please help me i am trying to make a singleplayer like 3 months until now i had a few sp but nothing to upload because just one have a cutscene and its simple i want to now how make checkpoints dones vehicle spawn nav points and vehicles landing and spawning elites or marine please help me

people tend to be more willing to help you if they think you're not a noob and usually putting punctuation and organizing the request into a recognizable form helps otherwise its really hard to understand you so you might wanna try spell check or putting some thought into what you're saying people also generally comment more on well-made topics

- (game_save)
- (object_create [vehicle name])
- (activate_team_nav_point_flag [flag type] player [flag name] [vertical offset])
(deactivate_team_nav_point_flag player [flag name])
- (ai_place [ai encounter name])

those scripts need trigger volumes right?

- (game_save) nothing needed.
- (object_create [vehicle name- name the vehicle in sapien])
- (activate_team_nav_point_flag [flag type- "default", "default_red", "flag_blue", "flag_red",
"target_blue", "target_red", "skull_blue", "skull_red", "crown_blue", or "crown_red".] player [flag name- make a cutscene flag in sapien] [vertical offset- a number. I think 1.])
(deactivate_team_nav_point_flag player [flag name- make a ctuscene flag in sapien])
- (ai_place [ai encounter name])
None of these script need volumes.

thankyo but wich i need to make a unic checkpoint done

you actually don't need to make the checkpoint...done unicode string list yourself i think that's already set up in the game engine.

maybe but i need for me and a few friends to avoid begin from the first part of the sp

Okay, then. You need a trigger volume. When a player enters it, the game is saved.

how do i have to call it

sleep until volume test objects
game save

dont work please help me

the script should look like this:

(script startup game-save
(begin
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects triggername (players))15)
(game_save_no_timeout)
)
)

*replace triggername with the name of your trigger volume.

and then place the script in the data\levels\yourmapname\scripts folder

*replace yourmapname with the name of your map, and you may need to create the extra folders

after that hit compile scripts in sapien.

(make sure the document is a .hsc file)

Remove the (begin clause. This isn't needed, and it will cause problems. For future reference, only use (begin clauses to contain script lines for loops and conditional statements.

(script startup game-save
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects triggername (players)) 15)
(game_save_no_timeout)
)

nm wrong topic!!!
Ignore this.

still without work

okay, tell us exactly what your doing?

well i make the trigger volume what i need is make a checkpoint done and a safe way to make the end of the single player

And you're sure you've modified the provided script to fit your trigger volume, AND you compiled it?

yes i do

If it compiled without errors, paste your script here.

(script startup game-save
(sleep_until (tes triggername (players)) 15)
(game_save_no_timeout)
)
(script startup game-save
(sleep_until (tes2 triggername (players)) 15)
(game_save_no_timeout)
)
(script startup game-save
(sleep_until (tes3 triggername (players)) 15)
(game_save_no_timeout)
)
(script startup game-save
(sleep_until (tes4 triggername (players)) 15)
(game_save_no_timeout)
)
(script startup game-save
(sleep_until (tes5 triggername (players)) 15)
(game_save_no_timeout)
)
this is and i think its good compiled

it's not compiling because you change volume_test_objects and left triggername, each one should look like this:

(script startup game-save1
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects tes (players))15)
(game_save_no_timeout)
)
(script startup game-save2
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects tes2 (players))15)
(game_save_no_timeout)
)
etc...

*these are two seperate scripts to give you an example.

thank you

well that dont work i dont know why but well i want help with a flying vehicle to down and drop a few soldiers who can help me now
