I'm working on fps creator 1.20 beta. I've tried every flashlight script but it seems that this is the only one that works for me:



i want to be able to pick up a flash light first and batteries in order to use flashlight. Over time the battery will decrease, and decreasing light as well. I''ve tried this:

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=179916&b=23

and it doesnt work. Can anyone help me?

Hi irgeek, and welcome to the forums
What you have there (script) is for the built in flashlight for FPSC 1.20 & higher together with a HUD that displays on-screen so it feels like a real flashlight.See your "flashlightrange=500"
You'll want to decrease that range every couple seconds with an etimer. Like this


If you want a flashlight HUD with a battery life indicator
check out this post,maybe just what you want?
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=128879&b=23
But remember they use an "ambient" light source. You may want to read up alittle on scripting, it will halp alot.

Grab a copy of Ched80's Complete Script Syntax List here
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=180924&b=23
There are alot of conditions & actions to accomplish things.
Look for one action called "plrspeedmod=x" This modifies the speed of the player’s walk or run by a percentage.

Thanks man! you've been a big help. Is there any way to make my enemy disappear without falling animation? I've tried "fadecorpse.fpi" but no luck. I'm using trigger to activatethe enemy for 3 seconds and then disappear.

HI irgeek
When you say "disappear without falling animation" I take it you want the character not play any animations? Just a quick appear and disappear. Trigger your character,then put something like this into the Main script for your character.

Keep the fadecorpse.fpi in the Destroy script.It will just appear for 3sec's. But remember,it will play no animations.

It seems to die with animation.

I have trigger set to plrinzoneactivateused.fpi
enemy set to fade.fpi which is this:



and destroyed as fadecorpse.fpi

First try running your cleaner a couple times. Alot of times there are "left-overs" from a previous test run. Run your cleaner and test again.
Trigger your enemy with a zone. Your enemy's scripts should be
start-appear1.fpi/Main-your fade.fpi (or want ever you call it) /destroy-fadecorpse.fpi Your character should appear only for 3sec's. There are no animations to play in that script.

Hi irgeek
But it is spawning, right? And then disappears after 3secs? The only thing I would try different is changing "spawn after delay" to NO.
Just tested with your settings and all works great for me.Character spawns for 3sec's and disappears.I would double ck my .fpi's if I were you.

I would double check those fpi's again. It works perfect on my end.
The scripts call for no animations to play.
If anyone else comes along and has any idea as to why his character plays an animation with fadecorpse.fpi please let us know.

I did notice something different with your fadecorpse.fpi
You have two colon on the same line. Try this
But it still shouldn't play any animations with this?
One thing,if this doesn't work try changing your destroy script to
plain "disappear1" and test. (disappear2 is same as "fadecorpse")

Glad to hear it worked,but which one? Changing your "fadecorpse" or
using "disappear1"? As for the shadow left behind try changing castshadow=1 to castshadow=0 in the .fpe under visualinfo or if that doesnt work try hideshadow=1 in the appear script?

Hi irgeek The Forum Search at the bottom is your friend. There are different ways of doing this. Also a quick look down the Scripts Forum near the bottom you will see a posting "Oneway Door script". Maybe what your looking for?

Yes, i've heard of the oneway door script. Problem is i'm using a lock door, not a remotedoor. Script wont work on a locked door. My idea was maybe drop or delete the key when you hit a trigger and also will close the door so that you wont be able to open that door again.

This will need two triggers, one will close and the other will delete the keys you have picked up.

Corno_1, that script doesn't work
I placed it on main for the door and it closes once i pass though but i can still open it by pressing enter.

I believe the only way to fix it is by destroying the key once i pass through the door so that i wont be able to open it again. But i don't know how.

sorry, but I also make mistakes. I must study this time, so I did not have time to test my scripts. So I will help as far I can
Try this:

This can be the solution, if not just say

this part:

for a triggerzone use the plrinzoneactivateused.fpi in the scriptbank folder. Pace the doorname into the ifused field of the triggerzone and use the following script for the door



Hope this is all you need

Awesome! It works, thanks! I'm working with way-points but AI keeps looping around my way-points even though i don't have it as a loop. I want the AI to Follow the path and stay at the end of the point and not move. Also how can i apply a 2 second delay before the door shuts close based off your script Corno_1?
