SOUNDS BAD Created 19 years ago2005-04-02 19:07:44 UTC by lord2k

Hello, my name is laurence. Right the problem...

I have followed the tutorial on scripted_sentences, but when I run the map, the scientist talks what I tell him to... he then says half - way through it "I predicted of all this you know..." or somthing like that...If I select "GAG" in the flags menu for the scientist, he does not even say anything, it is quite along sentence and comes with Halflife. I DID NOT use any custom sounds, they all came with halflife. Can you please help me?

I haven't used scripted stuff, but try messing with the flags. Try "Interrupt Speech" or/and "Concurrent".

The scientist will 'speak' all or any of the sentences within the sentence text that you have chosen. //Sci or whatever.
He should start with the one you selected, and seems to be doing that.

Which sentence have you asked him to speak?
Have you listened to the wav of that sentence?

Have you interupted the Sci? by 'using' him? this sometimes causes him to start the next sentence in the string.

No, the sentence is the one when you first meet the military, and the barney get's taken by that zombie, when you get to that room, the scientist says "you can trust them, you can trust all of us." (That's just part of the sentence). Yes, I have listened to the .wav file. I went to the sentences.txt and chose this one :!SC_TRUST. I have to put in the "!" mark because the tutorial said to. Plus, what does "Interrupt Speech" and "Concurrent" mean in terms of halflife mapping?

Why on earth have you put a colon in there?

I think he means:

...and chose this one: !SC_TRUST. I...

listen, just tell me the answer please, I need this working and I don't have the time to talk about COLONS!!!

I had this problem before, and i when i checked "prisoner" the problem was solved. Weird.

This defines those options:
Scripted_Sentence

(4) Interrupt speech - Will interupt the normal speach to the "Speaker Type" to play the sentence.
(8) Concurrent - NFI

Since I wrote this, you would think I would write it here as well, but it doesn't seem I did

Oh, and chill out.. they are only trying to help!!

It's okay folks, fixed it, the problem was that the sentence time was set to 3 secs, but the sentence it self was 30 odd seconds. Puh

ah
but remember, if your using multiple sentences, open the wav files in wmp, and check the time. Then you could be more accurate.
