Ending and credits

[JetlinerX]

Hey all!

Anyone know how I can make it so that when the player unlocks a door, a grunt will charge them, but the player is frozen, thus letting the grunt kill them (preferably with 1 hit)? Also, how do i start credits when the player dies?

Finally, How in the world do I even do credits?! LOL!

Thanks!

Thanks so much! Is it possible to roll credits upon the death of the character by a certain monster?

hmm....I tried alot of things but couldn't get it to work.
you could try to add a timer, for example; 5seconds after monster spawns the screen fadesout.

Code: (Select All)

Addtimer("", 5.0f, "DeathTimer");

Code: (Select All)

void DeathTimer (string &in AsTimer)
{
FadeOut(3.0f);
AddTimer("", 3.0f, "DeathTimer2");
}

void DeathTimer (string &in AsTimer)
{
StartCredits("good_song.snt", true, "Ending", "Credits", 1)
}

change the "3.0f" and "5.0f" in the timers so it matches; when player hits the monster so the screen is red or something.

I hope it helped.

Alright, I will try that too! Thanks man!

CheckPoint (string& asName, string& asStartPos, string& asCallback, string& asDeathHintCat, string& asDeathHintEntry);

asCallback - the function to call when the player dies/respawns

I'm not sure if you can skip the hint text with this though...

[JetlinerX]

Right now, I am using this:

void MonsterFunc1(string &in asParent , string &in asChild , int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("mrflappyjaw2" , true);
SetPlayerMoveSpeedMul(0.1f);
SetPlayerJumpDisabled(true);
CheckPoint ("EndGame", "Player_Start", "StartCredits", "DeathHintCategory", "DeathHintEntry");
}
void StartCredits(string &in asName, int alCount)
{
StartCredits("musicfile.ogg" , true , "Credits" , "End" , 1);
}
///////////////////////////
//Run when leaving map
void OnLeave ()
{
}

And does it show that DeathHintEntry text?
Or does it go straight to credits when you die?

[JetlinerX]

It just fades to black, no death message, and then eventually it will just say "The End"

Allright then you have something wrong with the eng_lang file thing
