Bibo4PC,

That script is called an 'FPI Script'. Put it in notepad and save it in the folder C:/Program Files/The Game Creators/FPS Creator/Files/scriptbank/

Save it as a .fpi file.

As for applying it, I'm not sure. I think you set that script as the main FPI script for the player start marker entity; either that, or as the triggerzone's main script.

Good luck,

Tom

You need to save this script in the scriptbank folder, and then set this as the main script for a triggerzone. That's what I am doing in my current game, and it does work beautifully.

Wow, no need to have an attitude. Not to mention that you stated:

Excuse me for clarifying seeing as you didn't know.

I would also like to "follow up" on this.


Say you have an objective, Destroy the computer before you win, and find 3 hardrives, how do i make it that when you have done them, you can win the game? And you can't win it without doing them

well u can do it like that, put the computer in a locked area with a door

put each hard drive in a trigger zone, since u can't pick it up just display a message "hardware one found" and name any variable and add value of 1 to it, same for other 3
when the variable reaches 3 the locked door opens, and put the win script in the computer's destroy

am just a beginner n thats how i would do it

Actually, with the hard drives, you can edit them (right click) and set the property IsObjective to Yes. Then the game takes care of whether or not you have them in your inventory to win or not.

Sure can. There is a property in an entity called IsObjective. This property tells the game engine whether or not the item is required to be used/in the player's inventory in order to win the game/level. The default setting for this is No (or 0, if you prefer). Setting this to Yes (or 1) tells the game engine that the player must have this item in order to win the game.

Now, I could be off on this, so if anyone out there sees any errors in my logic here please let me know.

So, that actually works? I never did it, because I tried when i had the free version and it didnt work. Anyway, Thanks, all sorted now

EDIT: What about to destroy an item, because as i see, you have to have the item in your inventory with IsObjective=1, so does it work the same way if it is destroyed, or will i have to make a script for it?
