What do you need help with

RE: Scripting help - GreyFox - 12-04-2011

I Suggest you Watch/Read Some tutorials on youtube or on the Wiki and go to this site

http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/amnesia/script_functions

And Atleast Attempt Scripting, And if you need help with it you make a thread asking, "What am I doing wrong?"/ "Whats wrong with my script"

We'll be glad to help but how are you going to learn if you never try.

good for you for watching tutorials all day.

As for what you need help with ask.

I'm fine with getting you started (starting is always the hardest)
Once you get used to it, it'll be alot easier and quicker.

what i find most confusing about scripting is what things mean. like, do i place something in the () with ''void OnStart ()'' and so on. i get easily confused with complicated stuff, but when i learn it i really learn it ^^, could you maybe help me get started or something? a tutorial on youtube perhaps?

cheers ^^

i want this story of mine scripted n such. nothing complex, just playing different sounds when walking to places n stuff like that. i also need help with scripting an audio file to be played throughout maps ^^. ALSO im making a new mob (nothing complex), just this ghastly empty soulless creature that haunts a forest outside your home in the story ^^.

Quote:void OnStart
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("ScriptArea_1", "Player", "Scare1", false, 1)
}

void Scare1(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "sound.snt", "Player", 0, false);
}
You would use that to make a noise play somewhere.

You would need a global.hps file to have a sound playing through out different maps.

You have to convert them to a .ogg fiel, than you have to make another file with the same name but with a .snt file extension. And put this in the .snt file


Quote:</properties>

To play music:

Quote:PlayMusic(string& asMusicFile, bool abLoop, float afVolume, float afFadeTime, int alPrio, bool abResume);


Plays music.
asMusicFile - the music to play + extension .ogg
abLoop - determines whether a music track should loop
afVolume - volume of the music
afFadeTime - time in seconds until music reaches full volume
alPrio - priority of the music. Note that only the music with the highest priority can be heard! 0 - highest, 1 - lower, etc
