Yeh, I've got issues getting these scripts to work. No matter what I try, they just won't run, well, the HUD one does at least, but only the health bar....

Alright, here's some things I've noticed in your scripts:

1) "inview" requires the entity to be on screen. So if you walk over the entity and it's out of view (below the camera), it won't return TRUE.

2) "setvar=$PH 100" is invalid use of the command. It will look for a variable named "$PH" and won't alter the internal variable. You'll need to use the command "setplrhealth"

Other than that... make sure your variables are declared somewhere. Just check to make sure you're declaring them properly, especially if they're in the setuplevel.fpi script.

If your Healthbar is working properly, that tells me that the commands and everything is working fine so the only other explanation is that it's not recognizing your variables.

I'll look into it. It'll either require a LOT of code or very little. I'll see what I can do, but I added commands to keep you from needing to do that.

Okay, I added it in. In the next download you'll be able to change internal variables with the variable manipulation commands.

The exceptions are $A, $LA, $RA, $CAX, $CAY, $CAZ, $CPX, $CPY, $CPZ, $MMX, and $MMY. There is no need whatsoever to change these variables. You MAY, however, use the "$CAX" and "$CPX" type internal variables with user defined cameras.
Example:
incvar=$CPX_MyCamera 15 (This will be okay)
incvar=$CPX 15 (This will NOT be okay)

If you want to reposition or reangle the player's camera, you will need to use the "cameraposx" and "cameraangx" type commands coupled with "0" for the player camera. I'm sorry, but repositioning the player is rather tedious and doing it in this fashion may cause more harm than good.

@CG:

Looks like your "Zoom" script had a bug in it. Looks like the "SetCamFOV" command wasn't effecting the player's camera.

Try using the AirMod command "CamFOV". The only odd thing about this one is you'll need to constantly set it, otherwise it'll slowly revert back to normal.

!!! PLY'S MOD USER TIP !!!

Requiring the player to look at an object in order to use it

That sure sounds better than just having the player be NEAR an object, right? I mean, how many people open a door that's directly behind them? Or even worse, a door that's not even within the player's reach! (Around the corner comes to mind)

Well, using the "settargetreticle" command, this is possible!


Attach the following script to a triggerzone anywhere in your level:


Now, when you look at ANY dynamic entity and press "USE" (Default is the ENTER key) it will activate that entity with a value of 1.

This may cause some problems if you don't script your entities properly, though. You need to make sure the player is close enough TO activate them. This needs to be done inside the entity's script.

Here's an example of a door that is compatible with this setup:



The same can be done with switches! All you gotta do is make the switch activate it's "IfUsed" target when IT has been activated and the player is close by.


Enjoy!!! And happy scripting!

Problem w/ that Ply is you havent set up a safety measure in case somebody activates it before being within60 units, so you could activate it rom down the hall and then run at it and it would open

Yes, the zoom is because I never set up the "SetCamFOV" to work with camera 0.

Use AirMod's "CamFOV" command for it, just remember to constantly set the FOV if you want it to stay there.

Yes, except that wouldn't change the player's FOV, lol.

The "CamFOV" command ALTERS the camera FOV by X, it doesn't change it to X. So saying "camfov=0" would do nothing. To change the FOV from 75 to 25, you'd have to say "camfov=-50"

(Thanks for reminding me of that, meteorite. )

!!! AIRMOD USER TIP !!!

I say "AirMod User Tip" because Ply's Mod is not really required to do this, lol.

Coffeegrunt's Zoom script made me think of this. (Kudos, CG! )


Binoculars

To make a Binocular weapon (Assuming you have it modelled and the animations set up for it)

Give the weapon a range value of 0, so it cannot harm anything.
Set the "noscorch" property to 1, so it won't make bulletholes on the walls.
Setup the weapon to have a zoom. (Simple Zoom would also work great for this, since then the player would actually hold the binoculars up)

Also, make sure the binoculars don't have a "fire" sound.


And that's all there is to it.

DANG! Ply, I think you should just make a thread dedicated to your awesomeness with scripting and adding Ply's Mod user tips. Maybe post some of your awesome scripts and give us some tips. Still love the Mod, but I would like to see another timer. It can wait until the next release; it's not very important.

Huh??? What do you need "another" timer for? I've given you entity timers! That means that each script has it's own unique timer to use! Couple that with the global timer and I don't see what you would need another one for.

[yes I know there is a page of posts between this but disregard]

Plystire - Interesting way of handling the "looking at objects to activate them". Does it use pick object in DBP? To do this with AirMod I added the command PickObject. So rather than create a trigger zone script, all you have to do is edit the door script so that in the same line as plrdistwithing you also add pickobject=1. Ta da

EDIT: Of course, yours would keep people from activating objects behind another object I presume, whereas mine only calls pick object for the entity in question.

@Dar13:

That does sound like a problem. But that's all logic... you may need to keep track of each individual pieces position and have some sort of controlling script manage them all.


@Airslide:

Yeah, that's why I didn't use "pickobject". The "SetTargetReticle" does use pick object in DBP, but it searches for the closest one in the center of the screen. In the next update, it'll also make sure that you can't target through walls.

Ply, I see you have really been working your tail off since I've been gone. Is Beta 3 (revised) the one I should be working with? I started out using version 1.06 on my new game but am really excited about trying out and using 1.07. Can't wait to try out some of airmod's enhancements as well.

Once I add/edit my command lists for FPI Editpad for this newest version I will have it available for download.

Beta 3 Revised is indeed the latest. I even have the newest download buttons highlighted in Red so people know that they are the downloads of interest.


Lemme know when you get the download ready, I'll advert it in my sig for you.

What do you mean you havent been working your tail off? He said he was using 1.06! Since he's been gone you've added scorch override, cameras, new gunspec and flakspec, airmod, you've been doing quite a lot for us lately, have one on me

@FLATLANDER

It's good to see your return. Glad to see you're still working on FPI EditPad. Make sure to get Airmod stuff in their too, since nearly all mods (if not all) incorporate it.

I'm not going to put the lists in the setup file. Those lists will only be FPSC. I'm going to have the download here for Ply/Air Mod plus FPSC. I should have both ZIP and RAR. All of the command defs will be like the following when you move the mouse over the command:

NEWJUMPHEIGHT=X - Sets the jump height of the player to X units. (Default is 50) (PlyMod)

ALLOWPICKUPWEAPON=X - If X is 1 then player can take weapon from character's hands/body (airmod)

Also, you will need to download an updated exe file since I added two more Condition and Action categories which are hard coded: Camera and Weapons. The Action categories has a third category: Debug. Will probably be available Sunday afternoon, CST.

You would have to script an entire camera system to make it third person, and you would have to find a way for an entiety to use weapons on command and switch weapons. I think coffeegrunt is making a 3rd person system right now. I think it's him at least.

Curious, does the Ply's Mod Commands library also include the AirMod commands? You know, since they co-exist, it would be nice to have them both in there.

It does...

I fixed my zoom by the way ply. I just need to ask, the multipliers for the player and entities, how do they work? E.g., If I were to set the player accuracy one to 1.5, would that increase or decrease his accuracy?

Setting it to 1.5 will give you 1.5% of what it was normally.

PLRSPEED
PLRDMGMULT
ENTITYDMGMULT
PLRACCMULT
