Here is the very first script that i made, so im obviously a noob, for some reason this doesn't work, i was hoping someone could tell me.

Ok, so here's the problem.
I want to make it so that when i press a button, a hud image pops up on the screen.

I made this script, attached it to a dynamic entity and set always active to on.

It displayed the image on my hud all the time, i want it just to display it when i press a button.

does anyone have any ideas as to what i did wrong?

here is my script's code:


Any help would be appreciated!

Almost right but change the from state=10 to this :

:state=10,scancodekeypressed=41:hudshow=objectives.tga,state=1
:state=1:entitytimerstart,state=2
:state=2,entitytimergreater=6000:state=3
:state=3:hudunshow=objectives.tga,state=0
;End of Script


and it should work fine.

Im a wizz at texturing toilets

"


You left out "hudhide=1" on the "state=0" line so the hud was visible all the time. Also, it's good to use "hudname=objectives" and then "hudshow=objectives" or whatever name you assigned. So the line would be:

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=90,hudimagefine=gamecore/huds/objectives.tga,hudname=objectives,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=10
:state=10,scancodekeypressed=41:hudshow=objectives

You then have "state=1" which does nothing and the next line, "state=3" never happens either.

Best.

First of all, thanks for your guys' help.

ok, now when i start up the game, it doesn't show the objectives screen.

when i press the button it displays it, so that worked.

now the only problem is, when i let go of the key, it just stays there (even after 6 seconds).

how do i get it so that when i release the key, it dissapears?

my current code is this (by the way, i just changed it from the tilde to the Tab button)


any ideas?

:state=10,scancodekeypressed=15:hudshow=objectives
:state=1:entitytimerstart,state=2
:state=2,entitytimergreater=6000:state=3
:state=3:hudunshow=objectives.tga,state=0




"state=1" never happens. Place "state=1" at the end of your "state=10" line so:

:state=10,scancodekeypressed=15:hudshow=objectives,state=1

If your timer code is correct (which I have not tested) and the timer works properly, the rest looks like it should hide the hud again after 6 secs. Then it returns to "state=0" and starts all over again, waiting for a keypress.

Also, change the "state=3" line:
:state=3:hudunshow=objectives.tga,state=0

to:
:state=3:hudunshow=objectives,state=0

You should be using the hudname (objectives), not the hud file name (objectives.tga).

Best.

Here's how I would do it without using a timer.
It displays when you hold the TAB key and disappears when you let off of it.

If you check out the program Signs it will let you make a screen like that where you press a key and hold it down and the hud appears and when you let go of the key it disappears.
There are also variations of it.
Like when you let go of the key the hud will be destroyed.
There is also the ability to add a audio or video clip to the sign.
It is a very handy program and I would check it out.
And anybody who knows the least little bit about scripting can substitue other scripts as the main AI script as well.

Hey guys,
Im just wondering,
How would i make it so that the objectives stay on the screen until you press the key again.

So when you press the "F" it stays on the screen, and then when you press it again they dissapear.

Iv been messing with conjureds script but cant get it to work, this is what i have:



Right now it just stays up on the screen forever after I press F once.


Thanks in advance,
-Inverted

The problem is that when you press a key it can signal the scancodes more than once.
So, after we check for a key, we should then check for the release of it (scancodekeypressed=0) before we check for that same key entry again.
Try this ...



Hope this makes sense.

Conjured Entertainment, your script is not workling for me. I think i'm the one doing something wrong. I want to attach this script to a map (in the ww2 entity section). This, in my first level is a primary objective. I acually don't want this to be displayed as an objective screen-script. I've created a map on Photoshop of the area.

In the entity's prefrences:

1= Must I have the entity dynamic or static?
2= Is "Always active" still in affect in the on position?
3= Must I type in something in the "If Used" section?

Thank you. You are a great programmer.

My first game: "Wars of Crime"-5% completed

"


1) Any entity running a script should be set to DYNAMIC (static mode = no)
2) Yes
3) No, not for this script.

Here are step by step instructions using a generic entity like a blood-splat overlay.

1) Save that script as an FPI file in your scriptbank.
2) Place a blood-splat or other invulnerable entity in your map.
3) Set the blood-splat's STATIC MODE to NO
4) Set the blood-splat's ALWAYS ACTIVE to YES
5) Set the blood-splat's AI MAIN to the script

I hope i didn't forget anything, so let me know if it still doesn't work.
Oh, and make sure you have altered the path in state=0 to read for your objective image...
hudimagefine=gamecore/huds/war.dds

Also the path is really in the languagbank/english/gamecore not the other one, so put the image there.
You don't need to include the languagbank/english in the path in the script though.

Hope this helps

why do you have to apply the script to a dynamic entity? why not just implant it into the setuplevel.fpi script? it should make the whole process easier

so what's the job?
