Ahh... Amstrad and Spectrum... Boolean system... If, then, else, or... Logic operators... These were good times (sorry for this little spam but I feel nostalgic).
Investigating on Anthony?s post I found out something interesting... Aren?t you tired of the scientist?s cheesy talk?, haven?t you ever wished they could stay silent instead randomly saying "Who is responsible of this!!!"?... Well, this is made with the "Gag" flag but then the scientist won?t talk at all. Imagine you?re mapping something and need a scientist to talk JUST what you want him to talk with a Scripted_sentence... With Gag he won?t and without he may spawn some random stuff...
Seems quite difficult to solve and I found a way of radically prescinding of these phrases... Just locate them in the sentences.txt file and then put a // in front of them or replace their sound with an empty sound (just create one with the windows recorder or record some silence). They won?t say anything except of what you want.
And maybe I?m just telling stupid things and there is an easier and healthier way to make this (well, modifying sentences.txt implies distributing it with the map and therefore making a mod). Does anybody know something?. I need it although this method is working for now
(actually there?s only one scientist in the map and he only says what I want so there?s no possibility I want random phrases).

Also with those monsters sitting there, the monstermaker doesn't work. Help. My scientists look like retards

All right, map posted to the Example Vault... Check it out. With this the scientist will say something when you pick up the gun and another when the computer is broken.
The map quality is poor but I spawned it in a minute :P. Ah, don?t forget to blow his head up!.
PS: The scientist will, as all scientists, say stupid things randomly. You can turn this off turning the "Gag" flag on, but then they won?t react to scripted sentences. It?s really annoying, but it works this way. I wonder if I could delete the stupid things they say from "Sentences.txt"...

Hey Andy, read the "speech for scientists and barney' forum. There's another problem on there (I put it in the wrong one). Thanks for your help in the explosion thing. The dancing scientist thing is because of the fact that they can see the monsters. By making the monsters 'prisoners' they dont do that, but when the explosion goes off the monsters just sit there.
OK the maps on now...download it and check it out. Also any suggestions for how to 'spice it up' gladly appreciated...

Yeah send it
I now have another problem (suprise suprise). I set up the map i posted plus its continuation. I linked them with the changelevel thing. It works but this is what happens
1. Facing the wrong way
2. In the next map, there are 3 scientists stuck in the floor and about 6 scientist outside the level (in the void) just standing there, plus a variety of aliens and scientists falling past them. WTF??!!! I have no idea what is going on. On the console it says stuff like 'got a velocity too low' or something like that.
Rather strange...

Rather strange...Scripted sequences will do the trick as they don?t interfiere with the monsters AI (they won?t attack till the script is done). Just make a scripted sequence for monster and put it where the destination point is. If you want a path I think you should make a scripted sequence per point, making each one triggers the next.
I?ll do it as soon as I need it... If you want it, I can send you a draft of the maps, for you to look at and laugh :P.
Anthony, still need that map?.

Hey it finally ran. Nice touch with the automatic door and the elevator. Now I want to know what's going on behind this. I wish to know how to do all that 
Could I ask what an info_node is?
OK thanks.
I like they hunger 1 and 3
dont name them
Humm Have to check that out is that in the flags or somewhere else?
Maybe I could see it if I turn off SmartEdit?
LOL just guessing

queer.
yep
aiscripted_sequence.or mayb sprit. and multimanager surprisingly simple really. something triggers it. take smartedit off and put the name and .001 (if u want instant trigger) and viola.

...XOR?NOR?
you lot are so backwards
Heart of Evil was so perfect it altered the state of my mind....like the end by the doors.....VIETNAM VIETNAM VIETNAM......
anyway, it is simply the most amazing mod ever. weapons textures monsters weather sounds plot you name it, it kicks botty
BTW it has an awesome chainsaw

Here's the deal: player passes through trigger_once which triggers 6 grunts. How do I get these grunts to then run to path_corner routes I've made without attacking the player, then resume normality when they've reached the destinations? I'm wondering about multimanager bit it's a bit complex to grasp on my own.......
then download some Linux ISO's!

heheHalflife has VERY limited boolean logic, usually ON or OFF. Don't expect any proper programming if/then/else logic as halflife (and hl2's from what I know) entity system wasn't designed to do anything.
ats simple ! just hold a cordless phone in 1 hand and strangle with the other!
Oh, sure; I look forward to it. Any idea when? Start a thread on the Maps 'n' Mods thread, or e-mail me at seventhmonkey0@icqmail.com

never! NEVER! NEEEEEEEVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ah, why not.
try posting it in the Problem Maps.PLEASE DON'T SPAM, PEOPLE!
Boolean logic is things like AND, OR, XOR, NOR, etc; kinda like for search engines. I believe it originated in basic electronic logic?

its cso atoms and the rest of twhl r actually communists and r plotting 2 kill the president but have seen the future and found you are to save him. bit like terminator really.
boolean. is this sum sort of made up word like "supercalifragalisticexpialidochious" or "peace"?
i tested it b4 i put in the elevator and it worked fine. laso i fixed ALL the leaks.
hey1 IM the 1 who says "scum"!
spirit. download it from someplace or other...yeah, it shouldve been i link but i cant b bothered. just make the entity and set behaviour to human military. or military, whichevers there. sry cant b more helpful bit i really cant b bothered right now...
What? What do you want me for?
I don't like Europe, it's not my kind of music..but the final countdown is a classic 
One of the support bands (Norther) at the DB concert played it (with Growl), that was pretty cool

You're going to have to recompile the dlls, After rewiting the cpps, well... HAVE FUN!!! 
Uploaded an example of all the things you asked for in the Map Vault. All you have to do is click download just above my comment. I loaded it up before you mentioned the Fade bit and txt, so tuff. maybe someone else can look at that, a second pair of eyes is always a good thing.
Seventh, remember I am making a mini mod and needed a custom splash screen for it?.. Well, it?s that, was in some forum post :P.
Anthony, check out these maps and if you need more help ask and I?ll do that map I told you :D.

I have no idea; think that works fine, pretty sure I've done it myself before. Not positive, though.
lol thw clicky strikes back

Alright!! It works perfectly! Thankyou!!
BTW, is there any way to get the level to fade to black, display text (of my own choice) and then come back into the same level? Sorta like pausing the game
