Scripted_sentence? Created 18 years ago2005-06-21 16:03:07 UTC by Madcow

I have tried to make my npc's talk for a week now, but I can't figgure out how to use the Scripted_sentence..
HL2's scripted_scentences is a lot more weird than in HL1, so I ask the question, how do I get an NPC to say something?

I've seen people here on TWHL that knows how to make npc's say stuff, but no one says how.. ^^
So I know that someone here on TWHL knows, so anyone, please help me! >_<

Thanks!

I seatched google, found nothing.
Searched the forums, found only for HL1..

I think I know how to do it. But I dunno how to add sound

Is it somthing to do with the scences entity I see in example maps when people talk?

You need to know the sentences.txt and use a trigger output to target a scripted_senquence.

I can't find the sentences.txt. Which .gfc file is it in?

aahhh, thx habboi. Thats what I needed

useful information for sentences:
Use ambient generic, not only do you NOT have to know the names of the sentences but you also get to pick which entity it comes from easy as pie.

Yes scripted_sentence is the real way to do it besides choreograhy, but hell.. whatever makes it easier and works is the best way in my books teehee

So this is how I do it:
I first, make a NPC, then, make a scripted_sentence, then, I make a normal trigger_once..
I connect the scripted_sentence with the NPC, then, I make the trigger, trigger the scripted_sentence, and when I make that output, I also chose wich sentence I want the NPC to use? lol
did I get it right?`

I can't test it until tomorrow cuz I'm on a place wich doesn't got anything HL related! O.o

you pre-determin the sentence in the scripted_sentence i believe? You wont need parameters for the output

Just setup a scene with faceposer (vcd) and it will be MUCH more fluid and much easier.

How the hell do I do that?
