Sorry I keep asking so many questions but I have this problem. On HL:Uplink there was a part where you found a dying sci who said:
"Well I seem to be seriously wounded" before he died. I have tried to put a wounded sci in my map, and tried to make him say some sentence before his death. For some reason though he can only seem to say "Fire the rocket engines, destroy the damn thing before it grows any larger"Does anyone know anyway to override this and play a different sentence? I am using a scripted_sequence.

you need to edit the sentences.txt - its in the valve/sound folder

find the line with the name of the wav that the scientist is supposed to say, it will look some thing like:

// SCIENTIST

SC_OK0 scientist/excellentteam
SC_OK1 scientist/fellowscientist

now, find this line :
SC_ROCKET scientist/c1a4_sci_rocket

you can change c1a4_sci_rocket to iwounded2 or iwoundedbad*

*that name is the wav name with out the .wav

alternatively, you can add a new line to sentences.txt, like so:

SC_WOUNDEDBAD scientist/iwoundedbad

make sure its in somewhere with the other SC_whatever entries
and also be sure to distribute the modified sentences.txt

have i mentioned everything? oh, in the scripted sequence properties make sure you have a ! before the sentence name

I changed the sentences file and changed the c1a4_sci_rocket to iwounded2-but he still says the old sentence . What do you mean by "in the scripted_sequence properties have a ! before the sentence name?", I can't find a sentence name box at all-do you mean a scripted_sentence? Thanks

Yes, the "sentence name" in scripted_sentence properties. Make sure the new sentences.txt is in Half-Lifevalvesound.
