I have a skill check setup for shooting out a door lock and I can't figure out how to make a gunshot play just the one time, is it possible or am I SOL?

Thanks guys

Scn NVIntKatzBathDoorScript		int bfixed     ;1=player has shot the door mechanism 		int bshowmessage		int ibuttonBegin Onactivate		if bfixed			Activate		else			showmessage NVIntKatzBathDoorMessage01		set bshowmessage to 1	endifEndBegin GameMode		set iButton to GetButtonPressed		if ibutton == 0			return		elseif (ibutton == 1)			set bfixed to 1			showmessage NVIntKatzBathDoorShotOutRewardXP 35 Activate			endif		endif	endifEnd

i dont quite understand what your trying to do =S, my scripting skill isnt that good but is it just one part of the script you dont want to repeat or the entire script? would ya mind annotating the script just so i can understand it better?

if not my only suggestion is put a Doonce variable in with another if statement

I have the script on a door that does a skill check on the players gun skill level, if the skill is great enough you can shoot out the lock mechanism to activate the door. Right now the sound is just a door opening but I want to playback a gun shot just the first time the door is activated........I hope that helps....Thank you

try something like what i have here in bold

Scn NVIntKatzBathDoorScript                [b]short Doonce[/b]		int bfixed     ;1=player has shot the door mechanism 		int bshowmessage		int ibuttonBegin Onactivate		if bfixed			Activate		else			showmessage NVIntKatzBathDoorMessage01		set bshowmessage to 1	endifEndBegin GameMode                [b]set Doonce to 0[/b]		set iButton to GetButtonPressed 		if ibutton == 0			return		elseif (ibutton == 1)			set bfixed to 1			showmessage NVIntKatzBathDoorShotOut              [b]          if Doonce == 0                            Playsound [Soundname]                        set Doonce to 1                        endif [/b]RewardXP 35 Activate			endif		endif	endifEnd

That will only play a gun shot sound once you have to choose the sound, so it might not sound like the weapon your holding, i hope this helps i still dont understand this script as im new to scripting as well !!!

good luck!

kanoba thanks alot I will give it a try after dinner and let you know how it goes.

OK I get and error for line 2 (GECKPU) have a look http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss326/bigcrazewolf/Scripterrorpic.jpg...something about script command b not found


wolf

Sorrry! i ment to bold the text i changed so just take out the "[ b ]" and "[ /b ]"

Ah ok no problem lemme give it another shot, thanks again.

wolf

Ah another day another new issue

I found the sound I wanted to use in the GECK and here is the script line

Playsound (WPNLeverActShotgunFire2D) 

I get the error :

Missing parameter sound.
Compiled script not saved!

1. You do not put parethesis around the sound name.
2. The way your button retrieval is setup WILL mess up your game. You need to only check it when you menu is 'active'.
3. You donot need to use the doOnce, you can use your existing variable named 'bshowmessage'.

Scn NVIntKatzBathDoorScriptint bfixed		;1=player has shot the door mechanismint bshowmessageint ibuttonBegin Onactivate	if bfixed		Activate	else		if bshowmessage == 0			showmessage NVIntKatzBathDoorMessage01			set bshowmessage to 1		endif	endifEndBegin GameMode	if bshowmessage == 1		set iButton to GetButtonPressed		if ibutton == 0			set bshowmessage to 0			return		elseif ibutton == 1			set bfixed to 1			set bshowmessage to 2			showmessage NVIntKatzBathDoorShotOut			Playsound WPNLeverActShotgunFire2D			RewardXP 35			Activate		endif	endifEnd

Thanks WillieSea I'm gonna put that in now and fire it up.
