[SCRIPT] Does anybody know how I'm supposed to do this pls? [SOLVED]

[Radical Batz]

Um what I want is an intro for my custom story to begin with everything black and you can't move

and the intro will be just voices playing with subtitles and when the intro ends I want the player to teleport to the map! easy as that but the problem is....... I don't know how to do that, I'm bad at scripting that's all.

I know scripting but I don't know how to do this intro actually so I've been wondering if you guys might help me a little bit pls

I don't know the code of it and I tried searching on the wiki, tutorials and engine scripts but I have no idea on what the code should be or this type of intro

can you guys help?

and don't be like "we can't do everything for you or sends a link to the wiki or stuff" i already tried!! OK? I just can't find the code for this intro and I think it should be easy for a black screen with just voices and subtitles, by the way the subtitles and voice are ready in the lang file#, all i need ius the script for the intro pls!

but couldn't it be much easier if you know the code and could give me the whole code and then I will fill it up, that all i you could pls

Hmmm... Try making a mock script and look through the engine scripts functions here. What you ask is really rather simple. I guarantee you can get it with a little effort.

Look under the following sections for the code you want

Player
Screen Effects

[Radical Batz]

I can't seem to find it maybe it's

Code: (Select All)

void AddEffectVoice(string& asVoiceFile, string& asEffectFile, string& asTextCat, string& asTextEntry,

to work but in my code I have a void onstart with void wake-up where even if I start the level with the voices and intro then the player will still get up because of the wake up code, is there a way to disable the wake up code in the beginning and then enable it after the intro is finished?

Well, if it's a timer, I used a custom script called ResumeEventTimer.

//Resumes an event timer after a step is over
void ResumeEventTimer(string &in asTimer, float afTime)
{
AddTimer(asTimer, afTime, asTimer);
}

string &in asTimer = name of the timer
float afTime = amount of time before starting the timer again

Example:

ResumeEventTimer("TimerWakeUp", 0.5f);

However, you need something that will stop the timer temporarly.

This is actually very simple. Now, depending on whether you have any distracting elements in the level you want to teleport to, you might not even need to teleport the player because since the screen is black, they won't know they're there. If you do have something that can distract (like torch sound effects or similar), just have the player somewhere quiet and teleport him once it's done.

Firstly, you do something like this:

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
    FadeOut(0);
    AddEffectVoice("voicefile", "", "SubtitleCategory", "SubtitleEntry",
false, "", 0, 5); //Repeat this line for as many voice files you have.
    SetEffectVoiceOverCallback("VoicesDone"); //This enables a callback that happens when the voices are done.
}

void VoicesDone()
{
    wakeup(); //Or whatever event that calls the wake up sequence.
}

I'm kind of getting this error when I sued Mudbill's scripts and made a teleport code

it gets me this error

Code: (Select All)

wakeup()

wakeUp()

You forgot the big U.

[Mudbill]

Yeah, that wakeup(); call is yours, not mine, so I don't know of it. I just remembered you had something like it from another thread. Of course you must make it match yours.

[Radical Batz]

Oh I'm sorry XD I didn't realize that it was was different from the other wakeUp. I should look more carefully. I'm sorry Mudbill, I hope you forgive me XD
