Hello All,

As the title reads. I have been playing around with FPSC for about a year now and. I understand the very basics of scripting specifically FPI. I can open an FPI script and basically understand what it's telling the engine to do. I am at the point where I would like to write scipts that make my enemys do a little more than just stand there and shoot. I'd like to write my own script where maybe they crouch stand and shoot a few rounds when the player is within x distance then crouch again. The snipet I have included is there for you to see how bad I am at this. Please let me know what I have done wrong or if I am even close to understanding how the script should look. I am not requesting someone to write the script for me just help me understand it better.[/code]
;desc= crouch stand and fire then crouch

:state=0:state=1
:State=1,plrdistfurther=100:animate=31,state=0
:state=1,plrdistwithin=100:animate=13,state=2
:state=2,plrdistwithin=100:animate=13,shootplr,state=3
:state=3:state=0[code]

animationstart is checked too fast to see anything in the snippet up there. fpsc checks a line within a millisecond or more, you wont see anything. look into the darkAI-mainscript to get an idea how to animate and condition in rows. but: AI-scripting is by far the hardest to do. start with more simple things like triggering events, then go on to animated/moving things, and do AI in the final.

check out the users-guide in your docs-folder, its best for the first step. scripts there are totally explained and easy to understand. they show you the basics you can work with.

do you use fpi-editpad? helps to learn the grammar of scripting.

Maho,

I do use edit pad. I noticed I had my animations in the conditions tried fixing it but it's late and I need some shut eye. I also was thinking that I should be able to tweak an existing shoot or strafe script to get the effect I am looking for. My first and only successful script was to get a light to turn on when the player got close to it. Scripting makes sense to me but for some reason I just can't connect the dots enough to write it correctly. Thank you for trying to help.

It reminds me a lot of trying to learn music theory. I had so much trouble with it for years then a friend of mine said something one day while we were playing guitar and it just clicked.

ched80 posted a syntax command list on all the commands and I'm pretty sure the community guides have lessons on how to do it

I appear to have burst into flames...
