First The hudicon works fine the first time I meet harry, Im getting a blanket for Him, but then the hudicon is invisible when I am about to talk to Him again. (Want it to work same as I meet Harry for the first time.)
Also another problem here is that Harry will give Me a wrench, so I can open cell "9". I dont know exactly how I can do that.. ...Any ideas, help please...
I send a zip with the scripts and the sounds:

It looks like the line at state=10 & 2 go in circles...here try this and see if it works better ?

"activateifused=15" is that correct ??? (15) This should show the hud each time player approaches the "blanket"
but if you take the "blanket" the script ends, is that what you wanted ?

Second, what is the "harry_talk.fpi script for ? Was it an extra script in the folder and not needed?

[/quote]give Me a wrench, so I can open cell "9" ...how I can do that[quote=]
Very easy, do you have the "wrench" entity already made? Also, does the "Cell Door #9" have any extra scripts running
for it. If not good, use one of the "key" scripts for the wrench to open the Cell Door.

I think I need a "little" more help. What I want is...

1. Talkicon shows up within=80 from Character
2. Pressaction and Talk Harry1 sound play
3. Talkicon shows up within=80 from Character (only if player got the blanket)
4. (plr has blanket) Pressaction and Talk Harry2 sound play
5. (plr get wrench from Harry) show toolpicture for about 5 seconds.
6. Outside cell "9" show "tool" icon and set it within=80 from the cell-door
7. Hold down actionbutton for about 15 seconds and play "wrench-sound" and the cell-door opens after 15 seconds.
8. I dont want the tool-icon to show up before I get the wrench.. (Possible?)
9. Now the cell-door can open and close as usual...

It looks like mutch work(!) But I dont think it takes so many scripts...

Mr Love I think the problem is at "state=10" in both of these scripts.

state=10 goes to state=2, then goes right back to state=10 without player doing anything ?
Seems like a loop/cycle is going on No problem to fix.
I have tonight free and will take your info above and work on it

Mr Love I already noticed first problem, your sound file harry1.ogg is 25 seconds long and the timer is set for only 7 sec's ?
Also please if you can send/upload the "talk" hud image so I can make sure everything works correctly.
Is the "blanket" something player picks up , And when/where does the "wrench" come into play ? How does player get "wrench" ?

No the problem must be in the end-part of the script. When I got the blanket the talk-icon doesnt show up, the problem shourld be after activated=15 (I think):

:state=20:etimerstart,sound=audiobank\dialog\prison\harry1.ogg,plrfreeze=7000,state=21
:state=21,etimergreater=7000:state=22

:state=22,activated=15:state=3
:state=3,plrdistwithin=80,plrusingaction=1:hudshow=talk,hudfadeout=talk,state=30
:state=30,plrusingaction=1:etimerstart,sound=audiobank\dialog\prison\harry2.ogg,plrfreeze=20000,state=31
:state=31,etimergreater=20000:state=51

Yes, I know. I tried several times to update a post or make changes and it doesn't do anything

I just wanted to be on the same page as you. Wasn't sure if it was an image or text or something else ???

Ok, Yes i see the "playertake" command now.

Mr Love Ok, scripts work now. I used your file paths to make sure everything was ok.
I assumed your attaching the "talk" script to a character and the "blanket" script to an object..correct?
You can now talk to "harry"..... then get "blanket" .... return to harry to finish conversation.
But, what is your plan on how to give player the "wrench" ?

Yes, that will work very easily. First, is the "cell door" a regular (animated) door?
One that can be "activated" by/with a key? All segment door have this property setting,
does yours ? If not we'll have to activate the cell door to open.

Quote: "but what "tool" icon ?"

Just an icon with tools on that shows when You got the wrench, when You are 80 units close to the door, 128x128, hudx=50 hudy=90
Quote: "How about I just use "hudtext" for the cell door?"

No, I really dont want that, I use a picture of the wrench tool, with a text pasted over "WORKING" (and sound from a wrench tool working) Isnt this the same as lock-picking?
You must hold in the button 10 seconds (While You are working with the wrench) then the door can be opened with the regular door icon. This script is attached to the door...
Courld You help with the door-script???

I was just about to upload the scripts, I'll see if I can find a "tool" pic. to plug into the script.

Quote: "I use a picture of the wrench tool, with a text pasted over "WORKING" "

Ok, but the player NEEDS to know that he MUST keep holding the "Enter" key somehow ?
Or else this script resets itself. That's why I added some text so they know to hold key.
Also, I have script set to 15 sec's, you want 10 sec's now?
Quote: " sound from wrench... Isnt this the same as lock-picking?"

Yes, I took a "lock picking" sound file and made it exactly as long as the timer.
Quote: "Courld You help with the door-script???"

Yes, the script is attached to the door, that's the best/easiest way to do this.
The "wrench" is just a key for the door

Ok, attached are the scripts needed for this. I have included a simple map using just stock entities so you can see the setup. It's only four small scripts.
I decided to skip adding a picture of the wrench tool so you can add what you like/need to the door script. Just replace my "text hud" with your image.

The setup is very easy
First, for the Cell-Door "Use Key" field ( Not the If-Used field ) add the name "wrench" ( name of key to unlock door) Give the cell door the "celldoor.fpi" script.
Second...name of character is "harry" in harrys "If Used" field add the name "wrench" also ( he will activate the key ) Give "harry" the "harry_talk.fpi" scipt.
Third... place your "Blanket" make sure it's dynamic. Give it the "pickup_blanket.fpi" script. In it's If Used filed add the name "harry"
Last... take any key or little object ( I used one of the keys from the ww2 pack) Name it "wrench", place it anywhere in your level, does not need to be seen ( I placed mine right behind harry )
Give the wrench (key) the "wrench.fpi" script. That's it ! Test run and it will work perfectly.

Everything works fine now, except that the tool icon still are shown even if You are very far from the door, courld someone help Me with this?
Here is ncmakos modded script:

;Triggers

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=90,hudimagefine=gamecore\text\tools.dds,hudname=tools,hudhide=1,hudmake=display
:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=50,hudimagefine=gamecore\huds\working.dds,hudname=working,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=10

:state=10,plrdistwithin=60,plrhaskey=0:hudhide=1
:state=10,plrdistwithin=60,plrhaskey=1:state=1,hudshow=tools

:state=1,plrdistwithin=60,plrusingaction=1:hudunshow=tools,hudshow=working,state=2,etimerstart,sound=audiobank\dialog\prison\picklock.ogg
:state=2,plrusingaction=0:hudunshow=working,hudshow=tools,stopsound,state=10
:state=2,etimergreater=10000:hudunshow=working,hudunshow=tools,state=3

Mr Love Let me check my script. I see one problem already, at state=10 your using "hudhide" like an action command?
It's only supposed to be used during the definition of a hud, Not sure if it works that way ? If player does not have "key"
and you don't want a hud .... just omit that line .
At the line state=2 if player stops using the action key "plrusingaction=0:hudunshow=working,hudshow=tools"
it shows the "tools" hud again...even if you walk/go far away

Let me work this out. This is why I needed the "exact" images for the hud and what you intended them to do
before hand so no changes are needed later on.

Ok, I just guessing here since I don't have the hud images. try & test this for the cell door.

Yes, but "hudhide" is an action command and that part works fine...

Quote: "Ok, I just guessing here since I don't have the hud images. try & test this for the cell door."

Just make an black 128x128 picture with white text and write "tools" and another one 512x256 with the text "wrench"....
One rule I need to tell You is that the icons ALWAYS disappear when press actionbutton(!!!)

Ok, Your script did behave exactly like My mod script, and has the same problem. When You have past the door and run far away the tool icon still shows! And dont be fooled by the screenshot. The icon and the wrench never appear at the same time...

Worked like a charm ncmako! If You continue like this You must be My lead programmer...
But I still have a problem with the wrench script, I cant make the wrench disappear?? Can You see whats wrong?

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=50,hudimagefine=gamecore\huds\wrench.dds,hudname=tool,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=10
:state=10,activated=1:etimerstart,state=1,playertake,hudshow=tool,coloff,plrsound=audiobank\misc\ping.wav,state=11
:state=11,etimergreater=3000:hudhide=tool
:state=1:none

Very well done, Thank You!

That's not the script I uploaded Did you change it Yes, that's why I like the "text hud" scripts, they seem to work flawlessly.
Ok, you added an image hud I see. If you look at the line at "state=10" the script goes to both state=1 and state=11 ??? Easy fix...
And don't use "hudhide" it'll cause problems

Or you can "fade out" the hud after 3 secs, might be easier on the eyes?

Well it shourld work I know.. But it doesnt, the wrench stays on the screen. I think it perhaps interfer with the other scripts perhaps? The hud-text quality is so very bad in FPSC so I wourld hate to use it....


But one thing works, if I remove etimergreater=3000 and use hudfade, I can see the wrench just as long as the text, and it fade away.. If We cant make it perfect, this is the best option...

Mr Love Your going to have to make the "wrench" (key) set to "always active" now. That's also why I used "text huds" & hudfadeout before.
When you pickup the "wrench" now the script triggers the hud to show, the "wrench" entity is gone from map, but the script has a timer...
so the hud image remains on screen. Set the "wrench" entity to "always active" and the hud will disappear after 3 secs. BUT, that means your
"wrench" entity & script will always be "active" You could add "destroy" to the script...to kill if off?
Let me see if there's a better way around this?

Ok I hear You... To make the "wrench" always active is no catastrophe. I was going to use a "null" object with 6 polygons and no animations ofcourse, totally invisible..
But if You can find a better way, then I am the happyest Man...

Mr Love Yes, just set the 'wrench" (key) to "always active" so the script continues to run after being picked up.
You can add the "destroy" command at the very end of the script if you wish. That should stop it from running ?

one of them ? By your last line the "Objective system" is now working ???

Your referring to this old post ? ....https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/219668
Yes, I think placing one "main" script on each level is best for this. All objectives are completed before
going to the next level, correct ??? ( nothing needs to be carried over to the next level ? )
This way you should have fewer problems also
