Well! Hello there!


I do have a question for all those amazing scripters in this community.

I want, lets say, that in my game, when the player goes through "X" sound zone [Or Trigger Zone] something, a sound or a creature, will appear, but nontheless of the player stepping on that zone again, the effect that "X" did, will not repeat.

For all Trigger Zone scripts you only want to run once, just add DESTROY to the end of the very last line.


Destroying scripted entities after they aren't needed anymore is always the best solution, because every active script takes a tiny toll on the game performance

In case you find my grammar and spelling weird ---> native German speaker ^^

Do I need to add a new "State" line?

Addendum

You may not know, but I'm a "Noob" at scripting.

Addendum-b

Nevermind, I added the previous state line before "Destroy" and it worked.

You can also use the following:



Both have the same effect. The DESTROY carries it one step further by running the "destroy" script of the entity. For entities set to "fade" (such as a character), this is the better method.

Thanks both of you! Too bad they don't include scripts such as "soundinzone-onlyonce" and so on the stock scripts, they could have saved me the shame!

This one works as it should. It plays the sound once and that is it.

soundinzone.fpi

Thanks! Also, I wonder, or I may have to do another thread... But I want to feel no more shame for my so-so nooby skills at Scripting... Do you have a script for [Without battery-charge] Wasp Mod's flashlight?

There are several working flashlight scripts around.

Just type "flashlight" into the search box below and you'll see all the threads.

Btw, there is no "best" flashlight script imo, everyone has has his or her preferences for their own games.

Mhm! But I haven't seen one using Wasp Mod's capabilities, as in "Flashlight on" or so. I have seen Hud flashlights though, but they don't use the Wasp commands.
