Greetings to all.

I am a FPScreator newb as I just played around with the trial version and read through about half the manual. Pretty good stuff. I do however have some questions I was unable to find answers for.
So far I see the power and quality of creating environments. That is obvious right away. However I am not very clear on how much can be achieved with scripting. With the trial included demos WW2 and SCIFI the artificial intelligence of the enemies is not very good. They tend to stand there for some time before seeing you and if you have them follow you they just get stuck in corners. I always thought that if you have a demo available you show off your best stuff. So graphical quality is great but is this possible to create by using the scripting language/using the features of the engine.

1.Inventory system i.e. Player presses “I” and a grid with items shows up where you can arm weapons wear armor.

2.Player approaches a door and in order to open has to input a numerical code. Essentially can a query box be created where the user inputs numbers or strings to gain access?

3.Outdoor levels where a ground mesh is loaded thus simulating outdoors.

4.Animated sky in the outdoor levels?

5.Moving/dynamic light? I simply do not know if the engine is powerful enough to crunch that in real time.

6.Reflections? I saw some screenshots of bump-mapped surfaces but I saw nothing regarding reflections.

7.Liquid movement simulation? I.e. waves and such.

8.I saw some steam in the SCIFI demo…is fire or fog possible?

Well I have few more…but I figure this is a tall order as it is 

I thank you in advance for any info.

Hey, welcome to the forums and FPS Creator!
1. As of yet, no.
2. Yes with some scripting, it should be possible.
3. I don't understand the question, sorry.
4. I highly doubt it.
5. Should be possible with a fair amount of scripting.
6. Don't think so.
7. Nope not possible yet.
8. Yes they are both possible!
I hope this helps you and I highly encourage you to buy FPS Creator, even though it has many limitations, it is still an EXCELLENT piece of software, and does everything it says it will. Hope to see you making some games soon,

Tom

Yes I am very sorry but if you like at my post times they were posted about 1 second apart. For some reason it simply posed twice and then it would not let me edit probably due to probation period.
