This is a "sort of ally" example.
How it works:
Aiko follows the player until the player is seen buy the colonel called "badguy". The colonel sets the global variable 1 to 1, that's a sign for Aiko to shoot at "badguy". So while the colonel attacks you, Aiko attacks the colonel.

I just got a chance to test the save/load level.
Once I quit trying to hard and just did things the easy way it worked like a charm.
Thanks.

@Connor Higgins

please download the zip in the first post, it has a PDF explaining step by step what to do.


@empty

:-o
I know ive already given you a feature request, but i have another one if its ok. :-o

It shouldent be that hard to do, considering you know where the types are for the commands.

if you could incorperate barnskies lua PLUGIN into FPSC, that would be SO AWESOME!!!!!!.

all we would need is like FPSCLOADLUA=X

but, this plugin would especially help out the FPSC community, because his dll allows DBPRO commands to be called in the LUA script.

If you cant, or dont want to, i understand, but if you want to, heres the link to the plugin:

Currently I don't plan to add more features to it. We'll see what happens after the official update.

Could you add a "plrfacing=x" condition; Wherein the statement is ture when the player is facing "X" North,South,East, or West? It would enable use to use HUD level maps and Radar.

I guess we can't ask to much of empty, because he's just given FPS Creator a new lease of life and added save and load. I think he's done a great job, keep up the work and thanks for what you've done so far.

@All
Thanks for the feedback and comments. Much appreciated.

Thanks for understanding. There might be a slight chance that I have time to implement things I wanted to in the first place, but I don't know it yet. So all feature requests have to wait.
And most of all we need to make sure that the current mod is bug free.



@Nue B
Quote: "If you make one for the 3dgm let me know"

That's not possible as the engine isn't open source.

@empty

no problem

i tried to implement a few features into FPSC myself, but i found the code way too confusing for me. plus im one of those guys that compiles after every little change, so that didnt work out to well either. thats why i respect you for what youve done. youve had the patience to implement features, and then release it for free to the community.

you know what, a tutorial on how to add commands into the FPSC source would be greatly appreciated, because i know that the actions and conditions are in casses. Im Not necesarily saying you should do it, i understand your busy, but it would be appreciated if that could happen

Yes, that's certainly a good idea. However, I'll wait with that till some little issues regarding DBPro/FPSC source are solved by Lee (he said they'll be fixed soon) as currently you can't compile anything useful with any DBPro version out of the box.

Whoa, I don't check the fourms, and this happens?!

Looks & sounds like very, very good work Empty, I'm going to test it now.

Lol, same with me, I tried some of the same features empty has (kinda ironic) but couldn't get them to work, and never could find out why. Plus, it took me 2 hours to even try to get it to work, cause it takes so darn long to compile

Again, looks like alot of good work!

Thanks!

In case I find the time to improve it further, there'll be more conditions and actions for teams/allies, and most probably some general enhancements of the script language.

Could you release the source code? There are some personal changes I'd like to make, and other people could also add what they want.

And how did you overcome the new FPSC bugs in version 6.2? The old version of the FPSC code or something else?

Is it possible to disable other keys, like with the arrows? I want to disable the Shift key so the plr can't out run the zombie as much.

And is there a way to use different load screens for each level?

Just select the level, click the edit button at the bottom which is kind of hiden and change your screen image for each level. This is done with the Stock fpsc exe.

When you add levels, click the level, then the edit loading screen button, change the image for that level.

As it appears, I'll have a few hours this weekend, so I'll try to implement the stuff I wanted to anyways, as well as at least some of the requests I found here and in my inbox. Since a better Save & Load solution will be in the next official update, I'll focus on allies/teams and other tidbits. Hopefully it'll be possible for me to transfer those over to any new official updates once they're released.

Just wanted to let you in on some of the things I've been able to do with this new FPSC Modification. I've made a lot of cool scripts, But the two that I'm loving the most are my "keypad.fpi" and my "Objective.fpi" the keypad script unlocks a remote door when the correct code is entered! I love it! and the Objective script displays the level objectives when the letter "O" is pressed.
it also goes away after 5 seconds. Thanks A lot empty! If you'd like to see these scripts in action let me know and I'll email you a demo of my game. "Quarantined" It's a WIP but with your MOD, it's gonna give the Pro's a run for their money!

an idea for the save is that when u save it records the player position, that would be extremely useful in large level games

Saving a players position is easy but the game needs to write the players current position to a file .DAT for example. I have done it before in Dark Basic Professional.

That doesn't help a lot. In order to have a complete and free save system, you'd need to store states, positions etc of all entities. The problem isn't the saving itself, but to find out what variable/arrays/type field is responsible for what.
But since such a save system is planned for one of the next official updates, I don't need to bother about that.

Thats some old code that I dug up ages ago. The player is an object but it could be changed for camera position. I assume the FPSC view is a camera if it isn't well what else could it be. There might be a way to include that in the FPSC source.

It'd be a bit odd to use 6 different files just to save the player's position, don't you think?
But anyway, the problem is that saving the player's position only doesn't help anything (as mentioned in my post above).

well if you'd read you'd see that Empty has also implemented ally support, specific entity targeting, new variables for each entity, annd a whole slew of other useful stuff.

And empty dude, I'm sorry you had an unproductive weekend. I was really excited to see what developments would come out after the weekend, but I guess you know.. you win some you lose some. Keep in touch about updates man. I'm actually not placing enemies in my levels at the moment while I wait and see what delights your gonna whip up in your dark basic kitchen!
