Hello,
When I add the plraddhealth action to a script, my health does not change.



However, if I use the same scrip and use the plrsubhealth action, my health declines as expected.



Any insight is most appreciated. I'm new to fpi scripting, though not new to scripting as a concept.

Cheers,
Yugo

I did a quick test with your script, and it works fine for me when I put it in a trigger zone. Are you wanting this to be attached to a dynamic entity?

I received an email saying someone posted on this thread, but I don't see it. I guess I'm still figuring out the nuances of this forum.

To answer the phantom post, I am attaching this script to a dynamic entity. An NPC to be specific. If this isn't "normal", is there a way to tie it to an NPC. I'm creating an RPG type of interaction where based on a conversation health will either be added or subtracted. The plrsubhealth works fine in this scenario.

By the way, I'm running v1.19.

Thanks!

Sounds interesting!

I tried again with the script attached to an NPC, and both worked fine... I'm sure that you are, but just in case, are you aware that the player's health can't exceed the amount laid out in the player start marker (e.g. 100)? I forgot and thought it didn't work, but when I reduced my health in a hurt zone first, and then went back to the NPC, it increased my health by one - just like in the script.

I made a tiny tweak to the script as well, just changed the state from 200 to 1, which activates every time you go near the NPC, not just once (Although you may not want that?)



Hope I helped, Let me know

I'm a very new noob so I'm guessing I don't see posts right away. Hence the phantom remark.

No, Duke! I wasn't aware that the starting value of health limited your maximum allowed within the game. I only started working with FPGC this past weekend and have lots to learn.

I'll test it out, but I'm sure this is the problem. I'll just have to figure out a way to make the player's health immediately get assigned the value that I want when starting the game. I saw an action that can change a player's health to whatever one chooses, so hopefully it's not too difficult to script this.

Thanks so much for the quick response, Duke!

Duke,
Yes, this fixed it. The fact that health is limited by the player's start marker is what prevented me from adding additional health points.

I added the maximum health the player can have in the game, and at the player start I added a trigger zone that assigns plrsethealth=10. This way the player enters the first level with little health and has to earn health by answering some questions correctly while holding a conversation with an NPC. Here's the snippet in case any other noobs encounter the same problem I had:



Thanks for your guidance. I'm sure I'll have more questions as I navigate the nuances and idiosyncrasies of FPGC.

Thanks again,
Yugo
