In my test game I have scripts that show images as to what key is needed for each locked door, and when the key is picked up it shows the image of the key you received. I have a couple of questions to mkae thi smore dynamic:

1) Can I assign a script or alter the existing script that plays a "key unlocking the door" sound prior to the actual door opening sound? Can you have a "wrong key" sound play if the player doesn't have the correct key?

2) Can you have the message only appear once and not again after the correct key is found and the door has been opened? Basically turning it into a "dooruse" door.
I assume this would require an if-then structured script. Which by looking at some of the default scripts, this looks to be done in FPSC with "state" and "frame" commands.

I wanted to see if anyone else had tried any of the above and had a strightforward way of getting it into the their game, before I started the trial and error, mostly error, process

Thank you in advance for any help

I find that trial and error is usually the best way to learn things. (As long as you use copies of scripts to do this with ) It's basically how I learned the scripts.

Some pointers would be:

sound={your unlocking sound} to play the relevent sound.
timerstart to reset the timer
timergreater={1/1000th seconds, e.g. 1000 = 1 second}

Work out the time it takes for the unlock sound to play (for example 1.2 seconds) and do something like:

:state=0,{conditions}:sound=audiobank\user\myunlocksound.wav,timerstart,state=1
:state=1,timergreater=1200:state=2

state=2 is the normal unlocking routines and sounds.

As to the seconds, combine the door unlocking scripts and the door use scripts. Use original door unlock script, when the door us opened, the state changes to a higher number where you put the door use script in.

Hope that makes sense.

Thank you for the advice. I like to get as many ideas before I start messing with the scripts, so this will help out a lot

Thanks again

how did you display more than one image? I can only display one. No matter how I change the script or delete the DDS file. They are always the same image.
