Would this work? - RawkBandMan - 05-25-2011

I want to make a Wake Up intro to this map, and the Wake Up I found in the forums is not what I want. I copied and pasted this from the 25_cells_tunnels.hps file, and I wonder if this is what I need to be able to do a Wake Up.

.hps
Spoiler below!

break;
}

if(GetLocalVarInt("BlackoutStep") < 19) AddTimer("blackout", fEventSpeed, "TimerBlackOut");
}


Except maybe edit it to what I need? I also don't want it to play Alexander's voice at the end, so can I just remove that? Please tell me what I can delete, what not to delete, even make edit the script, and make everything I need to change a "ChangeThis" (with quotes, because It will obviously be in the void)

Thanks in Advance.

First of all, you have to start that with a timer:
AddTimer("anything", 0.0f, "TimerBlackOut");

Then you can edit anything between case x: and break;
You can also reduce the amount of cases by just removing them.
using fEventSpeed = x; you can change the speed at which the next case comes.

Okay. I want it to be the exact same speed as it is in the main game, so I wouldn't change the fEventSpeed. Thanks Smile
Also, what would I put in the "anything" slot? Just, anything?

What is the for(int i=1;i<=7;++i)

First the "anything" is just any name you wanna give the timer (any name will do...). You may need it for example when you use: RemoveTimer(string& asName);

The for(int i=1;i<=7;++i) means that it puts 7 lines of those voices after another like this: (it saves space)

Code:
AddEffectVoice("CH03L25_Alexander_01, "", "Voice", "CH03L25_Alexander_01, false, "", 0.0f, 0.0f);
AddEffectVoice("CH03L25_Alexander_02, "", "Voice", "CH03L25_Alexander_02, false, "", 0.0f, 0.0f);
AddEffectVoice("CH03L25_Alexander_03, "", "Voice", "CH03L25_Alexander_03, false, "", 0.0f, 0.0f);... and so on

Where do I put RemoveTimer("BlackOut");?

I know, but I literally suck. I've tried to do this stuff myself and It gave me like a big ass list of errors, that I didn't know how to fix.

I'm even thinking of cancelling my custom stories for 2 reasons.

1. I suck at scripting
2. My PC hates Amnesia and crashes 50% of the time on Start Up.

Why would he have no life for asking for help in a forum?

Why isn't he allowed to ask questions, anyhow? No one is forcing you to read or reply - just move on if you are too lazy to help a fellow man out.

Canceling or not, that is your decision entirely but I suggest you keep working for a little longer - your scripting abilities will never improve if you never practice Smile

Yeah, but Amnesia crashing my PC entirely is a big problem, and it's starting to worry me. I even got a Blue Screen from it this morning. I don't think I will cancel it, but it is a possibility.
