Well, I learned by looking at all the scripts and reading them like this:

FIRST COLON ( : ) means if
SECOND COLON ( : ) means then
COMMA ( , ) means and
MORE THAN ONE CONDITION ON ONE STATE (:state=0,plrdistwithin=yourmom
:state=0,plrdistwithin=toofarlol)
means else
so a script should be read like: IF state=1 AND plrdistwithin=yourmom THEN (because there has to be a then) shootplr (run shoot.fpi) AND state=2 (the new state=2)

basically thats what you need. get to know the functions and you will become a good scripter.

go to fps-free.com for a scripting tutorial by the mighty plystire himself

Yes, check the tutorials section of fpsfree.com, but especially check the Community Guide by Nickydude for the most information. It's in a sticky on the Chat board.

Thanks Guys! but i think i sorta get it

:state=0,

so atfirst nothing can happen

plrdistwithin=120

if the player is within in this range do this:

:state=4

so the value has change so what ever you told the engine to do if the value is 4 that will happen?

plese correct if i am wrong

A few problems:

There should only be 1 colon at the start of each line. Do not use semicolons. Place a colon AFTER your list of conditions. Conditions and actions are comma delimited (Means, you seperate them with commas)

Once you get your line syntax correct, there's the issue of using "shotdamage". That condition means that the entity must receive that much damage (or more) in a single shot. That will work for headshots, but remember that there MIGHT be weapons that can kill an entity in one hit without getting a headshot and your script would play the sound for that anyway.



The one and only,

I'd suggest to take a look at a few standard scripts... you could have easily compared your script to those and found out yourself within seconds

That might as well be helpful in the future with some more complex scriopts

The Community Guide may be a good friend for scripters as well:

;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Header

desc = Head Shot Kill Sound

;Triggers

::state=0;shotdamage=95;state=1
::state=1;plrsound=audiobank\Killsounds\1\sd.wav

;End of Script

ok heres the problem:

theres 2 colons in fromt of crap: that basically says to the computer: if then. thats difficult to understand because it means if nothing then nothing.

you commented out everything? wtf? your first line says this to the computer:

if__ then state=0 and (dont read this: shotdamage=95 and now state=1)

also, headshots deals 65505 damage to an enemy immediately: so raise shotdamage to at least over 9000

plrsound? i thought it was playsound?

the end

What you're sayoign is, if you have to press a button witbin 1 second, would it be liek this?




Would that work to freeze the player, wait for them to press a key or die in 5 seconds?

@SikaSina:

Yes, that should work. Your "action to win" would be a little trickier, though.

Lol, it worked but I'm working on the win action and it's coming along pretty well but I need to set a timer to stop the player pressing the key when dead.

This thread is very useful, thank you for arising this question.

Also, plystire, you're my third favourite bed time hero, even though I don't really know who you are
