Doin a resident evil map, and when u pick the shotgun up it triggers that roof to come down on you (in the real game) im makin it slightly different so taht when u poick the shotty up it will trigger off a door closing sound and then 3 zombies appear in the room where the roof usually falls down.

how would i go about doing this?

cheers

let the weapon trigger a multimaneger wihc first triggers a sound. then 3 zombies ore a monstermake wihc will make the zombies walk in wiht ascripted sequence

what key values do i need to put into the multi manager for the sound and the three zombies?

these always confuse me

and what do i exactly do for the scripted sequence. is it better to make them walk through the door, or actually just appear in the room, as you wont see em walk in anyway

the only advice i can say is give up making a resident evil map, i tried. it was all was going well, but the game play is rubish. When its out of first person the bullets go all over the place, this is a pic from my attempt.As you can see he is facing the camera but the bullets are going behind him.

im stickin to a first person one though, i have ideas to slow the gameplay down to, with opening/closing door sequences etc etc. its goin alright. dont know how to put a screen shot up tho :/

i need to think of a new puzzle, its for a uni assignment, and the result of this puzzle will give u access to the courtyard door (where u out the moon/star etc shapes in) and end the level. so if anyone has any ideas id appreciate it

Hmmm 403 error...

Oh wait they worked. Not bad not bad...

OK, once again, as I have said many times before. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE EVERYTHING SO COMPLICATED SOUNDING. Make a block around the weapon. Set the block to a trigger_once and set te trigger to the zombies.Dne and done. And no multimanagers needed. BOOYOSA!!!

lol, i can never think simple

If you're going to do it that way, you don't even need the trigger_once, just set the 'target' property of the weapon to trigger your monsters. However, you'll need to set your door sound and the monstermakers all with the same name. Sometimes doing that leads to trouble. I recommend you make the effort to learn how to use the multimanager now. It will save you a lot of trouble later.

i nearly had it sorted with the multi manager.

to do it with the multimanager would you create 3 monstermakers or 3 actual monsters, and then name them and link em in the multi manager?

Monstermakers, otherwise the monsters will be in the room from the time the map starts.

Someone said something above about when are you going to be able to edit posts? I emailed atom about it like a day ago (coincedence) and he said he is going to be getting on that very soon.

I'll probably never learn how to use the multimanager haha.

You'll have to change your name then....to Worldcraft Dud.
