Hi is it possible to play a video if an entity is shot at.
I would like player to shoot a camera which would trigger the video.
Thanks in anticipation.

Not sure we can call the video path from script yet. I will have to do some research.

Might only be able to assign the video thru the story zone.

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz, 2400 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s), 8gb RAM, Nvidia gtx660, Windows 7 Pro 64bit, Screen resolution 1680 x 1050.

I think at the best you can do is script it so that a hidden storyzone is spawned when you hit the enemy at the moment, I might be wrong though.

+ Code Snippet

-- Play Assigned Video If Entity Hit/Shot
-- cybernescence

function playvideoifhit_init(e)
end

function playvideoifhit_main(e)

if ai_old_health[e] == nil then
	ai_old_health[e] = g_Entity[e]['health']
	return
end

if g_Entity[e]['health'] < ai_old_health[e] then
	--PlaySound(e,0)
	ai_old_health[e] = g_Entity[e]['health']
	PlayVideo(e,1)
	Destroy(e)
end

end

Edit: I forgot to add some instructions. Copy the script above into a file and name it playvideoifhit.lua in the scriptbank folder. Then open properties of your camera entity and assign this script in the 'Main' property. Also set 'Static Mode' to 'No' (to make it active and able to run the script), make sure 'Strength' (health) has a value, say 25. And add your video into the 'Sound1' property slot at the bottom (place your video in the videobank folder and select it from there).

Cheers.
