Ok. what i am doing is working on a game. But my problem is, i can't seem to find the .fpi script needed to turn colonel-x's awarness off, or make him not notice me on till i pick up a gun. The problem with this is, even though i have his "Always Active" set to "No" and i have a trigger box set up on the weapons so that if i pick them up he will hear it. But it's not working and i am trying a few methods, one being setting the trigger box on the weapons and so forth and turn colonel X off. Doing so i was hoping it would turn his awarness off on till he herd the sounds of the guns being picked up hens causing the trigger box to trigger him to activate.

But when i test the game, there he is, cocked locked and ready to roll. Blesten at me before i even pick up the weapons, so i am a little lost as to what to do, can any one help me out here?

Another question i have is, how can i make or find a script ware the AI doesnt start blasten ya, like an AI script thats on YOUR side..

EDIT: Can you reword what you are trying to accomplish. I can't understand what you are asking.

oh... thought i was waiting longer... sorry...

basically im having trouble trying to get the tigger zone to work. Colonel X always is ready for me when i spawn in the game to test it out. What i am trying to do is set it up so if i pick up my ak74, he hears it and swings right around.. but doesnt notice me if i dont pick it up. Same goes for some keys i am working on..

Okay, so what happens exactly? Once you pick up the gun, the badguy flips out?

I'm sorry, I am confused...

Once the gun is picked up (Or a key, which ever makes more sense) It causes the trigger zone to kick in and activate Colonel X and make him react. Because basically, the player (me) is trespassing in a HIGHLY classified facility

Well, FPSC scripting is kinda like puzzles. Have you ever programmed in another language, like Java, or Visual basic?

Basically, you got conditions, and actions. So if this happens, than that happens. Thats Fpsc's scripting.

I can teach you via email if you want, when I find some more time on my hands. Once you understand scripting, fpsc looks very different.

here's a solution using ply's mod, in the main AI script add the condition that checks if the player has a weapon before plrcanbeseen (can't remember it exactly but u'll find it in the guide)..

if u don't wanna use ply add the weapon in a trigger zone, name a variable and set it's value to 0 at the begining, when the player steps in the trigger zone set the variable to 1 and again add the condition that the variable equals one with plrcanbeseen..

i think you want colX to just stand there until you pick up a weapon.

you can do this by a plrdistwithin command. put the weapon as far as the distance you want to be when he attacks you. forget the trigger zone.
