How to end custom story as a Demo?

**Zypherzemus** · 07-11-2011, 05:09 AM

Ok.. Is there a way to end a custom story by going through a level door?
Ex: You have a key to a level door, you unlock it, you click to enter it, then the end credits load, is it possible? I have a feeling it might be.

**GraphicsKid** · 07-11-2011, 05:38 AM

Just make it go to a level that consists of nothing but the credits.

**Zypherzemus** · 07-11-2011, 06:35 AM

Hmm.. That could work Tongue

hmm... FATAL ERROR
No matching signature

Code: (Select All)

/////////////////////////////

// Run first time starting map

void OnStart()

{

StartCredits("01_amb_darkness.ogg", false, "MainCredits", 1);

}





////////////////////////////

// Run when entering map

void OnEnter()

{



}





////////////////////////////

// Run when leaving map

void OnLeave()

{



}

Well? Everything matches up right in the .lang file.

and let's just say I was using my own music, I would need to make a music folder and put the .ogg in there right?

**triadtimes** · 07-11-2011, 04:48 PM

The Start Credits line is:

Code: (Select All)

StartCredits(string& asMusic, bool abLoopMusic, string& asTextCat, string& asTextEntry, int alEndNum);

You're missing either the text category or the entry.

**Zypherzemus** · 07-11-2011, 07:05 PM

I fixed that and the map loads, but the credits themselves won't start, the music play though.

**triadtimes** · 07-11-2011, 07:25 PM

Is the screen black when the music plays? If so then the credits are working fine but there may be something wrong with your .lang file.

**Zypherzemus** · 07-11-2011, 07:32 PM

Nope, the map itself actually loads. I had to put a floor so I wouldn't die when I spawn.

You (A Private Detective) have been assigned to investigate disappearances, as well as "Demonic" sightings and possible Murders, of students at a nearby University, outside of Brandenburg.



Reports state that the last known Dean to have worked there, before this chaos started, was named Isaac Lloyd. Earlier reports state that Lloyd was involved in the "Alchemy Conspiracy" along with the notorious mastermind himself, Alexander.[br] 



Your job: Find out what caused this mess, and stop it if possible.</Entry>

If I had my way and I became the Dean, this University would have been moved, building a school over an old experimentation lab? Not such a good idea. It's not my choice though, I'll just do what Dr. Lloyd says for now, it's all I can do.</Entry>

????? I really need help with this guys D:

**Janni1234** · 07-13-2011, 09:26 PM

Or try :
void OnStart()
{
AddTimer("Timer", 1.0f, "end");
}

void end(string &in asTimer)
{
FadeOut(2);
AddTimer("Timer", 1.0f, "message");
}

void message(string &in asTimer)
{
SetMessage("message", "message1", 3.0f);
AddTimer("Timer", 3.5f, "menu");
}

void menu(string &in asTimer)
{
ChangeMap("menu_bg.map", "CameraPos", "", "");
}

Try that.If it not works...im sorry.

**xtron** · 07-14-2011, 03:11 AM

Make a script area where you want the player to stop playing your map
and use this code

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()

{

AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "script_credits", "func_credits", true, 1);

}



void func_credits(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)

{

StartCredits("01_amb_darkness.ogg", false, "MainCredits", 1);

}

change script_credits to the name of the area you're gonna create.
