nvm

Okay, lots of things:

You have to put each dormant script above each of the startup script. The compiler reads from top to bottom, so if the startup script is on top of the dormant script and it has the "wake script_name" command, then it thinks it's referencing a script that doesn't exist and stops compiling to give an error.

So basically, just switch the order from:

(script startup blah

(script dormant blah

to:

(script dormant blah

(script startup blah

Also, two other things: for the sound scripts, change them to startup scripts, because otherwise the sound will get started continuously when pelican_crash object is in the pelican_crash trigger volume. So, also change the "if" test to a "sleep_until" test for those sound scripts.

Also, you have two "sounding2" scripts, rename the second one to something else.

And, for the "sound_impulse_start" command, you need to reference a "sound" tag, not a "sound_looping" tag. So, if you need to reference a sound_looping, then use the "sound_looping_start" command instead:

(sound_looping_start )

plays a looping sound from the specified source object (or "none"), with the specified scale.

When referring to a tag in a script, you don't need the extension, as in you don't need to put ".sound_looping" at the end of it, because it knows what tag type to look for.

Last thing. In your "box_killer" script, you want to kill player "0" if he gets in the trigger volume, so change the "(list_get (players) 1)" at the "volume_test_object" test to "(list_get (players) 0)".

Get rid of the "box_killer2" script, since you're not going to ever have more than one player in single player. You don't need it.

Edit: Fantastic. I spent so long typing that you edited everything out before I posted. xD

Either way, this should help you out.

Oh yeah, forgot that there was a different trigger volume. Keep the "box_killer2" script, but make sure the number for each (players) call is the same: "0".

help me plz?

and this is my script without the other thread involved. (so forget about the bold)

my new script is this:
