I'm trying to make a script that so when you press the "Tab" button, a screen comes up showing the players objectives. And once you've completed an objective, that objective checks off.

(As in a new screen comes up when you have completed an objective(s)).

Here's the script so far.



That was what I have so far. Can anyone tell me if I'm doing something wrong? Ohhh, where do I save the finished script to?

I also have some questions.

1= What's an entity timer?
2= What's the difference between a hud and an image?
3= In the 7th line of code when it says "cantake:plrdistwithin=1", does 1 equal true?
4= On what line on the coordinate plane would be line z? (All I know of is x & y)

As time rolls on I'll have more questions.

Any help would be apprecated!!

Thanks

Don't answer #3, I figured it out.

To your questions:

1= No. I'm not finished altering the script. (Don't worry, Silent Thunder. I'll mention you in the credits of my game.)
2= I can't help you. What's a tileset?

Ohhh, Jenkins and Silent Thunder, none of you have answered my questions!

(Silent Thunder, thanks for the working script.)

1: Entity timers are only available in Empty's Mod. (see showcase). Using the global timer to time an event can cause bugs, so Empty introduced a feature that let every entity have it's own timer.
If you don't have the mod, then this script wont funtion propperly, as it will permanently get stuck at state=3.

2. Uh, a HUD is a heads up display. and an image is an image. A hud is just an image displayed on the screen in a manner similar to your health, or the crosshair.

3. z is depth.
x = width
y = Height
z = depth

G4fan- I would help you but I am CRAP when it comes to scripting. Sorry!

I started around when you did so I'm probably at your level when it comes to scripting

Ya you have to respect the forum and you should most deffinitly respond in a nice way to all helping posts especially to butterfingers an expert at FPSC scripting.

If you want to get answers you have to respect the other forum members.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I'm am very sorry if I offended you, Butter Fingers.

I just wanted more than one answer so, if one didn't work...I'd have another.

I know, I realize now I should have said so.

I had no idea I was being so mean. I am truly sorry if I offended Butters or anyone in this way. No hurt intended.

My first game: "Wars of Crime"-35% completed
