Well its actually going to be more like an interactive conversation.
I need some help setting it up.
This will be my first cut scene.
(like loosing my innocence all over again

except without the hospital visit... i hope

)

ok.
well. I am going to start with a stationary pawn.
Simple, If you shoot him he dies. if you hit e he starts a conversation.
The camera goes to a certain position (the side) and the players actions are frozen.

the pawn is a security guard with blood running out of his arm. (spray effect)
He is sitting on the ground.
ok keeping it simple.

When you hit e.
Guard; I've been shot, will you help me?
option 1 = no = exits conversation and returns all to normal.

option 2 = yes = -1 medical kit (pawn gets + 50 health)
guard gets up and bleeding stops.
Guard; thanks. I'll follow you now.
Guard; can i have a weapon?

suboption1 = give assault rifle and ammo -1 m16gl -100 5.56
suboption2 = give pistol and ammo -1 baretta -100 9mmauto
suboption3 = give nothing but the best of luck

the sub options can be done a few different ways, i could spawn 1 of 3 pawns with diffrent scripts or it could be part of the same script. either way, im going to need the pawn to follow the player afterwards.
There's a simple script for this somewere.

Can someone walk me through setting this up. i really feel that the game needs ore interaction before i can release a demo. moe so then some of the other things I've been trying to fix latley.

Thanks,
fps

this is the video of what i have so far.
the script is based off of a light like the ones in the other videos, i need to fix the twitching problem first. i don't remember how though. its caused by starting the animation over every seccond, here is the script.

Code: Select all

{
	BOXWIDTH		[30]		// width and depth of bounding box
	HEALTHATTRIBUTE		[health]		// name of health attribute
	HEALTH				[5]	// initial amount of health
	DAMAGEATTRIBUTE		[health]	// attribute damaged by attack in pain

	
savetimer		[-1]
savehealth		[none]

lasthp                  [0]
lastdamage              [0]

	// spawn pawn and do setup work

	Spawn[ ()
	{
		Console(false);
		BoxWidth(BOXWIDTH);			// set bounding box width/depth
		AddAttribute(HEALTHATTRIBUTE,-1000,HEALTH);
		SetAttribute(HEALTHATTRIBUTE,HEALTH);
		LowLevel("idle");
	} ]
        

	idle[ ()
	{
            
                Animate("cower_sitting_floor");
                self.ThinkTime = 0.1;
                check_damage();
		AddExplosion("cleanlight","Bip01 Head",0,10,0);
                return 0;
	} ]	

        check_damage[ ()
	{
        if(GetAttribute(HEALTHATTRIBUTE) < 1)
                {
			self.think = "Die";
			return 0;
                }
        return 0;
	} ]
        

	Die[ ()
	{
            	AnimateHold("crouch_diegutshot");
		PlaySound("pawn/standard/takedamage/chest.wav");
		PlaySound("pawn/teams/blackrock/security/ba_die2.wav");
		AddExplosion("electricalshort","Bip01 Head",0,0,0);
		self.think = "IdleDead";
	} ]

	// idle in place waiting for something to happen

	IdleDead[ ()
	{
                return 0;
	} ]	

}
