Creating events at start of Custom Story - Hailfiretank - 03-16-2013

Me again...

Basically, when my custom story starts:
I would like it to fade in, with the player forced to crouch (as if they are lying down), and looking at a script area called 'Roof_look'. Next, I would like them to wait 4 seconds and then look at an area called 'Chair_look', wait another 4 seconds and then look at an area called 'Room_look' (at which point, I will enable control, standing and not looking at the last area).

Anyone know how to make these events happen at the start of the custom story?

I know the scripts to make the player look at areas, to force them to crouch and timers; however, I do not know how to connect it all together.

Thanks for any help! Smile

Did you even read what event that he wanted? That is NOT the right one. Don't worry, once i make the script, i will edit this post!
PHP Code:
void OnStart()
{
    AddEntityCollideCallback("Player" , "StartArea" , "FUNCTION" , true , 1);
}

void FUNCTION(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{   
        FadeIn(10);
        SetPlayerCrouching(true);
        StartPlayerLookAt("Roof_look", 6, 6, "");
        AddTimer("", 4.0f, "TimerLook");
}

void TimerLook(string &in asTimer)
{    
    StopPlayerLookAt();
    StartPlayerLookAt("Chair_look", 6, 6, "");
        AddTimer("", 4.0f, "TimerLookArea");
}

void TimerLookArea(string &in asTimer)
{    
    StopPlayerLookAt();
    StartPlayerLookAt("Room_look", 6, 6, "");
} 
Make a script area named StartArea at the player start position.
