Lets say we want to scare someone in our game, give him the psychological test at the beginning of the game, where he choses with his keyboard what theme and things are the most creepiest.
And by his choises the script declares variables which then affect the rest of the game. If he choose spiders like creepy, the variable equal some number and the spider spawns in the place where something else could spawn depending on answer, to do this both with monsters, dialogues and sounds.
Wont that lag? (I mean, that would be a lot of scripts)

I would use a starter application that runs the player through a few questions and then starts one of a few game .exes.

But for that we will need to make also every level ``different``
And that will take too much space, also how to hide the original .exe`s? I could probably make something in VB, that runs the application declared by the answers, but I don`t want anyone to run the .exe he wants a.k.a different scares by finding them in FPSCGame folder.

Cheers to all

I think this is possible with a single *.exe and some scripts and I don't believe there will be too much of a performance hit.

There are a few things you will need to do within your scripts to make it work:

[pre-scripting]
0) before you start - make a plan of the questions you will ask and how you want these to affect your game. For example


1) at the start of your script where you ask the Q's, define some variables. For example:


2) Later in your Q script, set the variable to a value depending on the answer. for example:


3) When placing the enemies related to the choice, make sure you set "Spawn at start=No" - this will prevent the enemy from being on the screen if not chosen.

4) To make you enemy appear, place a trigger zone and create another script so that only the selected enemy appears. for example:


Obviously this is just the basics and the final scripts will depend on how you define your questions, your level design and how you chose to spawn your enemies, but I hope this helps you start.
