You can use
Code:
SetPlayerCrouching(bool abCrouch);To make the player look like he's lying down as you said.
Do you want like a wakeup kinda scenerio?

As a beginner it might take a lot of practise and adjusting to get right, but it isn't too difficult.
You need to make a sequence of events that trigger different movement with the player. First of all, you need to use a bunch of timers. Use AddTimer to add an effect, then place the effect script in the callback for when that timer is called. You can either add all the timers in the same place with slight time differences, or add another timer within the previous timer's callback.
You need to adjust the time to match what you want. Play around with it.
As for the effects themselves, use scripts like these:
PHP Code:
FadePlayerRollTo(float afX, float afSpeedMul, float afMaxSpeed);
PHP Code:
MovePlayerHeadPos(float afX, float afY, float afZ, float afSpeed, float afSlowDownDist);
PHP Code:
StartPlayerLookAt(string& asEntityName, float afSpeedMul, float afMaxSpeed, string& asAtTargetCallback);
There are many others you can use. Test different values in them. You can find more of these scripts under the Player section on the script page: https://wiki.frictionalgames.com/doku.php?id=hpl2/amnesia/script_functions#player

can you give a example? I first time see these scripts...

Example for making player lie on the floor:
Code:
FadePlayerRollTo(50, 220, 220);Usage of LookAt:
Code:
StartPlayerLookAt("PlayerLookAtArea_1", 0.5f, 0.5f, "FunctionName");PlayerLookAtArea_1 - can be named anything, just make sure it matches the name of the area box or entity you want the player to look at.
0.5f and 0.5f - speed of looking at the area box/entity; maximum speed.
FunctionName - you also name this one whatever you want. It's basically the function to call when the player looks at the area box/entity.
I believe it's like this:
Code:
FunctionName()
{
// stuff you want to happen
}And don't forget to use StopPlayerLookAt(); when the player's done looking or else it will make you force look at the area box/entity.

When getting something solved, don't forget to name your thread [SOLVED]"Your thread name" so people don't have to come here since it's already has been solved. okay?
