Right, I'm now trying my hand at scripting without just copying and pasting other peoples (sinks in better if i have to work harder) but I'm having a bit of trouble (figures )

I want an pic of a note to appear when the player is within a certain distance of an object. Here's the code I have:



But the note isn't showing. Do the files [shownote.fpi, note.tga] have to be in a certain folder? I've created my own folder in Files called 'Mystuff' which holds those two files. I didn't want to scatter my files into different folders if I could help it.

Does the code look right?

Yeah, the code looks good. Try putting the Note.tga in the gamecore\text folder and see if that's it. It doesn't matter where the script is, but I'm not sure about the hud.

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

Hmmm.

I have the script ("shownote.fpi") in "scriptbank\user".
I have the note (note.tga) in "gamecore\texts".
I'm using the washing machine, under 'Modern Day'.
The note is in tga format.
In the washing machines Main AI, I've pointed it to "user\shownote.fpi"

but it's still not showing! [The note is attached, the attachment is in jpg format]

The "note.tga" should be in "FPS Creator\Files\languagebank\english\gamecore\text"

and the "shownote.fpi" should read "hudimagefine=gamecore\text\Note.tga"

Everything else looks good.

Nope, I can't get it to show! I've tried:

gamecore\text\note.tga
languagebank\gamecore\text\note.tga
C:\Program Files\The Game Creators\FPS
Creator\Files\languagebank\english\gamecore\text\note.tga

and the note.tga is in the gamecore\text folder.

Good, but did you reflect that change in the fpi script?

Would it be possible for you to have a try? using the same as I have? Then I can know for sure whether it's something I have / haven't done.

Used it on an entity and a zone (changed the hud, but that's all) and it worked fine.

You do know that the entity has to be dynamic.... don't you?

Dynamic, err, ahh, you could possibly be right there, so static, as I was using, doesn't work then, ahh, erm... That worked, thanks xplosys.
