Speech for Scientist and Barney Created 20 years ago2003-11-05 21:37:34 UTC by AJ

How do you make it so that the chracters in the game speak as in before the experiment? As in the no disaster has occured yet. Is there any way to have specific speech for certain chracters? Is there a way to view all the speech available to the specific character? I'm relatively new to mapping so please help me out!

Well Anthony, put this in the General Mapping Stuff, it may be useful for much mappers :D... I?ll try to help you a little bit here and a little bit there (I mean, I?ll tell you the basics here but post this in the main forum, I?ll attract more attention).
You can have speeches in the game using an entity called scripted_sentence. This entity uses original Half Life recorded speeches (phrases in general) and you can assing any of them to any character building a conversation with a little timing.
One cool thing is that you can actually create your own speeches for the characters recording them yourself. It?s easy to do, I?ll tell you how or give some link in the main forum ;).
To see all the speeches (to hear the speeches, I mean) you?ll need a program like Qped to open the PAK file (don?t worry, a file containing most media stuff of the game) and there you will find the sounds and you will be able to hear them.

The monster_scientist and monster_barney entities have a flag called pre-disaster. Tick that flag and they will behave and speak like in HL before the disaster. You can also use a scripted_sentence entity to make them say whatever you choose from their list of sentences. Seventh-monkey has a good example map in the map vault here at TWHL called "Cameras and Sentences".

that about says it all

Uh, Black Cat? That was really spammy, bringing up a fortnight-old thread for no reason.
