Scripting fatal errors?

[Rapsis]

Uh, I'm not sure how fog is supposed to work. I'm using these parameters:


void OnStart()
{
SetFogActive(true);
SetFogColor(0.03, 0.08, 0.20, 0.01);
SetFogProperties(10, 15, 1, false);
}

But I see no difference in-game. There's not much info on fog in the first place.

I see you did this:

SetFogColor(0.03, 0.08, 0.20, 0.01);

The last color, if I'm not wrong, is the alpha: With this value, is almost unseekable, so try setting it higher (like 0.2, 0.5, 1, etc).

Works like a charm, thanks!

Now I'm trying to make a cinematic sequence where the player starts moving forward automatically. I see that the script is "MovePlayerForward(float afAmount)", but I'm not sure how to make a timer that updates 60 times / second.

Simple:

void OnStart()
{
AddTimer("Move", 0.1 //This might change, depending of the speed//, "Moveyourass");
}

void Moveyourass (string &in asTimer)
{
MovePlayerForward(?);
AddTimer("Move", 0.1 //This might change, depending of the speed//, "Moveyourass");
}

I have practically zero knowledge about these functions, so well, you'll have to play with the values :|

[Rapsis]

Thanks!
Changing the values didn't do much, so I simply changed the player move speed.

Now, I'm trying to make a looping SOUND. I'm using PlaySoundAtEntity, and making "bool abSaveSound" true doesn't make it loop. Should I use a timer or something?

Also:

void OnStart()
{
AddTimer("FadeOutTime", 7.0, "FadeOut_1");
}

void FadeOut_1(string &in asTimer)
{
StartEffectFlash(10, 1.0, 999);
}

Doesn't make it fade out to white

[The chaser]

void StartEffectFlash(float afFadeIn, float afWhite, float afFadeOut);



Fades the screen to white.




afFadeIn - time in seconds until screen is white


afWhite - determines to which percentage the screen fades to white (1.0 = completly white)


afFadeOut - time in seconds until screen is back to normal again

The wiki is your friend!
if 999 is the seconds you have said to fade out, you'll have to wait 15 minutes or so to see it fade out, so, put something a lot lower (5.0, 10, depending on how you want it.

Thanks, but wow, that is kinda silly. It says "afFadeOut" is time in seconds until screen is back to NORMAL again, not full white.

But what about the looping sound? I can't get it to loop.

Open the sound's .snt file with something like Notepad++.

It should look something like this:

Code: (Select All)

<SOUNDENTITY>  <SOUNDS>      <Main>          <Sound File="ambience_cave" />      </Main>  </SOUNDS>  <PROPERTIES Volume="0.3" MinDistance="20" MaxDistance="30" Random="1" Interval="0" FadeEnd="False" FadeStart="False" Stream="True" Loop="True" Use3D="False" Blockable="False" BlockVolumeMul="0.5" Priority="0" /></SOUNDENTITY>

Guess setting which setting to true makes the sound loop.

But I'm using a sound already included in-game, I don't think I should change it.

Well, you could make a copy of the sound file along with its .snt, give them different names, and put it along with your other custom story files. That way you can alter them without any fear of messing with the main game.
