Speech for Scientists and Barney Created 20 years ago2003-11-06 00:49:28 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!

Might as well keep this on the Stuff forum after all

All right Anthony... Apart from what has been said in the Stuff Forum you should take a look at this link. It explains how to add new sentences from old ones!.

You were talking about scripted sentences. Is this needed so that everytime you 'use' them they say stuff like "Sorry Mr Freeman Im on duty" or "Why do we have to wear these ridicules ties"

No, for that, just tick the pre-disaster flag.

Yeah, this Scripted Sentences are the sentences YOU want THEM to say and must be triggered for them to work.
For example, you can have a breakable computer and a scientist, right?. You can make that once you break the computer the scientist goes nuts running to the computer and once he gets there, you can make him yell "No!!!!!" (which would make sense) or "Good morning Gordon" (which would make no sense but this is only something acting like a example)...
This would be done this way:
-The computer would trigger a scripted_sequence.
-The Scripted sequence would make him run to the computer (actually the place where the Scriped sequence is) and then would trigger the Scripted Sequence.
-The scripted sequence would make the scientist yell.
-You end up providing the scientist with a shot in his head.

If you want a little example map you can ask it :D.

lol, like the ending

Let?s be kind with others as others are kind with me.

By the way Seventh, I?ll ask you for that Splash screen... Stay online ;).

Thanks for that

OK how bout different actions? Like the CPR one for the scientists
Hammer 3.5 has the animation thing built in but it doesn't seem to run with the level

Ok please send me the example map

Try my maps in the Example Maps section of the 'Vault: "Scripting" and "Cameras and Sentences". Maybe try Completed Maps/Cause of Death.

Marlborometal: Splash screen??

That was my comment

tyvm

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.

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

Clicky (test)

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?.

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...

OK the maps on now...download it and check it out. Also any suggestions for how to 'spice it up' gladly appreciated...

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 come on i really need help!!!

I'll looking at it in a minute, I hope (if Steam feels like working today)

Thanks
