Do you know the feeling

Do you know the feeling?

When you think you have come up with a brilliant idea?
When you think that you for once will be original?
And then you discover its already done before!

I though i would make a pretty short custom story based on SAW. I would let the player wake up and find a note (instead of a recorder) and it should say that he had 5 minutes to escape. After 5 min. a monster should destroy the door and kill the player.

The player then had to search for a key and escape. When he picked up the note the SAW themesong should start.

Then i find this

Sorry for making a pointless thread, i just had to tell someone.

except for one thing....that video, and the map on it, were made for aesthetic purposes, and your idea for an actual STORY are still completely free, the guy who made that map hasn't (to my knowledge) followed it through, so hurry up, stop complaining, and make a damned good map =)

Well, thanks for your encouragement . I will at least try and make Something. Not sure if its gonna be SAW inspired.

As you see in the comment section some guy named "ISayonl" is making a story to it. The comment was written a month ago so i cant be sure if he's still working on it, or if he dropped the project.

Well tell ya what, if you try to make the map you were planning to, i will give you all the help on scripting i can =)

[Sennep]

Woah, thanks!

I really haven't ever tried scripting (only copied a few sentences from the internet to the script) so i will be very glad to accept your help .

I don't need any help at this moment, though.

Awesome =) Well as soon as you do, you know i will help =)

I could actually need some help now. I want the player to wake up from a bed in the beginning of the custom story. First he should lie sideways and then he should get up.

Is that something you can help me with? I have no idea how hard it is to make.

[Simpanra]

yeah, here use this,

Code: (Select All)

void beginStory(string &in asTimer)
{
ChangePlayerStateToNormal();
SetPlayerActive(true);
FadePlayerRollTo(0, 33, 33); // Change all settings to defaults
FadeRadialBlurTo(0.0, 1);
FadeSepiaColorTo(0, 4);
SetPlayerCrouching(false);
FadeImageTrailTo(0,1);
}

void OnEnter()
{
FadeOut(0); // Instantly fades the screen out. (Good for starting the game)
FadeIn(5); // Amount of seconds the fade in takes
FadeImageTrailTo(2, 2);
FadeSepiaColorTo(100, 4);
SetPlayerActive(false);
FadePlayerRollTo(-90, 300, 300); // "Tilts" the players head
FadeRadialBlurTo(0.15, 2);
SetPlayerCrouching(true); // Simulates being on the ground
AddTimer("trig1", 11.0f, "beginStory");

Put it in your void OnStart()

and then put the second bit (starting with void OnEnter) in your voidOnEnter =)

Hope this helps

Thank you for the help!

I am experiencing some problems with the script though.

Should i place the Void OnEnter under the other Void OnEnter so there will be 2 Void OnEnters?

I am probably making some dumb mistake though.

Ah sorry, no, place everything underneath the void on enter that i sent, in your void on enter EXCEPT the void on enter =) So you only have one void on enter =)
