Hey guys,
I’ve gone through the tutorials, the video tutorials and read pretty much everything I could dig on the FPSC. I’m loving it really and the small single player maps that I’ve made have a bunch of cool triggers, rain effect, moving entities like trains and a bunch of intelligent AI that can talk or shoot you…
However, there’s a few things that I’m confused with and unfortunately, even after searching and reading through the guides countless of times, I can’t seem to understand a few things. So please, can someone give me some pointers on the following. Perhaps it’s silly for you or I missreaded a guide, just direct me the chapter to re-read if I need.
- Where can I find the global script, how does it work? Is that a script that initialize the map? I think the first time it made mention of it is when I was looking on producing some FOG for my levels. I don’t understand that part to be honest.
- From what I understand, you have to build your level in order to test the shaders in their full extent and such. Is that really how we can do it. If yes, cool but then I would like to know… What are the limits of “preview map”. Can someone give me a small example of what can be tested via “preview map” and what should be tested after a complete build.
- Ok so I saw that a script that allows you produce FOG in certain zones… now if I want an overall FOG in the entire level, how should I proceed? Can I see the fog within the map editor?
- HUDs, I haven’t found someone going step by step on how to produce a HUD. Meaning, a new interface for your health and weapons bar. I know how to produce the image but no one really explains how to you can actually implement it. Maybe I need a step by step tutorial for it but right now, It’s really not working for me hehe. Also, is it something that can be previewed within the map editor?
To however takes the time to help me out, thank you. I really do appreciate it. Once I know how to do these things, I'll be jumping inot making a good game... I hope
