Now, I would like to place into certain points within the campaign. I assume this will involve Sapien, and that crashes whenever I try to open a campaign .scenario. So yeah. Any level of instruction appreciated (detailed instructions preffered)

When an object enters a trigger volume, that trigger volume captures the name of that object, and nothing else. It is your job as the scripter to create a conditional statement testing whether or not the specified object is indeed in the list for a certain trigger volume. Caboose shows you how to create that statement, but for example, you have a trigger volume named "checkpoint1" and a .sound_looping named "loopers" located at "tags\music\sound\looper\loopers.sound_looping", then the script would be: (script startup music_time (sleep_until (volume_test_objects checkpoint1 (players))15) (sound_looping_start tags\music\sound\looper\loopers none 1.00) )

Posted: Jun 6, 2012 08:38 AM Msg. 5 of 9 If you want to start it from the cutscene, you don't need a trigger volume, you can just start it up in your script: (script startup music (sound_looping_start sound\music\looper\loopers none 1.00) ) Edited by G_Maverick on Jun 6, 2012 at 08:39 AM

You don't need to add "[5]", but you can. You would put this in a .hsc file and save it to levels\test\<mapname>\scripts\blahblah.hsc. Edited by G_Maverick on Jun 6, 2012 at 08:55 PM

Why do you claim to of fixed something when all you did was break it?... It was perfectly valid before, volume_test_objects; this uses a object_list, and (players) happens to return a object_list of all the players. But now its broken in more ways than one. list_get will get an error, because you only gave it a object_list but not the index to get from that list. The unit will rage because you gave it a object and a short when it only wants a object. The volume_test command is never ended, you left out the ). Same with the sleep_until. Also, why is this tag inside of <hce>\tags\tags\sound\blah blah? People don't usually have a tags folder inside of their tags folder..

Yeah, I forgot to remove that "tags" part. I had intended to, but I didn't get around to it. P.S., saw that script you wrote where everything becomes a vehicle. Genius.
