I don't really know how to make the screen blurry but I know another thing which looks good

Code:

{
    SetPlayerActive(false);
    FadeIn(3.0f);
    MovePlayerHeadPos(0, -1.0f, 0, 13, 11);
    SetPlayerCrouching(true);
    FadeRadialBlurTo(2.0f, 1);
        AddTimer("", 8, "Player");
        StartPlayerLookAt("name of area the player should look at", 2, 4, "StopPlayerLookAt");
        PlaySoundAtEntity("", "player_cough.snt", "Player", 0, false);
}
void Player(string &in asTimer)
{
  PlaySoundAtEntity("", "react_sigh.snt", "Player", 0, false);
  SetPlayerActive(true);
  MovePlayerHeadPos(0, 0, 0, 10, 20);
  SetPlayerCrouching(false);
  FadeRadialBlurTo(0, 3);
}

Third question:

Code:

    HPS FILE    
                 StartPlayerLookAt("name of area the player should look at", 2, 4, "StopPlayerLookAt");
                 SetMessage("ShowMessage", "Name of Message", 5);

Code:

lang file
  <CATEGORY Name="ShowMessage">
    <Entry Name="Name of the Message">Enter you Text here</Entry>
</CATEGORY>

Ok should be easy because my hps file or lang file doesnt have anything in them yet so i can just copy paste.The second one is still a mystery
EDIT:Thats not exactly what i meant.The intro is good but i meant that when the intro is over and the player can walk,he starts looking at entity and a text appears + my text doesnt seem to work : (

<CATEGORY Name="ShowMessage">
<Entry Name="Name of the Message">Ugh what happened..I should pick that torch and try to find my way out of here.</Entry>
</CATEGORY>

Aand my hps

Ok so now the only problem is how to make the player look at entity(i know the script but i dont know where to put it in that hps )and when he looks at it he says ''i should pick up that torch and try to find a exit.'' AND btw forgot to ask this:In the intro,when the player is on the ground how do i make a message appearing and saying ugh...what happened?

I don't really get it
Do you mean where?
Your script wasn't wrong. The script should work I mean.
To make a message appearing you have to add this to your script

SetMessage("ShowMessage", "Name of Message", 5);

Then the script should look like this

I mean that after the intro(the player coughs and gets up)he doesnt look at the torch and no message appears + how do i make a message appear in the intro or when its going you know.The player is on the ground and a message appears how do i do that?

Sorry It's difficult for me to understand this.
You mean that the message appears when the intro starts?
So he is coughing and the Message appears?
If you mean this the script should work.
Just tell me what happens when you run the Custom map.
How looks the Intro?
