Hi

ok so ive read the 2 manuals, watched the videos and read through alot of the forum, but im still not sure of some things.

I read that the fps engine wont render what it cant see eg around corners and behind closed doors, so does that mean if i make my level dark it wont render what is hidden in the darkness ?

I read a fair bit on head shots and the newest post i found was to put, headshot=1, headshotdamage=x (x being your enemy's health so it kills them instantly) into the enemy's appear script and,:state=0:setalphafade=100,headshot=60 into the enemys main script but it didnt work, i also read that there is a script called appearwithheadshot.fpi and that it comes with fpsc but i dont sem to have it could someone please post the script so i can add it to my script bank.

I downloaded some free models from the store, one of the models is an enemy that comes with custom scripts for attacking but it wont attack me or move at all, any ideas ?

Thanks in advance for any help

Nope.

I'm not at my computer as of this moment. Someone else will have to do that

You may have to look again at the script location it's following. If it's correct, make sure it's in the files/scriptbank folder. If all else fails, you'll either have to apply a different script or check out the original script.

Also... Good job reading the manuals Most newbies don't and end up getting slapped right across the face!

Hey, thanks for the quick reply guys, i have sorted most things out but im still having trouble with the headshots.

I copyed and paste appear2.fpi and renamed it appear3.fpi and replaced the code with the code snippet, saved the new code and made a small room with an enemy and used the appear3.fpi code for the enemies start script but it still didnt work.
I just bought fpsc two days ago along with the model packs that come with it, ive read that some of the older model packs reset fpsc back to an older version of itself, could this be the problem ?

Thanks again

Fenix Mod has an apearwithheadshot script. Once you have Fenix mod installed you right click on the entity and change the appear script to it.

Do you know what version you are using, it should say when you open FPSC?

I'd change the world, but I don't have the source code

Im using version V1

i tried to download fenix mod but after the download finishes it automatically tries to open itself using windows media player, usualy anything i download goes into a folder on my c drive or into my user downloads page as a zip file for me to extract, so not sure what is going on there.

Hey guys this is an edit to this post

I figured out the head shot problem, i bought fpsc a couple of days ago so didnt think i would have to download any upgrades, turns out i did have to, and now everthing works great.

Thanks for all the help

I think you need V115 or above.

It sonds like you have those programs associated with those file types on the video problem... (not sure about the auto zips)

If you right click one of theose files and select "open with" ...
then select "choose default program"...
then have the checkbox ticked for "always use the selected program to open this kind of file."...

Then, you can change that setting for the default association for that file type by selecting the program you want to open those type files.

There is another way to manage them all, but this is a quick and easy way to get started and to fix whatever file type that gives you a problem later.
