Please show me how to get my characters to play a .wav file to talk. I can't seem to figure it out. If you could give me an example code that would be greatly appreciated. GOD Bless!!

hi, there is no example script for that... you need to buy dark voices to get that work. that's a lip sync program for all your chars. use it and it will work

If you have version 117. Then there is a addendum.rtf file in the docs folder that explains how to get this working.

No spaces in the wav file name and it has to be a 16bit 44khz mono file.

Follow the instructions and it does work.

Hope this helps.

Sorry about reviving this old thread, but I have a question in relation to this. I've read the addendum as Pirate Myke said and I understand about how to get the character to talk.

My question is this, the addendum says that the aimain script has to be set to greetplayer.fpi, fair enough, I get that, but how do I get the character to shoot at me once he/she has finished talking?

You will need to make a script similar to the greetplayer.fpi script (which contains the code for making the character talk) and change it to make the character attack the player. I think the "greetplayer.fpi" script is just an example of how to make it work.

The one and only,

State=2 uses the soundfinished=1 to continue to state=3 after talking, so just change state 3 so it calls your attack script.

In this example

+ Code Snippet


;Script description

desc          = Character will greet player with speech when get close

;Starts level in idle posture, looking around slightly

:state=0:animate=1,state=1
:state=1,random=40:rotateheadrandom=10

;Talk as soon as get within range (or activated)

:state=1,activated=1:talk=$1,state=2
:state=1,plrdistwithin=90:talk=$1,state=2
:state=2,plrcannotbeseen:rotatetoplr
:state=2:lookatplr=80
:state=2,soundfinished=1:state=3

;:state=3,plrdistwithin=90:lookatplr=80
;:state=3,plrdistfurther=90,random=40:rotateheadrandom=10

:state=3:runfpi=people\shootclose10.fpi

;End of Script

you can see that I just commented the old state=3 lines and then added a new one.
