Can there be an infinite spawn point?
example:

This would be a minigame thing. There's a door in front of you. There's a [1|small table] behind you. On it is three weapons: rocket launcher, pistol, machine gun. [2|The pistol has infinite ammo]. [3|The others don't.] [4|Then, from the door, comes six enemies of random types.] Another [5|random enemy type comes for each original enemy you kill. (from the spawn point)] That way, you have infinite enemies coming at you. [6|It also keeps your score and saves it in a high score table if it's a high score.]

There. A semidetailed minigame. The numbers mean, is this possible? If someone could answer those, thanks. I'll put them in a list below with a bit more detail.

The numbers correspond to the numbers in the paragraph.

1| small table (I could import my own, but is it included as well as the large one in the media?)

2| weapons with infinite ammo.

3| sorry I know you can do this! I didn't realize that when I was typing and I didn't feel like changing all the numbers !

4| spawning more than one enemie of DIFFERENT TYPES from the same spawn point

5| Another enemie (of random type) being spawned after killing one (one kill makes one enemy)

6| High score table (with multiple slots) or "this computers highest score" where it only shows one. If you can do the one with multiple slots, can you have it as OPTIONAL to put your score into it, like you need to press a button located at the Game Over screen?

Thanks!

isn't that kinda boring? Anyways, you have a trigger point that activates when let's say obj_enemy dies, and when the enemy dies, another enemy is created on instance at x,y,z, where-ever you want.

@AnimeCivil
STOP answering questions with coding tips.
We are NOT talking about "DarkBasic" Pro we are talking
about "FPScreator".
You do this in every thread.

MY answer, which has basicall yno codes. There is no other way than to code this. How would the computer know what you want to do? That's why you have to program it.

Well this forum is about an application that is called "First Person shooter creator" that lets you create fps game without any coding.
We are all asking questions about what the "First Person shooter creator" can do.
We are not asking questions about what you can code?
So do you get it now "Animecivil"?
We are not interested in coding we want to know about FPSC.

Quote: "trigger point that activates when let's say obj_enemy dies, and when the enemy dies, another enemy is created on instance at x,y,z,"

For example, we dont even know (and you dont either) if the scripting in FPSC work this way.

The question is simple. Actually two questions :

Q. Can you spawn an enemy in FPSC by using an in built action and applying that to an enemey entity?

A. Yes or No?

Q. Can you spawn an enemy in FPSC by FPI scripting and applying that to an enemey entity?

A. Yes or No?

That can be done un an ULTIMATE BASIC coding strategy, and if fpsc can't do that, then I don't know what it CAN do :p

An enemy attacking sscript is more complicated than the spawning one

Irritating is an understatement.

Back on topic, you can set spawn points for enemies - and I *think* a setting of 0 is infinite.

Europe, dont EVER judge people unless you know them.

Second of all, I make spelling mistakes because I type this up in about 10 seconds.

Third of all, dont ever tell me that "THIS FORUM IS NON CODING ONLY", because NOWHERE in this forum does it say its non coding.

After all, I am entitled to my oppinion, and I will stick to this.




The reason why I do this is because I have been working with game design and website design for many years now, and I have been on many forums, and most people who really make me angry are the noobs, and you people remind me of them.

The people usually buy a $200 dollar drag and drop engine, thinking they will make the Next doom 3, and then they ask questions like, "How can I make the enemy shoot 3 supermissles, then they transport to the begginging of the level, make force fiels appear in front of them, 20 000 spaceships fly down and attack the player, and make meteroids fall out of the sky using drag and drop?"

Though the answer is that it cannot be done in drag and drop, but only in coding, and then 500 noobs ar edissapointed and start getting upset because they thought they can make the next big thing using drag and drop, so dont tell em that I am wrong, because I have experience with this for some time now, and yes, I understand that most people ask about drag and drop, and you people can answer in your drag and drop theory, but I will answer in mine also, just so the user doesnt get any suprises when he/she recieves his/her program.

Europe? Ya, right.

Give me a break, huh? Yes, I'm sure using terms like "anyways" and "whatever" are European. LOL!

No. In fact, you are an American teenager whose parents have given you a PC with broadband access (to both your and thier detriments). You hide behind alias' and screen names and invade forums with your trolling and flaming behavior because you can't find the validation you're looking for outside of cyberspace.

Here's my advice and you can take it or leave it (considering your age range, I predict you'll leave it):

1. Accept who you are and make the best of it. High school will be over before you know it and the criteria to "be someone" you now see as so all important will vanish.

2. Stop trolling on this forum and making a complete ass of yourself. If you're not interested in discusing FPSC and/or the issues related to the FPSC community, then by all means go back to AOL or where ever you came from and engage in your pointless banter there.

Second of all, **** you, I AM from europe, Slovakia, but I dont tink you have the intelligence, so I will give you a clue, it is eastern Europe, second of all, I left Europe when I was 9, came to Canada, learned english, and for your information, I am a website designer, and I never flood any posts, and I have the right to say what I want.

Basically, you people here are totally screwed, because when I say

"Meaby try iusing a code, tha tmight help"

that get's you awfully mad for some reason. Second of all, I am 14, and though you are about 30 or I dont know how old you are, you should know this is a standard word for my age.

Second of all, I dont think you get out of your country often. Kids in my country, use slang words even more than in Canada, and the US.

I have things to do, future set out, and I dont think I will hang at a game making forum if I'm 30, so please, if you want to offend someone, look at yourself first.

What matters is that he insist on comming on this forum telling us that he has the right to answer our questions about FPSC with how we should code it in c++ (or any other language)
He does not have the brain to realise that we don't want his coding tips. We are trying to figure out what we will be able to do
with FPSC. (With no coding)
If he thinks that we are loosers because we want to use FPSC instead
of coding then tough luck.
He is just jelous about the fact that he couldnt code anything better then what we will be able to do with FPSC.
He thinks he deserevs some kind of recognition for
using pure code and not drag and drop....

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Talk is cheap.

Everyone is welcome to show their game productions off to the world and support their EGO.

Soon FPSC users will have that option.

"Your" game will say it all.........no need for words..........

No, you do not know me. I am not thinking you people are dumb, nor do I think I am smarter than you. I have said some bad things in the past, but that is the past. I am sorry for saying those things, and I will not recomend any coding tips anymore, and of course, as Uman said, we will see by the games made.

Of course, I will not be the one to make the best game, due to the fact that we need to follow the rules of reality.

It's always the quiet guy who makes the best game, the guy who nobody knows about, so we will see who that is.

Holy crap! This is the most intelligent observation I have seen you display. Who are you and what did you do with animecivil... on second thought nevermind I like you better. jk!

Seriously guy if you ever get the urge to just blurt out something come back and read what you have just written up there. That's pretty good stuff.

Sadly I'm not very quiet.. at least not around here
ah well I still have big dreams

PS - if this is a new chilled out and cooler version of you then I take back every terrible thing I picked at you about. Everybody should get along. Life is too short

Perhaps as with most things we can we learn something from each other. I am sure that I can learn a lot from other people here - and will learn from seeing other peoles games when made. They may be people who want to get into the scripting side of FPSC or those who dont. Many people from differing persuations in game making have something valid to say or a valid staement to make in their gamemaking. I try to keep my mind open to all opinions and meanwhile learn from everything I see made.

Hopefully I will also have something to contribute that may be of help to others too.

Me too

I secured the domain name last night and did some basic work on temp website (still have a lotttt more to do) so in a few days when the name is resolving and I have everything done and uploaded I'll post my game idea.

Hint - it's a sci-fi / horror FPS (like THAT's never been done before )

Can't wait to see what you guys come up with!

I know Noldor's got a thing for horror and judging from his wall template and trash can he'll have some pretty nice models and poking around uman's site produced some verrry interesting screencaps from previous efforts so that will be cool to see what mystery he has up his sleeve

Many of the other posters here seem to have a storyline idea and if nothing else a real passion for trying thier hand so who knows!?!

You guys seem to be well ahead of me.

Think I said - dont expect anything (Complete game) from me until around 2006 or later - unless its some screenies or a small demo - maybe a training level mission or a multplayer level one if its in by then.

I am expecting to have to put a lot of time in even though we are talking FPSC here. I will try to use as many of my own (favourite) textures and some other content like speech and environmental audio and more of my own which have to be created/edited and so on which will take a lot of time. This as I would like a reasonably unique look.

I dont really know till I get FPSC and sum up what it all means, then I am likely to dissapear for a while (I'll be working away, i'll pop by to pick your brains of course) so you wont have to put up with me for much longer (for a while at least hopefully),

But........

i'll be back

OK then if you insist I may post some screenies ASAP...........see how it goes

Only in dreams my friend

I like to think BIG, but reality often crashes down hard when I look at how much work is ahead of me. I *hope* my game will be ready before 2006, but honestly if it is then it won't be of the caliber that I want to achieve.
