The script works fine, There just has to be an easier way to do this I just don't know how.

My scripting knowledge is mediocre at best while I know most of the words offhand I can't exactly implement them.

Anyone?

Code:
void OnStart(){}
void OnLeave(){}
void OnEnter(){
    SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("book", "pages", true);
    AddUseItemCallback("", "key", "door", "unlock", true);
    SetSwingDoorLocked("door", true, false);
    PlayMusic("TemptingSecrets.ogg", true, .7f, .5f, 2, true);
    SetEntityActive("book_open_1", false);
}
void unlock(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity){
    SetSwingDoorLocked("door", false, true);
    PlayGuiSound("unlock_door.snt", 1.0f);
    PreloadParticleSystem("Paper_Blow_Fall.ps");
}
void pages(string &in asEntity){
    CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("particle", "Paper_Blow_Fall.ps", "particle_spawner", false);
    AddPlayerBodyForce(-20000, 0, 0, false);
    AddTimer("timer_1", 1.0f, "act_ent1");
    AddTimer("timer_10", .5f, "sound1");
}
void sound1(string &in asTimer){
    SetEntityActive("fakebook", true);
    AddPropForce("fakebook", -150, -30,  0, "world");
    PlayGuiSound("book_paper_fall.ogg", 1.0f);
}
void act_ent1(string &in asTimer){
    SetEntityActive("note_1", true);
    StartPlayerLookAt("note_1", 10, 10, "");
    AddTimer("timer_2", 1.0f, "act_ent2");
}
void act_ent2(string &in asTimer){
    SetEntityActive("note_2", true);
    StartPlayerLookAt("note_3", 5, 5, "");
    AddTimer("timer_3", 1.0f, "act_ent3");
    AddQuest("pickup", "pickup");
}
void act_ent3(string &in asTimer){
    SetEntityActive("note_3", true);
    AddTimer("timer_4", 1.0f, "act_ent4");
}
void act_ent4(string &in asTimer){
    SetEntityActive("note_4", true);
    StartPlayerLookAt("note_5", 5, 5, "");
    AddTimer("timer_5", 1.0f, "act_ent5");
}
void act_ent5(string &in asTimer){
        SetEntityActive("note_5", true);
        StartPlayerLookAt("note_6", 9, 9, "");
        AddTimer("timer_6", 1.0f, "act_ent6");
}
void act_ent6(string &in asTimer){
        SetEntityActive("note_6", true);
        AddTimer("timer_7", 1.0f, "act_ent7");
}
void act_ent7(string &in asTimer){
        SetEntityActive("note_7", true);
        StartPlayerLookAt("note_8", 7, 7, "");
        AddTimer("timer_8", 1.0f, "act_ent8");
}
void act_ent8(string &in asTimer){
    SetEntityActive("note_8", true);
        StartPlayerLookAt("note_1", 15, 15, "");
        StopPlayerLookAt();
}

So what happens is the player clicks on a book and all the pages fall out, One page after the other so the player gets some manner of idea as which to pic up first.

Well, the timers can be changed to this.

Code:
void pages(string &in asEntity){
    CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("particle", "Paper_Blow_Fall.ps", "particle_spawner", false);
    AddPlayerBodyForce(-20000, 0, 0, false);
    AddTimer("timer_1", 1.0f, "timer");
    AddTimer("timer_10", .5f, "timer");
}

void timer(string &in asTimer)
{
     if(asTimer == "timer_1"){
          SetEntityActive("note_1", true);
          StartPlayerLookAt("note_1", 10, 10, "");
          AddTimer("timer_2", 1.0f, "act_ent2");
     }
     else if(asTimer == "timer_10"){
          SetEntityActive("fakebook", true);
          AddPropForce("fakebook", -150, -30,  0, "world");
          PlayGuiSound("book_paper_fall.ogg", 1.0f);
     }
}

Or this:

Code:
void pages(string &in asEntity){
    CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("particle", "Paper_Blow_Fall.ps", "particle_spawner", false);
    AddPlayerBodyForce(-20000, 0, 0, false);
    AddTimer("timer", 1.0f, "timer");
    AddTimer("timer_10", .5f, "sound1");
}

void sound1(string &in asTimer)
{
     SetEntityActive("fakebook", true);
     AddPropForce("fakebook", -150, -30,  0, "world");
     PlayGuiSound("book_paper_fall.ogg", 1.0f);
}

void timer(string &in asTimer)
{
     string sEvent = asTimer;
     float fEventSpeed = 1.0f;
     bool bPauseAtStep = false;
     AddLocalVarInt(asTimer, 1);
    
     switch(GetLocalVarInt(sEvent))
     {
          case 1:
                SetEntityActive("note_1", true);
                StartPlayerLookAt("note_1", 10, 10, "");
                fEventSpeed = 1.0f;  //The time before starting the next case
          break;
          case 2:
                SetEntityActive("note_2", true);
                StartPlayerLookAt("note_3", 5, 5, "");
                AddQuest("pickup", "pickup");
                fEventSpeed = 1.0f;
          break;
          case 3:
                //Just continue your timers here
          break;

          //Called when no more cases are found
          default:
               bPauseAtStep = true;
          break;
     }

     if(!bPauseAtStep)
        AddTimer(sEvent, fEventSpeed, sEvent);
}

Well, there are two here. Hopefully at least one of them well serve useful.
