I was hoping to put a script into my game that would display a small meter on the screen tat would slowly drain ovder time. As it got lower and lower, the player would begin to hear random noises and see flashes of thigns on the screen. The player could pick up certain in game items to replenish the bar and stop the sounds and flashes. I can make the hud and flashes in Photoshop and I can record and edit the sounds in Audacity, but I'm not sure about how to script it. I would appreciate any insight any experienced scripters here might have.

Peace Out

You could make multiple huds of the meter displaying different strengths. It would have to be tied to a timer. The script would just have to call the proper hud depending on the state of the timer.

Picking up an item would decrease the timer by x thereby changing the HUD. Seems simple enough. That's if the timer is universal and changing it in one script applies to another.

Best.

I'm sorry, my answers are limited. You must ask the right question.

Yeah thats what I was thinking...but the problem I'm facing is trying to find a way to make random noises sound and random images flash on the screen during the different stages of the bar decreasing. They would get increasingly worse as the bar got lower and lower. Any ideas? Unfortunately I am all thumbs when it comes to scripting.

EDIT: I've decided that if an experienced scripter here wants to script this for me that I'll pay them for the script. Just thought I'd put that out there...

Someone may take you up on that, I don't know. If you want to send me the work you have done and your concept I'll give it a shot. I don't care to charge you and it will be difficult (certainly not impossible) to do it the way you want without your content. If it's a matter of trust then I understand.

Normally I wouldn't bother with this type of request because it's probably something I will never use, but this one sounds interesting.

It's up to you and best of luck with it.

Currently I'm working on the images and sounds. Each flash would probably be about 4" by 4", the smaller ones that is, and the larger ones would be 1024 by 768 pixels, the size of the screen. I'd be deeply indebted to you if you figured this out and would gladly put you in the credits and send you a copy of the completed game.

No problem. Like I said, I like the idea on this one. When you have everything together, just zip and mail it to me with your concept of how it should work and I'll do what I can.

Best.

No problem I should have most of the images and sounds done in a week or so.

My fee is $60 an hour...

::followplr

:activated=0,timergreater=1000:incstate=1,timerstart
:activated=1:incstate=-1,activate=0
:activated=2:incstate=-2,activate=0
:activated=3:incstate=-4,activate=0
:activated=4:incstate=-8,activate=0
:activated=5:incstate=-16,activate=0


:state=0:timerstart

:state=50:sound=blah/blah

:state=100:hudshow=blah blah



box, skull, doesn't matter. No hud, that is for the gui oriented, but would be relativly simple (each state loads a certain hud or moves an existing one).

To increase the value, have the healing object's script be

:plrdistwithin=40:activateifused=(1-5),destroy

Unfortunatly, since I am unaware of any "stateless" commands (empty could easily put that in... if you ask) you will have to have the sound= on every one... and unload the hud on every one lower. I would recommend just asking empty to implement a "stateless" command so (and "stategreater") so it could be done much easier.

If you fear speaking for yourself, make use the words of others while discovering your own voice.

@ Les

Well unless you can script the whole thing in about an hour and it's better than what xplosys is willing to do for free, I'll think I'll pass, but thank you for the offer anyway.

yea, I was going to say, can't you just acivate the sounds to trigger just as easily as the change in the hud?
