I created a malaria script, that is like a doom sentance

which the player must hit g to battle against the virus or die, but it dont work here is the code

+ Code Snippet

;Malaria
;Header

desc          = Activates Virus on timer player must battle virus or die

;Triggers

:state=0,TIMERSTART,TIMERGREATER=9000:state=1

:state=1,fog=1,fogred=255,foggreen=0,fogblue=0:state=2

:state=2,hudshow=malariaattack,hudfadeout=malariaattack

:state=3,scancodekeypressed=34,state=0,sound=audiobank\cough.wav
:state=3,frameatend=96,state=4

:state=4,framebeyond=97 29:sound=audiobank\vomit.wav,plraddhealth=-500

the end bit has no state as its game over, or is that why it plays up. if theres nothing wrong with it ill have to reinstall fpsc again.

...your install is fine. As is, this script is the culprit.

Plystire posted a very useful scripting tutorial, that will
shed some light as to what you will need to correct in your
script, to get it to function as desired.

There are also other numerous resources, that you can readily
locate with some dedicated use of the search function...

...that's very doubtful.

I know that you haven't seen Plystire's tutorial.

If you'd followed all of them, you'd easily be spotting some of the glaring omissions and mistakes that pop out immediately, from your script...

Good luck to you, in your future endeavors...

No remember to separate conditions from actions.

I looked at bond 1's chainsaw brute scri[t and used that as the bases the fog did show though (or was that me blinking XD)

Try writing your script in an english format.

For each line of code, replace the first colon ( : ) with "If" and replace the second colon with "Then". Now replace the commas with "And".

Read the script back to yourself and see if it makes sense.

I just did this and here's what you get from your script:

+ Code Snippet

;CREATE BATTLE HUD
If state=0 Then hudreset And hudx=50 And hudy=10 And hudimagefine=gamecorehudsmalaria.bmp And hudname=Malariaattack And hudhide=1 And hudmake=display And state=1

;START TIMER
If state=1 And TIMERSTART And TIMERGREATER=900 And state=2

;QUE SYMPTOMS
If state=2 And fog=1 And fogred=255 And foggreen=0 And fogblue=0 Then state=4

If state=4,15 Then hudshow=malariaattack And hudfadeout=malariaattack
If state=21 And state=22

If state=5 And scancodekeypressed=34 And frameatend=96 Then setframe=98 And stopsound And state=24 And sound=audiobankcough.wav
If state=5 And state=23


If state=23 And  Then sound=audiobankvomit.wav And state=27

If state=27 And plrdistwithin=999 Then stopsound And plraddhealth=-500 And plrfreeze=1
If state=27 And plrfreeze=0 And state=1

You'll notice that some lines read smoothly and make sense. Other lines don't make sense because they don't make a complete thought.

Here's a hint: Every line of code should have an "If" as well as a "Then".

(This is only part of your problem. Once this is solved, you can move on to your next problem)

(NOTE: The script will not run with the "Ifs" and the "Thens" or even the "Ands", in case you were wondering. This is just an exercise to make the script into a more understandable state.)

The one and only,

thanks Plystire, just a shame im a slow learner in fpsc scripting

the top line is from Bond1's chainsaw brute so there deffently no errors in that as a matter of fact the code is is a written copy of bond1's chainsaw brute dodge attack which is why i dont get why it dont work, but still ill repost the script when its done.

Ply, I was totally about to copy and paste almost the exact same speech I had made.

+ Code Snippet

Some scripting tips:

Try to understand colons in words. Like the first colon on a line, imagine it says "if" instead of a colon. As for the second colon, imagine it says "then". So:

:state=1:destroy
to
"if" state=1 "then" destroy

Simple, eh? Now, commas simply separate commands and conditions. The first set of words are conditions and the second are commands.

"if" (condition) "then" (command)
so
:state=1,shotdamage=1:bloodspurt=1,destroy

Get it?
