Where do I put in the scripts so that sapien will compile it. I tried putting it in data/levels/test/beavercreek/scripts and tags/levels/test/beavercreek/scripts and it dosn't do anything and it has .hsc.

Assuming the map is in tags/levels/test/beavercreek then the scripts go in data/levels/test/beavercreek/scripts You have to initiate the compile from within Sapien from the drop down menu |

As well I put the script the file and it stall dosn't compile. Is their anything else that I have to do to compile it. Or is it that it dosn't work for notepad?

So u finally decided to go on the site head noob?
Now, to get my sp scripts to work i made a new folder with the map name (hmm, creek_sp will do) in tags levels test. put ur scenario file in that folder and create another creek_sp folder in data levels test. In data levels test creek_sp, make a new folder called scripts and chuck ur script in there. Open sapien and compile the script. Any errors appear in the game view and debug And as for the properties view always being maximised, its probly that piece of junk u call ur pc. Seriously get that laptop ur keep talking about cos that thing is going to explode! And dennis, when i did it ur way it didn't work for some reason |

It won't explode until you kick it.
Now my script is not working. This is it. (script startup basicscript (wait_until(volume_test_objects red_base(players)26)) -Something is wrong here it says? (ai_place red_base) (game_save_no_timeout) And so on with the script. What is wrong with line 2? Edited by Head Noob on Oct 4, 2010 at 03:46 AM |

(script startup basicscript
(wait_until (volume_test_objects red_base (players) 26)) (ai_place red_base) (game_save_no_timeout) ....blah blah blah ) There should be spaces between the words and the parentheses, like so. Make sure to close the script with a parenthesis as well, when you get to the end. Edited by MoooseGuy on Oct 4, 2010 at 07:52 AM |

and why the 26) at the end???
Doesn't that mean u wait for 2.6 seconds before the command initiates??? If so i think thats why i have a few glitches in my four sp's coming soon that head noob did the beta testing for (well i did it on his pc...so he really wasn't a beta tester) And much better avatar head noob hi 5 for taking my advice And we did try kicking the computer: what's wrong with it? BANG Graphics card has a spaz |

I fixed it and added more. Now the cutscene is being a gay thing. But I can fix that. How do you create objectives and nav points the tutorial I have that tells me what to do isn't working

Quote: --- Original message by: Gamma927 Now, you're wondering why I didn't fill in the HUD text stuff for you. This part is a bit complicated. You're going to have to create a new txt file, renamed to hud messages.hmt (hmt being the file extension). When you save this, make sure it's set to unicode encoding. Then, inside, place your HUD texts in this format: INDEX=OBJECTIVE TEXT So if I wanted to display something like, ">>Go through the teleporter", I'd use: obj1=>>Go through the teleporter Please note that obj1 is the index, and that we'll be referring to that in the script. Once you've filled the hud messages.hmt file with your objectives (NOTE. YOU CANNOT HAVE TWO SAME INDEXES.) Then, CLOSE SAPIEN, and open your command prompt. Type in: tool hud-messages DIRECTORY OF SCENARIO FILE NAME OF SCENARIO FILE So if your scenario file was inside tags\levels\firefight\firefight.scenario, you'd put your hud messages.hmt file inside: data\levels\firefight Then, you'd type into tool: tool hud-messages levels\firefight firefight Compile it. Re-open Sapien AFTER COMPILING. Inside your script, add (show_hud_help_text true) ;; Displays HUD help text (hud_set_objective_text INDEX) ;; Sets the objective thing in the pause menu (hud_set_help_text INDEX) ;; Sets the HUD text to this (sleep 150) ;; Sleeps for five seconds (show_hud_help_text false) ;; Stops displaying HUD help text Replacing INDEX with your index from your hud messages.hmt file. So if your index was obj1, you'd use something like: (show_hud_help_text true) (hud_set_objective_text obj1) (hud_set_help_text obj1) (sleep 150) (show_hud_help_text false) THIS IS NOT A STANDALONE SCRIPT. YOU CANNOT USE THIS ALONE. Copied and pasted this from one of the tutorials I wrote a while ago. I should collect them and post them sometime. |

Thanks. Now my cutscene is only showing the skybox not where i put the cams. All I need to do is make it have a piture of the map and then go to the player. Can anyone help me with that.
What about if the level is in levels\test what do i put in the tool then? Edited by Head Noob on Oct 7, 2010 at 06:23 AM |

chuck the scenario in levels test creek_sp as i said before something like that.
And also one of my cutscenes are glitchy. It sorta changes everytime its meant to show some elites patrolling but first of all it starts outside of the map and sometimes the camera just flys away this is the script i am using for it: (player_enable_input 0) (camera_control 1) (cinematic_start) (cinematic_show_letterbox 1) (sleep 60) (cinematic_start) (cinematic_show_letterbox 1) (camera_set cam1 60) (sleep 60) (camera_set cam2 60) (sleep 100) (camera_control 0) (cinematic_stop) Also in my sp's the music is sometimes all wierd like it starts when its meant to then there's a big battle and it stops and starts again And navpoints. I can't get navpoints working either. I have been trying to use this command from p0lar bears tut: (activate_nav_point_flag default nav1) but it isn't working. The debug is saying that nav1 isn't a valid navpoint |

You're using (camera_set cam1 60) as your first camera point, which means that it takes 2 seconds for the camera to get to the first camera position.
