Hi All

I think I am ready to trying upping my scripting skills with project blue but I was hoping some of you could help point me in the right direction of some scripts to help get me started. For instance, I understand this mod allows you to select which level your game will load next allowing players to backtrack through the game but I am struggling to find a script for this. Has anyone any ideas where I can find it?

Also, the variable system in this script requires you to declare variables in each level - does that mean that variables from previous levels are not carried over? Do they then need to be declared again?

Finally, I read somewhere someone had modified Conjured Entertainment's cash/purchase system to run on PB - was this posted in this forum?

Sorry for all the questions - I've searched the forum to no avail and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, the command is nextlevel=X, from the manual
Quote: "
Nextlevel=X
o Makes it so when the current level is completed, Level X will begin."


Quote: "does that mean that variables from previous levels are not carried over"

From my experience, yes they do carry over.

Quote: "I read somewhere someone had modified Conjured Entertainment's cash/purchase system to run on PB"

I'm not sure,but it is very easy to make.

This was my setup to display the money, then all you need for purchase is to add, vargreater=money X, to the script.

Hope This Helps

I do believe PB comes with a nice collection of scripts for users to look at. Perhaps dissecting and playing around with those would help out with learning the new commands?

If nothing else, trolling through the manual might give you some ideas for scripts to try making!

when it says next level=x

does 'x' mean you put a number, name or directory?

could someone please write an example script?

X is the level number. You choose the level order when you build the game. Give the script the number of the level you want to go to next.

Yep, but you have to script it. The script below I wrote will do this for you:

desc = Fade in HUD

;Triggers

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=50,hudimagefine=gamecore\huds\yourhud,hudname=yourhud,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=1

:state=1:dimvar=myhudalpha,setvar=myhudalpha 0,hudshow=yourhud,state=2

:state=2,varless=myhudalpha 255:addvar=myhudalpha 1

:state=2:hudalpha=yourhud %myhudalpha,hudshow=yourhud

Uhh, yeah...

I forgot how the "winzone" worked... but just edit that script to do whatever

:plrwithinzone=1:"actions"

the actions are after 10 seconds. (Hmm, might need a win object)

I know I had enemies activate the zone, and incriment state, to force players to kill x amount of enemies before winning... but I can't seem to find a command that looks like "nextlevel"

Its not who you are or what you've done... its WHY you did it and how far you are willing to go.
If you fear speaking for yourself, make use the words of others while discovering your own voice.

@Bootlicker:

Make an entity that can be picked up. Hide it some place in your levela nd amke it ALWAYS ACTIVE. Script that entity to be picked up when it has been activated. Then give it an Objective Number and make SURE that there are no other "Objective" entities in your level.

Now, simply activate that entity to win the level at any time.


@Les Horribres:

NextLevel is a command in Project Blue.
