a problem with scripted_sequences Created 18 years ago2005-06-26 01:42:21 UTC by Pyroclasm

Hello everybody, you probably don't remember me, which is OK because I haven't posted in a while, I've been working on my mod (yes, people do still mod of HL1).

Anyways, I have a small problem with a scripted sequence, during a cut-scene, I have a scientist who is running away from a grunt, he gets backed into a corner and then the grunt is supposed to shoot him, but he (the grunt) just stands there.

By the way, I'm using a trail of scripted sequences to make both of them move.

Any help would be appreciated.

if its all scripted are you using a scripted sequence to make the grunt fire? Does the grunt have any flags that disable him from firing at you? (mainly prisoner one)

No, and No. He is suppost to follow the scientist, whick he does, and then shoot the scientist, with his shotgun, in the face... thereby killing him. Although I might try that scripted_sequence to make the grunt fire.

Hmm... well, thats an improvement, atleast he fires his gun now, but he compleetly misses the scientist... ARGH!!!! STUPID GRUNT!!!!!!!

use the little compass on the scripted sequence properties to aim the scricpted sequence at the scientist. That may work

Try making the grunt shoot at that scientist with a script! I know that when you make something attack with a melee attack animation it hurts.(To make him hit,if he can,choose the turn to face.) If it doesn't do a thing then use trigger hurt to simulate the bullet's demage!

and maybe an infodecal to appear when he is hit

Yes give an the info decal a name and then it will start off,and when triggered it will apear!

OK, good ideas, but I do have him facing the scientist, he just fires his gun into the air for some odd reason. Also, I cant seem to make a trigger hurt do any damage to an NPC, but that might be my fault.

I'm going to go try it.

i think there is a flag that allows you to allow the trigger_hurt to affect monsters only

'Monsters' is the name! And the 'no clients' flag makes that the player won't be affected by the trigger!!

thats the flag

Hmm... there's no "Monsters" flag, only "Target once", "Start off" (which I have checked, because it's triggered), "No Clients", "FireClientOnly", and "TouchClientOnly". Now I'm really confused

OK, I sort-of fixed the problem, now the grunt kicks the scientist in the face, causing him to keelover dead, and since your character is represented by the scientist, the screen goes black when he hits the floor. Thanks for all the help, and look for my mod, Half-Life: Retrieval, to come out sometime this year, I hope.

You can make the a script that makes the scientist play a die animation and tick the 'live corpes' flag so it will look like the grunt killed him with the gun(you can add some flinch animations before he dies to make it look like he is being hit by the bullets )

Oopss...it is called the 'Leave corpse' flag!

Sounds hard...
