Scripting questions - LulleBulle - 10-03-2012
1. How do I force walk someone?
2. How do I make it rain?
3. How do I create dripping water such as from broken pipes, etc?
Answers are appreciated

1. You'll need to use this function for that.
Make sure you use a timer that calls loops itself every 0.05 seconds, at least.
MovePlayerForward(float afAmount)
2 and 3.
You can use particle effects, but question 2 is more complicated than I thought.
You can find more information here:

It is being edited out (I guess, at the time of this post), so extra details about the script functions is not there.

2: In "The attic: chapter three" there was rain. Maybe you could check it.
3: There is an entity (or static_object?) from the sewer that makes that. You could adjust it so it looks ok. But, yes, there is a particle that makes that effect. Try looking at original amnesia maps and find out.
For 1, is the first time I see these. I think Followed by Death had it, but I don't remain.

I'm pretty sure the particle effect for water dripping is "water_drip.ps", but i'm not 100% sure
RE: Scripting questions - GoranGaming - 10-03-2012
There are several particle systems for water drips; ps_water_drop, ps_water_drop_blue, ps_water_drop_single and a few others

The rain particle (ps_water_rain iirc) is a 30x30 box, place it wisely or it will rain indoors.
