script too. That script would be used by every single pickupable gun. I suppose you could make "classes" and have no gun pickups and that would work(theoretically)

darn i got exceited too. i tried applying the script with single player then switching it to multiplayer in the preferences but didnt work eighter. ok for now i'l cross out Regeneration, how about the damage screen? i wanted there to be like a damage screen after a person gets shot but i cant make it appear in multiplayer games.

i got this script and have no idea how to use it, do i apply the script manually into the setup files after the game is built or is there a way to do it while still workin on the game?

...since regeneration would only occur if the player was below 500 HP, and the weapon pickup would add the weapon to the player's inventory like usual, I don't see how this would be a problem.

Adding back the original HUD and sound calls wouldn't be difficult to do, if retaining the original weapon pickup effect is desired.

Weapon pickups don't have to respawn. Even after everyone's been equipped with weapons, the regeneration (via that lone unreachable weapon pickup) should theoretically continue...

Quote: "...switching it to multiplayer in the preferences... "

...nope. Per your initial report, this won't work in MP.

Reread my previous post carefully, and you'll discover that the workaround I suggested involves creating YOUR GAME TITLE and manually replacing the WEAPON.fpi file with the one that I've supplied above...

@Seth Black:

I didn't look at the script very well I suppose. That should have technically worked. I'm stumped.

...whoa. You have me totally confused. If you can't really test if you regenerate, how is it that you know that the health increases faster, as you get closer to the weapon?

The script that I shared above uses a timer, and checks to see if the player's health is below 500, so there shouldn't be an increase in regeneration.

It's set at a consistant 2 second timed delay, but that could be easily changed to any value that you want, as could the default 5 HP regeneration rate.

I would be more than happy to DL and join you in a Multiplayer game, and we could test this out. Create a test game. Post it here, and let's arrange a mutual time to play, if you're interested.
