Well you would just have to tweak and test and tweak these:
MovePlayerHeadPos(float afX, float afY, float afZ, float afSpeed, float afSlowDownDist);
if you want your head close to the ground change float afY to -1 or something.

then there is this what youre mainly after I guess:
FadePlayerRollTo(float afX, float afSpeedMul, float afMaxSpeed);
change float afX to -45 or 45 and your view is turned 45 degrees

I'm sorry. I haven't got around to trying this again.

Turns out, he script I had before was what I needed. I just didn't have it set for long enough. I will make it longer and try again.

I'm back people! I need help with scripting for using a Crowbar on a door.


Thanks!

Why a crowbar? Not to sound rude or anything, but some people are getting sick of seeing the crowbar script in a lot of custom stories. :/

But everything else is boring, and I like the crowbar particles when you break open a door :3

Everything else isn't boring. I can think up 10 unique ideas right now that have never been used in a custom story yet and have the potential to become something enjoyable.

Hm... I just got a great idea xD It may take a lot of scripting, but it sounds cool.

Using a bomb to blow up the door.

Can I get some scripting for it to explode, for it to "blow up" the door, and yeah. For blowing it up, I think I would know how to script it.

I would
Spoiler below!
just deactivate the door that you blow up right when the explosion goes off, and activate a different door that would be like broken and laying on the floor in the room, on its side, and yeah.

I want this. Help me please <Smile?

I would also need to know how I would make the bomb? (Like the Storage, its in a glass jar, but I would need like certain things to make it, like (for instance) acid, blood, and poison.)

I also need help with a key script. I'm pretty sure I have done everything right, but it's not working. It says (when I use the key on the door) that Cannot Use Item This Way, and the name and the description are both blank.

RE: extra_english now is working, but I need help with a different script :) - Kyle - 07-20-2011

Did you even try this before?

It's simple, yet time consuming.

As I take from the script functions page:

void SetPropHealth(string& asName, float afHealth);
void AddPropHealth(string& asName, float afHealth);
float GetPropHealth(string& asName);

Modifies/returns the health of a prop.

This can be used on the door. Simply add a prop health of a negative value and then it gets damaged. Or you could replace doors and use this:

StartEffectFlash(1, 1, 2);

Which you could change the numbers a bit by using the script functions page.

No I have not. So I could have just an explosion, and then have it for when it explodes, put the health -1, so then it would get destroyed?


But how would I make the explosion? I would know how I would make the bomb itself with the mixture, but I don't know of a explosion particle. Is there one?


Sorry If I am annoying you guys to hell Sad

RE: extra_english now is working, but I need help with a different script :) - Kyle - 07-20-2011

Actually, as I last remember, doors have the health of 100. So -100 would work. The explosion particle is not exactly needed when you have a StartEffectFlash, but it is possible to test it in the level editor by placing a particle system in there.

The script function page is your friend. Smile

Okay, so that function fades the screen to white. Is there an explosion sound I could play when it fades to white?

EDIT: Never Mind found one! Now I just need to script it and check it.

What would I place the volume for it?


But I still havent figured out my key problem!


I'm pretty sure I have done everything right, but it's not working. It says (when I use the key on the door) that Cannot Use Item This Way, and the name and the description are both blank.
