Some questions

[AB033]

Hi.

I want to put an actor at one place. I tried everything but actor just does not appear. Here is the code:

What is the problem here?

 

NOTE: I'm using Steve M's Map Cleaner. I made a map. Does that make a trouble?

[Dutchy3010]

It doesn't spawn the actor because of the "end_thread" earlier:

 

014C: set_parked_car_generator $PARKED_DUMPER cars_to_generate_to 101end_threadModel.Load(#BFYST)

 

After that the code stops of course.

 

You have to use that end_thread code at the end of the thread to prevent crashes, though.

[AB033]

I deleted all the "end threads", but the game does not crash but still there is no actor.

Thanks for help.

[AB033]

Ooops, sorry it's ok. It is problem but not in script. It is in mapping.

Thanks.

[AB033]

Okay Dutchy3010, I'm back in the action. I need a help and I'm making a mission. Mission needs to look like this:

 

STORY:

-CJ has arrived in small town. In front of his house he meets his first neighbour. After some talk, they get in the car and neighbour is showing CJ the town (Driving, markers, etc). At end of the tour they go back home and mission is over.

 

WORK PROGRESS:

I made an Icon and sphere in front of the house. I loaded the models (car and actor,neighbour).

And that is it. Then I need a help. I want to make a cutscene and put the dialog between CJ and neighbour. Also I want to make neighbour and CJ to get in the car. The rest of mission I can do alone.

Here is the code:

Read the latest add-on to Mission Coding for Dummies, it explains how to make a cutscene, or you can explain better and I can do it for you.

 

However it seems like this is turning into a request and belongs in the request topic.

[AB033]

Thanks Trickstar!

Sorry I didn't see there is tutuorial about cutscenes. I got it.

Question is: How to put a dialog between player and actor? Do you understand?

 

[Dutchy3010]

What you basically want, is two actors who are doing an animation at the right time and you have to display text. A very easy example from my rent-a-car script:

 

04ED: load_animation 'GANGS'repeat wait 0until 04EE:   animation 'GANGS' loaded 00BC: show_text_highpriority GXT 'RENT001' time 2000 flag 1; 0605: actor [email protected] perform_animation_sequence "PRTIAL_GNGTLKA" IFP_file "GANGS" 4.0 loop 1 0 0 0 time 2200 // versionA   wait 2200 ms00BC: show_text_highpriority GXT 'RENT002' time 2000 flag 1;  0605: actor $PLAYER_ACTOR perform_animation_sequence "PRTIAL_GNGTLKB" IFP_file "GANGS" 4.0 loop 1 0 0 0 time 2200 // versionA  wait 2200 ms00BC: show_text_highpriority GXT 'RENT003' time 2000 flag 1;  0605: actor [email protected] perform_animation_sequence "PRTIAL_GNGTLKA" IFP_file "GANGS" 4.0 loop 1 0 0 0 time 2200 // versionA  wait 2200 ms

 

 

If you want, you can change camera, so you are looking at the actor who is "talking":

 

Camera.SetPosition(-1963.2296, 290.4124, 36.068, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0)Camera.PointAt(-1961.4208, 293.3627, 35.4687, 2)

 

Of course there are also other opcodes you can use for the camera.

 

Good luck.

 

 

EDIT @ Trickstar below: let me decide myself if and when I help someone. Thanks.

Dutchy, it's best he first reads the tutorial before giving advice on them like that, that way he understands the you cant put a wait between those two objects. That's a problem he may encounter so I decided to mention it.

[AB033]

Okay, let's make it easy.

 

I stand in a marker. Mission starts. In the same time starts the cutscene. Two actors standing, talking.

To make it easy forget the animations. Just want to put a dialog, text, talk between them two.

 

EXAMPLE:

ACTOR: Hello, what's your name? You are new here?

CJ (player_actor): Carl Johnson, CJ. Yes I'm new here. What's your name?

etc.etc.

 

How to do that? What is the code? Do you know what I mean?

 

[trickstar34]

Yea, make FXT files, I'll search for the tutorial on it for you, then you lock players position (best to put the actor where you want him to be) then you add texts, also explained in Mission Coding for Dummies. Set waits for how long you want CJ to stand still, then at the end fade out so the player is visible, then set Player.CanMove = True then your done.

[AB033]

I don't have an a idea how that needs to look (code).

Does anybody can make it for me:

When player_actor stands in sphere cutscene starts. There are two actors: player actor and actor. No animations. They talk for some time and cutscene ends. Can you do it? Because I didn't see it and I don't know how it needs to look like. (Complete cutscene, no parts, one in all)

[AB033]

I guess not.

Topic can be closed.
