Glitchy/Jittery Sleep? - theDARKW0LF - 09-22-2010
I copied another poster's code to make the player spawn in as if asleep, but when lying on his side, my character's view jitters back and forth rapidly - it's not staying still while on it's side like it should be...
The code I used was:
Code:
void wakeUp () {
FadeOut(0); // Instantly fades the screen out. (Good for starting the game)
FadeIn(20); // Amount of seconds the fade in takes
FadeImageTrailTo(2, 2);
FadeSepiaColorTo(100, 4);
SetPlayerActive(false);
FadePlayerRollTo(50, 220, 220); // "Tilts" the players head
FadeRadialBlurTo(0.15, 2);
SetPlayerCrouching(true); // Simulates being on the ground
AddTimer("trig1", 11.0f, "beginStory"); // Change '11.0f' to however long you want the 'unconciousness' to last
}
void beginStory(string &in asTimer){
ChangePlayerStateToNormal();
SetPlayerActive(true);
FadePlayerRollTo(0, 33, 33); // Change all settings to defaults
FadeRadialBlurTo(0.0, 1);
FadeSepiaColorTo(0, 4);
SetPlayerCrouching(false);
FadeImageTrailTo(0,1);
}But I have since edited it and integrated it into Pandemoneus' StartPlayerLookAt Intro, and it still jitters about both before and after... Any ideas why it is like this?
RE: Glitchy/Jittery Sleep? - jens - 09-22-2010
It's better you post the code you have instead of one of the example you used. I am guessing it is the startplayerlookat that has too high values or a bit of a conflict in script making it hard to it to make up its mind, so the camera stutters.
RE: Glitchy/Jittery Sleep? - theDARKW0LF - 09-22-2010
That's my point though, even before I integrated the StartPlayerLookAt into the WakeUp script, it still stuttered. But if it helps, I'll post my code below:
Code:
void Intro()
{
AddDebugMessage("Begin Intro", false);
SetPlayerCrouching(true);
SetPlayerActive(false);
FadeOut(0.0f);
FadeIn(12.0f);
FadeImageTrailTo(2, 2);
FadePlayerRollTo(50, 220, 220); // "Tilts" the players head
AddTimer("1", 2, "IntroTimer");
AddTimer("2", 2.5f, "IntroTimer");
AddTimer("3", 3, "IntroTimer");
AddTimer("4", 4, "IntroTimer");
AddTimer("5", 6, "IntroTimer");
}
void IntroTimer(string &in asTimer)
{
if(asTimer == "1"){
PlayGuiSound("player_cough.snt", 0.7f);
}
else if(asTimer == "2"){
SetPlayerCrouching(false);
}
else if(asTimer == "3"){
StartPlayerLookAt("candlestick_tri_1", 2.0f, 1.0f, "");
}
else if(asTimer == "4"){
StopPlayerLookAt();
StartPlayerLookAt("DoorScript", 3.0f, 3.0f, "");
PlayGuiSound("react_breath_slow", 0.7f);
}
else if(asTimer == "5"){
StopPlayerLookAt();
FadeImageTrailTo(0, 1.0f);
FadePlayerRollTo(0, 33, 33); // Change all settings to defaults
FadeSepiaColorTo(0, 4);
PlayGuiSound("react_breath_slow", 0.5f);
SetPlayerActive(true);
SetMessage("Message", "Hint0", 0);
AddDebugMessage("End Intro", false);
}

Ah sorry read too fast the second part.
Have you tried to disable FadeImageTrailTo in the script? That can look a bit stuttering if having strange values. Maybe lower the values in FadePlayerRollTo? perhaps change 220 to as low as 10 and go from there up.
RE: Glitchy/Jittery Sleep? - theDARKW0LF - 09-22-2010
I'll try that, thanks. - EDIT: Ok so I reduced the 220 to 150 and it works like a charm now, thanks!
Question: Why do most people put in an F after their numerical values in their scripts? I don't and everything seems to still work fine.
RE: Glitchy/Jittery Sleep? - DamnNoHtml - 09-22-2010
I should probably edit that in my post :O
The higher value didn't cause this error for me though, weird.
