For a custom story to run you need a .hps file with the same name as each map you have for your custom story. Meaning, for example, your map is called "MapName.map", then there will be a file in the same folder called "MapName.hps" that the modder has to make by themselves which then holds all the scripting information about that map.

This is needed for the most simple .hps script file to have the custom story successfully run the map:

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{

}

To unlock a door with a key, you can do this:

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
    AddUseItemCallback("", "Key01", "Door01", "DoorUnlock", true);
}
void DoorUnlock(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
    SetSwingDoorLocked(asEntity, false, true);
    PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door.snt", asEntity, 0, false);
    RemoveItem(asItem);
}

The code above unlocks swing doors (doors that the player can open with his hand). "Key01" is the name of the key that unlocks the door. "Door01" is the name of the door the key unlocks. "DoorUnlock" is the name of the function where once it's called unlocks the door, which is the entity. It plays the sound at the door. And it removes the key that unlocks the door.

Please just copy your script and paste it right here in the reply box.

It's much more easier to look at that doesn't include any sort of download.

Try this:

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
    FadeOut(0);
    FadeIn(20);
    FadeImageTrailTo(2, 2);
    FadeSepiaColorTo(100, 4);
    SetPlayerActive(false);
    FadePlayerRollTo(50, 220, 220);
    FadeRadialBlurTo(0.15, 2);
    SetPlayerCrouching(true);
    AddTimer("", 7, "beginStory");
}
void beginStory(string &in asTimer)
{
    ChangePlayerStateToNormal();
    SetPlayerActive(true);
    FadePlayerRollTo(0, 33, 33);
    FadeRadialBlurTo(0, 1);
    FadeSepiaColorTo(0, 4);
    SetPlayerCrouching(false);
    FadeImageTrailTo(0, 1);
}

Try this:

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
    FadeOut(0);
    FadeIn(20);
    FadeImageTrailTo(2, 2);
    FadeSepiaColorTo(100, 4);
    SetPlayerActive(false);

{
    ChangePlayerStateToNormal();
    SetPlayerActive(true);
    FadePlayerRollTo(0, 33, 33);
    FadeRadialBlurTo(0, 1);
    FadeSepiaColorTo(0, 4);
    SetPlayerCrouching(false);
    FadeImageTrailTo(0, 1);
}

still dosen't work...

[Kyle]

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
    FadeOut(0);
    FadeIn(20);
    FadeImageTrailTo(2, 2);
    FadeSepiaColorTo(100, 4);
    SetPlayerActive(false);
    FadePlayerRollTo(50, 220, 220);
    FadeRadialBlurTo(0.15, 2);
    SetPlayerCrouching(true);
    AddTimer("", 7, "beginStory");
}
void beginStory(string &in asTimer)
{
    ChangePlayerStateToNormal();
    SetPlayerActive(true);
    FadePlayerRollTo(0, 33, 33);
    FadeRadialBlurTo(0, 1);
    FadeSepiaColorTo(0, 4);
    SetPlayerCrouching(false);
    FadeImageTrailTo(0, 1);
}
void OnEnter()
{
}
void OnLeave()
{
}

Maybe now?
