I try to make my first game, ghost castle game.
There is thread that enemies can be transparent, but I don't know how and what to edit to make characters almost invisible.

Add this to the beginning of their .fpi file (whichever one you are using for the AI Main) in the triggers section.

::setalphafade=50

That would be half, 100 would be invisible... adjust as necessary.

best.

I'm sorry, my answers are limited. You must ask the right question.

Wow thanks xplosys, i think nickydude should add something that tells about that

Everybody loves transparency.

I wander.... is there anyway i could put it at, for example, the start of the shoot script, to make him so he goes invisible when activated?

I really want to learn scripting to use fpsc to it's full potential, so i'm soaking up info like this as much as I can.

Thanks for response, but there is something wrong. It still visible. Here is that code. Does I added that new code right?
BTW, That idea sound great.


;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Header

desc = Follow Waypoints, Crouch If Shot (fear), Resume After 5 seconds

;Triggers

::setalphafade=100
:waypointstate=0:animate=2,waypointstart
:waypointstate=3:animate=2,waypointnext
:waypointstate=4:animate=2,waypointrandom
:waypointstate=5:animate=2,waypointreverse
:nearactivatable=0:settarget,activatetarget=2
:random=20:rotateheadrandom=65
:shotdamage=1:settarget,rotatetotarget,state=10
:noiseheard=5:settarget,rotatetotarget,state=10

:state=10:timerstart,state=11,animate=31
:state=11,timergreater=5000:state=0,animate=2,waypointstart
:state=11,random=5:rotateheadrandom=35

;End of Script

Sorry Xplosys... that doesn't seem to work, when i put it in the main fpi or the shoot fpi.

I put it right after the line Triggers:

::setalphafade=50.

I overwrote the blank line that used to be there.


Any help would be great.

E.D.

P.S. Glad u liked my idea

And another idea...
You see a ghost, and when you get near him he dissapears (intro to game)...

;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Header

desc = when player gets near, entity dissapears

;Triggers

:state=0,plrdistwithin=150:state=1
:state=1:destroy

;End of Script

this was one of my first scripts...

You can actually do a fade out effect, I have got one working where the character fades out after you talk to him by setting up setalphafade into a loop that reduces at 5 per pass. I am trying to figure out how to apply a lightning or lighting effect which will make it cooler. No luck so far
