I have the following script for my soldier model. However when compile the level, he cannot shoot or move or die. He just stand there and doing nothing. Someone help me, is there a problem in my script?

There are quite a few problems with the script that I can see without testing it in game.
First - if you have posted the complete script - you are missing a closing } at the very end of the file.

You've obviously copied the variables at the beginning from an existing script. I would advise to delete those that are not needed. Also check if the initial values for the variables are correct (e.g. the names of the actor's animations - also note that these names are case sensitive!).

If you have problems with a script you should also turn on the console with

Code: Select all

Console(true);

to get information about the executed script in game.

In your Idle[] order you use

Code: Select all

NewOrder("Patrol");

but you have not defined any Patrol[] order in your script.

When using animation names either use the variables from the top of the script (e.g. IDLE) or the name string enclosed by quotation marks (e.g. "idle"). You've mixed this up in several methods.

P.S.: Please use the code tags when posting your scripts on the forum.

Oh, Thanks a lot. I got it. Yet, i have another problem in my game. It is about the armor part. I have the following:

Code: Select all

[power_vest armor]
attribute = health
Bolt = 80 5
Explosion = 50 25
Melee = 75 10
JumpOn = 80 5
50mm_shell = 70 18

(THE ARMOUR.INI FILE)

Code: Select all

[power_vest armor]
initial = 100
low = 0
high = 100

(THE PLAYER.INI FILE)

Code: Select all

[power_vest armor]
catagory = use
image = vest.bmp
imagealpha = a_vest.bmp
text = bullet_proof vest
usedecrease = true

(THE INVENTORY.INI FILE)

HOWEVER, the armor cannot protect me and doesn't receive any damage
