Bunch of Q's, PLEASE HELP
« on: 08 Jul 2003, 05:45:43 »
Hey

Just got a bunch of Q's that are concerning my cut-scene that are really starting to piss me off. (I have 1.91)

1-  5 fadesound 0 should make the sound fade to nothing in 5 sexonds right? Well, when I do that, it does that, in about .1 sexonds...WTF ?! (I've also tried it the other way round)

2-   Got me a prob with the bino vision, I put this in:
       cutrsc ["binocular","BLACK IN",0]   but it fades in with the bino vision, then fades out, then fades in again without the bino vision...WTF !?

3-   How do I shove a custom face onto someone?   (this setface "Face.jpg" ?)

4-    Using cool edit, I add in custom music & Sounds, but when I go to call them up using:   playSound "Soundname"   or   playmusic ["musicname",0] , it comes up saying   Cannot find 'Musicname' ...WTF !?

5- I'm looking for a really good scripter, prefebly in Playmoves etc ;)  (Not relaly a vacency, just to get to know ;) )

6-   Forgot ;)

7-   Just saw this, tank = "M1Abrams" CreateVehicle [9777,4080,0]
Presuming this worked (Haven't tried it out yet) , where it says:   [9777,4080,0] , does that man I can put:    [GameLogic1]  ? (Gamelogic being the name of the gamelogic)

If this works, is there a list of unitnames I could put in ? Such as a plane flying up in the air ?

Where it says Tank, is that the name of the tank ?


Cheers guys

O'Neil

PS: Just put the number then the answer to the question number ;) Thxs

Well, I can answer number 7 for you anyway.
This works just like setpos.
You can either use the numbers, or this.

tank = "M1Abrams" CreateVehicle [getpos Gamelogic select 0, getpos gamelogic select 1, 0]

I'm pretty sure tank means the name of the unit you create.

And you can create other units my putting there name in where the "M1Abram" is.

It will be created wherever the thing called gamlogic is.

You know how you setpos a units, or chair or something like that in a building.

This setpos[getpos this select 0, getpos this select 1, 0]

Well, 'this' is the name of where you want it at.
Just create a gamelogic, call it want you want, and place it in where this would be.

tank = "M1Abrams" CreateVehicle [getpos Gamelogicname select 0, getpos gamelogicname select 1, 0]

Hey

Just got a bunch of Q's


1.)
"5 fadesound 0" should make the sound fade... when I do that, it does that, in about .1 sexonds...WTF ?!

2.)  
Got me a prob with the bino vision...WTF !?

3.)  
How do I shove a custom face onto someone?

4.)  
Using cool edit, I add in custom music & Sounds...WTF !?

5.)
'm looking for a really good scripter...


Cheers guys

O'Neil



========================================

:hmm: Right.... that's a hole lotta Q's there, matey!  ::) ;)

         hmm, let's see...


1.)
 The game engine doest like real-world clockworks, so I'd suggest using some 25 fadesound 0.0
And then:  30 fadeSound 1.0  :-* That should solve the fading prob.

PS. You could also choose to fade the sound a BIT (like 0.3), and then totally out after some 5 seconds.  :)




2.)
Wanna use binocs in a cutScene, oy?! :thumbsup: well, do it like this...in an external script.sqs :

-----------------------------------------------------------
#BinoPlayer
~1
Player SwitchMove "CombatRunFToLying"
~1.5
Player SelectWeapon "Binocular"
-----------------------------------------------------------

Save the script as "BinoPlayer.sqs" and put
it in the SAME folder as your mission, and
then in the player's INIT field, put:

[ ] exec "BinoPlayer.sqs"

================================




          AI USING BINOCS :


Command to make AI use Binoc:  Guy PlayMove "StandToBinocStand"

put it in a script like this:


----------------------------------
#BinocScript
? pocketBinocs : goto "end"
~0.005
Guy Playmove "LyingToBinocLying"                 (or StandToBinocStand)
goto "BinocScript"

#end
~0.005
Guy SetBehaviour "AWARE"
EXIT
----------------------------------


And then in a Timed trigger's "on Activation" field, put:

pocketBinocs=true

(he will then return to normal stance)


And if you wanna make him LYING DOWN BINOCING,
simply change the script command "StandToBinocStand" to:

"LyingToBinocLying"  8)


So much for the external glitter...
 :D Yeah, and to see it "for real" (in the the camera view), do...

===================

*woops* the doorbell is ringing, and its 2 AM in my home!  ??? ::)

Hold on, I'll extnd the rep. when I've found out wtf is going on around here...  :P ;D


[edit]:
 ::) aah, 'twas nothing... just some local biker friends looking for a party (why my house  ??? ;D )

====================================


Any'ho - check this out, matey:

cutrsc ["binocular","plain",10]
~10
CutRSC ["Default","Plain",0]
exit


And then try another scroll, using the line:

titlecut ["", "black in", 12]

and fire the scrolls at the same time... dunno it might work, m8  :-\ ;)

=========================================================


3.)  
Custom Faces.... well you have it right:


Bob setFace "MyFace.jpg"

jus remember to put the "face.jpg" inage in the correct mission-folder  :o :)



4.)

Screw cool edit, do it the tuff way, like the rest of us do!  8) check out the "sound & cutScenes" board.  :-*

its about writing a very simple "Description.ext" file.... pretty much like a script. neah biggy!


5.)
Well, thats why we have the "Intelligence Depot", right HERE :thumbsup:  ;)
