Hey I had a quick question about FPSC. I just bought it, but I'm not installing it until I get my computer in christmas. So I thought while I'm waiting, I would start brainstorming ideas and elaborating ob them so that when I get my computer, I can start making the game(s). What I want to know is if something like what I have envisioned so far would be possible to do. I'm not asking for the coding or anuthing, just if I can do what I plan before I get to far with the writing aspect.


** = actions player see's

*you are strapped to a chair, low dim red back-up light as only lighting source in room. You can look around and see a high tech room,with papers scattered across desk. After 10 seconds a person opens the door to your room*
Person:"oh thank God! You're still alive!""Quickly! We must leave!"
you:"who are you? What's going on here?"
*person goes to chair, undoing restraints*
Person:"No time to explain, but we must hurry."
*person grabs ur wrist, leading you to door*
Person:"wait here"
*person leaves, 4 seconds later you hear a gunshot, military soldier enters doorway*
Soldier:"who are you, what are you doing here?"
You:"I'm (insert name here), I was brought here for an experiment."
*soldier points gun at you*
Soldier:"where you injected?"
You:"no, why?"
*soldier lowers weapon*
Soldier:"good, come with me."

Umm... this will take a lot of custom animations but still possible, the *point gun at player* bit is possible without any custom animations though. With 1.19 the player can be forced to do a lot of things since wasp mod integration

I appear to have burst into flames...

Nope :-\. I've never really done any programming before. I've worked a little with DBP but that's it.

Alright, I'm an old FPSC fossil knowing a lot of tricks and tweaks, but I'm giving it to you straight, if you are inspired by Battelfield, Call of Duty or the likes...get your inspiration elsewhere. FPSC is for much smaller projects and not war epos. Think Penumbra, not skyrim (not sure if this figure of speech actually makes sence)

Ha! No

You can do some things with a little scripting and others with a lot of scripting but most of them not in a believable way.

A cutscene would be the way to go here

You can however have a character enter a room, get behind the player (out of camera) and you can pretend having him cut you loose with a sound, but that taking you by the wrist part is not really realisable.

Errant AI's task force soldiers have the right animations for this entire "point gun at you" and "lower weapon" thing. However, to make it believable you do need a lot of know how.

I also read this entire "experiment" and "injected" thing as a zombie game, right? Don't do one of these, we get flooded by them.

If you get your new system all set up, start with a small project that will teach you how to map and please ask questions on the forums

Best are threads that have multiple questions at once

FPSC might seem rather dull on first impression, but its not.

ok, quick question, extremely retarded but bare with me . i just went and downloaded the free version of FPSC, and im having a "slight" issue with it :\. i'll make a starting room, have some corridors to run around in leading to a second room. but i can't open the door from the outside, and when i try to place my own doors, i cant get it in the right places, its always either outside the corridor in the middle of nowhere, or completely off the walls in general. any help?

Are you using a door segment or entity? It needs to be a segment.
