Hi Dida
Take a look at BlackFox's response in this post. http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=205356&b=23
It has to do with timing. You may need a bit of a delay at the start.

Just by chance, make sure your postprocessing is set to 1
[postprocessing=1] in your "setup.ini" file.
Changes only take place in setup.ini with FPSC closed.

Also your effect(rain) does not turn off, even when leaving your zone. So you really don't need states 4&5. If you do want it turned off how about, :state=4,plrwithinzone=0:setposteffect=none,state=2

What's not working? The rain effect? Can you paint a picture or describe what you are doing exactly (step by step if possible)?

The script you attempted to use is from the default post effects for rain. It does work, but you also need to know how the engine works and why things don't work. The script works fine for me, so I am a bit lost as to what or why it is not working for you.


There's no problem that can't be solved without applying a little scripting.

i got this effect called hue.fx it's a effect i got from Post Processing Pack - Camera Lens Effects i changed the :state=3:setposteffect=rain,state=4 to :state=3:setposteffect=hue,state=4

but nothing is showing up

I am taking the script and applying it to a triggerzone so when the brah player is spawning the effect will come in and be there

Hi Dida
Good catch by Anubis. I didn't see that one.
But I'm alittle lost?
Quote: "i got this effect called hue.fx "
but your script calls for the rain effect. I think you need to describe exactly what your doing/trying to do.

Edit: ok I see where you said you change it to "hue.fx" but it would help if you still showed us what you have.

So actually what you are saying is that this script works fine. Unless you place another trigger (story) in your game.. than THIS script stops working.
We need at least see the other script, cause somehow thats the one that messes this one up.

btw.. the last 3 lines of your code:


Does not work.. every time your script comes at state 4, it goes to state 3 without thinking, it will not check for plrwithinzone.. Since :state=4:state=3 doesnt have a condition. Its being processed immediately. (ncmako already posted this in his second post!)

@ Dida
There does seem to be a problem when using both "story" & a "trigger" over lapping and playing a video.
I do have a work around. Just use a single trigger, apply this to its "Main" script

If you look at the script you'll see it uses the video path and "playfullvideo". This seems to force the video to play first before going to the effect. Try it and let us know.

Hi Dida
Sorry about that, it was only the partial script I posted.
Yeah, I had "entity logic" go thru the roof too with that one.
Here it is cleaned up.
note: without the timer (1/10 sec) in the script I also had problems getting the postprocess to run?
Here's a another with "rain" only in the zone(resets).
Tested, works. My "entity logic" stayed low with these.
best luck

Sure you can. Just think about it. Throw in an "etimerstart" after the effect has started. Then after 5sec's kill it with "setposteffect=none". Look at your original scripts how the timer was used, then apply it to the effect.. You can do it, just try it

You have a couple of syntax errors and your "etimergreater=100" is in milliseconds so it will not play the rain for very long set at 100.

This is how you can have the effect on for 5 seconds.



The "state=3" line is where you would insert the timer for 5 seconds (etimer is in milliseconds- 5000ms equals 5 seconds).

I would also suggest if you have not done so, grab a copy of the Script Syntax found here. It outlines all the conditions/actions and may help you.


There's no problem that can't be solved without applying a little scripting.

@ BlackFox
I don't know if you read thru this thread yet? But can you think of a reason why an effect wont play right after a video unless you give it a slight delay?

Without that delay I couldn't get the effect to run. As soon as I did (even just 100ms) it works? I 'm sure this is not a bug, but just how the engine handles things.
confused & just wondering ncmako

Exactly right. It is how the engine processes the commands in order to play each one called. There are some that actually need to be in front of others to work, otherwise they don't work and then people think it is a bug. Even commands we have created for ourselves have to be in a certain order with other commands to work effectively. In this case, the script has already started and by the time the "video" command is called, the script has skipped the call for the effect and ended because it is playing the video. By adding the delay, it allows the engine to activate the command called (video), give a short inhale and say "okay, we have another". The same theory to why we put periods at the end of a sentence (so we can inhale a breath and continue).

Make sense?

Thank you, makes perfect sense.
As soon as you said "have to be in a certain order" I remembered this has come up before from time to time.

Don't forget to include the extension of the sound file in your script. Either "audiobank/lisa/voice/ann.wav" or "audiobank/lisa/voice/ann.ogg", etc.
