need some help/pointers. - Death Icarus - 01-28-2012

so i made this level, and did some scripting on it.
this is my first attempt, at both making a level, and scripting.

somethings dont work so well, but overall i like what i have so far.
it would be cool if someone can look at my scripting and see what i can do to improve it, making something work better, and some tips.

and im not sure how to attach my level.

To me it looks really great. It's nice to see that, because you're a beginner, you put notes to yourself in the script. Everything looks well organized and spaced correctly. I didn't look much at the actual functions, but drew a question mark when I noticed the values "0.75" and "3.20" for PlayMusic. I've never used values like that before, but if it works, great! :]

thanks for the reply, i appreciate the kind words.

lol, what kind of values do you use, maybe they will work better.

and i have a question, how do start making story stuff.
For example, how can i make notes laying about that say things, or memos pop up and such.


and if anyone can help me with a good intro script.
i want the player to be laying in bed, and woken by a piano.
no story or anything yet, just trying to make a working test level.


RE: need some help/pointers. - JenniferOrange - 01-29-2012

Well I use the values 0.8f and 1.
As far as those things you can search around on the forum or ask people. As far as memos popping up, I was requested to make a tutorial on it which I'll upload in a little bit. You can find it on the wiki.

Get a .zip program like WinRar och 7-Zip, right click the folder of your custom story and select "Add to archive" and click OK. Go to a uploading site of your choice (I recommend MediaFire and DropBox ) and select the .zip / .rar file and upload it and put the link here.
