Hello,

I have come across a scenario that I would require some advice about if at all possible please.

I want the music to change once I pickup a certain entity.

I am imagining I could just add 'soundloop=$0' to the weapons pickup fpi, and place my music in the weapons properties in the editor. However, this feels like a roundabout way of doing it.

Does anyone know of a different method?

You could use variables too. Setup a global var in the setup script "itempickedup" and then set it to 0. In your soundzone script you could just check if itempickedup is 0, if it is, play sound 0, if it's not 0, play sound 1. (Hoping that makes sense).

Something like this for your soundzone:


and add this to your setuplevel.fpi

@Budo

I will try this once i get home. Just on my lunch at work at the moment.

Thanks for this man. Great help. I have updated some more pics in my WIP thread, but, i will warn you.........there are no Dinosaurs there.......sorry man.

They were all killed by the bad guys!

EDIT: Just thought, i am using Music Zones. Which means, you just have to pass through it once and then you can be anywhere in the level, and the sound will still loop. Will it be the same scenario for the afore mentioned zone? I assume it will be.

No, it will start automatically, so just change:
":state=0,globalvarequal=itempickedup 0"
to
":state=0,globalvarequal=itempickedup 0,plrwithinzone=1"

I take it by this you mean; put this in your setuplevel.fpi

Sorry, my scripting is not at any particularly good level! This is the area i lack knowledge in! I am trying to learn.

Thanks for your help again Budo

Just throw "setglobalvar=itempickedup 1" into your item's main pickup script.

Yes.

Budo, quick question. I need a script to adjust the huds when my player loses health. I also need this script to loop sounds as the health becomes lower. I could probably script it myself over time, but, as you know I am on a deadline. So, I am throwing some business to our fellow developers, Ched and 2Beastmode. They run a site that lets you request any script for a fee. Very fair prices in my opinion, plus, I always like helping out fellow developers.

My question is this.

For the afore mentioned script, that will go in the setuplevel.fpi, is it the same commands and actions in x9 as it is in x10? Ched is experienced with x9 scripts only. He fears he may not be able to complete my script if the commands are different.

Thanks for reading.

Unfamillia.

Most of the commands should be the same (though, I honestly don't know X9 commands, I haven't used it for long before the recent larger updates). If any commands do differ, but still exist, it should be easy to convert them.

Thanks Budo,

I will let Ched know. I will be building the game this weekend and i will email a copy over to you, for you to take a look.

I will also send a copy over to StoryTeller for his honest feedback.

I am working on a trailer currently. Should have that finished after the weekend. I will probably use it as the intro video for the game.
