Script help D: please

[Juby]

HPL2 is a very easy language to learn. I am self-taught, so I'll explain how I did it;
I started with this - http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/tut...cks_a_door
Bookmarked this -

Did this -

Then experimented a whole lot. Starting with trying to resemble some game scripts I've read.

Look at this: (HPL)

Spoiler below!

void InteractLargeGate(string &in asEntity)
{
PlaySoundAtEntity("guardboo", "guardian_distant1", "AreaLargeGate", 3.0f, false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("thunderboo", "general_thunder.snt", "AreaLargeGate", 0.0f, false);

PlayGuiSound("close_gate.ogg", 0.4f);

AddTimer("1", 0.4f, "TimerLargeGate");
AddTimer("2", 0.1f, "TimerLargeGate");
AddTimer("3", 0.6f, "TimerLargeGate");
AddTimer("4", 2.0f, "TimerLargeGate");
}

Then this: (GSC)

Spoiler below!

while(1)
{
players = get_players();
for(i=0;i {

weap = players[i] getcurrentweapon();
if(!isDefined(weap) || weap == "none" || weap == "zombie_perk_bottle_doubletap" || weap == "zombie_perk_bottle_jugg" || weap == "zombie_perk_bottle_revive" || weap == "zombie_perk_bottle_sleight" || weap == "mine_bouncing_betty" || weap == "syrette" || weap == "zombie_knuckle_crack" || weap == "zombie_bowie_flourish" )
{
continue;
}
if ( players[i] GetAmmoCount( weap ) > 5)
{
continue;
}
if ( players[i] maps\_laststand::player_is_in_laststand() )
{
continue;
}
else if (players[i] GetAmmoCount( weap ) < 5 && players[i] GetAmmoCount( weap ) > 0)
{
if (level.player_ammo_low == 0)
{
level.player_ammo_low = 1;
players[i] thread add_low_ammo_dialog();
players[i] thread ammo_dialog_timer();
level waittill("send_dialog_reminder");
level.player_ammo_low = 0;
}

}
else if (players[i] GetAmmoCount( weap ) == 0)
{
if(!isDefined(weap) || weap == "none")
{
continue;
}
level.player_ammo_out = 1;
players[i] thread add_no_ammo_dialog( weap );
wait(20);
level.player_ammo_out = 0;
}
else
{
continue;
}
}
wait(.5);
}

HPL2 can become very advanced if you know what you're doing, but almost all of that is not particularly useful. A great story can be made with an average scripting knowledge. Keep experimenting and finding out what works and what doesn't. Even try to make what you wrote as compact as possible. Learning scripting is great because you can do what you want to do

But, sometimes people just can't learn alone, so...feel free to PM me questions you may have.
