Scripting questions

[LulleBulle]

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.

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

There are several particle systems for water drips; ps_water_drop, ps_water_drop_blue, ps_water_drop_single and a few others

Yea I saw on the script page that you had to put it on loop so I kinda asked the wrong question, what I really need to know is how to put it in loop, sorry about that.

Was looking at Tanshaydar's White Night, couldn't find how he made it.

Thanks, will be sure to check those out!

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

Isn't it shrinkable?
