Hey all, I'm N4warhead new to this site and to FPI scripting, one of my friends came to me asking if i could learn it and make scripts for him. (Sense I'm known for my scripting skills with other programs) I think i have the basics handled but had a problem with one of my scripts and was thinking someone here could help me out.

I tried to make a health pack that gives you 250 health (no matter what your health is at that time) then decreases what it gave you by 1. (sorta like a temporary powerup) Here is what i have, don't laugh because this is relatively still new to me.

+ Code Snippet

;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Header

desc          = Super Health Pack (+250) Decreases by 1

;Triggers

:state=0,cantake,plrdistwithin=50,:playertake,localvar=1,plraddhealth=250,plrsound=audiobank\items\healthup.wav,state=1
:state=1,varless=249,plrhealthgreater=101:plraddhealth=-1,incvar=1,state=2
:state=1,varequal=250:state=0,setvar=0
:state=2,varless=249,plrhealthgreater=101:plraddhealth=-1,incvar=1,state=1

Hi N4Warhead

I'm also new to scripting myself, and I'm looking for ways to practice so I might be able to help you.

Here it is: Didn't have time to test it though.

+ Code Snippet

;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Header

desc          = Get 250 health and decrease by one until desired value

;Triggers
;Remember to remove the [] 

:state=0,cantake,plrdistwithin=80:state=1,playertake,plraddhealth=250,plrsound=audiobank\items\healthup.wav,etimerstart
:state=1,etimergreater=1:plraddhealth=-1,state=2
:state=2,plrhealthgreater=[99]:state=0

;End of Script

Remember to remove the [] and enter your own value if needed.

Also, I think your signature may be too big but Im not sure.

Thanks for the help, i was about to give up on this forum. It seems it still doesn't work for some reason. It gives you 250 health but it doesn't decrease in value and my signature is 500x241. I really appreciate your help.

Here, try that.

I'd do something like this(a slight modification of Dark Frager's). Note that etimergreater=100 means that true is returned after 100 milliseconds,and therefore 1hp deducted.
Then a simple check is made if the player's health is above or equal to the normal,so it can go to that same sequence of deduction again. The trick is to loop it from state 1 to state 3 and back to state 1 , so the timer is reset every 100 milliseconds. The whole script is basically a loop within itself,due to its constant execution.

I made a script that assumes you start with 300 health and has a call of duty thing going on, you could probably pick that apart to get what you want

I appear to have burst into flames...
