Big Problem: OH PLEASSE HELP ME OH GOD!!! Script Related

None of my scripts ever work. Ever. I've tried atleast 40 of them, and none of them ever worked. I don't see what I could be doing wrong... I follow directions exactly... even when I'm just supposed to copy a script out and paste it in it won't work.

The only possible reason I could come up with as to why they never work is that it's just broken, if that can even happen.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Okay, now just take it easy. First, you got to show us an example of one of the scripts. Second, you need to show us what things that are in your custom story that you want to put into the script.

I'm trying to do a wake up script. I copied it out of another thread: http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-4626.html


This is what my script looks like:

void onStart()
{
void wakeUp();
}
void wakeUp () {
FadeOut(0); // Instantly fades the screen out. (Good for starting the game)
FadeIn(20); // Amount of seconds the fade in takes
FadeImageTrailTo(2, 2);
FadeSepiaColorTo(100, 4);
SetPlayerActive(false);
FadePlayerRollTo(50, 220, 220); // "Tilts" the players head
FadeRadialBlurTo(0.15, 2);
SetPlayerCrouching(true); // Simulates being on the ground
AddTimer("trig1", 11.0f, "beginStory"); // Change '11.0f' to however long you want the 'unconciousness' to last
}

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);
}




I can get into the map, but the script doesnt happen.

You shouldn't write "void wakeUp();" when you execute a function.
Instead write "WakeUp();"
