need some help/pointers.

so i made this level, and did some scripting on it.
this is my first attempt, at both making a level, and scripting.

somethings dont work so well, but overall i like what i have so far.
it would be cool if someone can look at my scripting and see what i can do to improve it, making something work better, and some tips.

and im not sure how to attach my level.

RE: need some help/pointers.

To me it looks really great. It's nice to see that, because you're a beginner, you put notes to yourself in the script. Everything looks well organized and spaced correctly. I didn't look much at the actual functions, but drew a question mark when I noticed the values "0.75" and "3.20" for PlayMusic. I've never used values like that before, but if it works, great! :]

RE: need some help/pointers.

thanks for the reply, i appreciate the kind words.

lol, what kind of values do you use, maybe they will work better.

and i have a question, how do start making story stuff.
For example, how can i make notes laying about that say things, or memos pop up and such.


and if anyone can help me with a good intro script.
i want the player to be laying in bed, and woken by a piano.
no story or anything yet, just trying to make a working test level.

RE: need some help/pointers.

Well I use the values 0.8f and 1.
As far as those things you can search around on the forum or ask people. As far as memos popping up, I was requested to make a tutorial on it which I'll upload in a little bit. You can find it on the wiki.

RE: need some help/pointers.

Get a .zip program like WinRar och 7-Zip, right click the folder of your custom story and select "Add to archive" and click OK. Go to a uploading site of your choice (I recommend MediaFire and DropBox ) and select the .zip / .rar file and upload it and put the link here.
