Hi guys,

I'm trying to make a script that is attached to an animated character, if you get within 1500 of the character it should play a sound, then if you get under 1000 then it will play an animation (it turns and walks away), then after one run of the animation it destroys the character.

Basically I want the character to make a noise when your under 1500 and then walk off and disappear when you get under 1000.

But it just doesn't do anything.

Anyone know what I need to do to get this working?

+ Code Snippet

function sneakaway_init(e)

end

function sneakaway_main(e)
 PlayerDist = GetPlayerDistance(e)
 Prompt (PlayerDist)
 
  PlayerDist = GetPlayerDistance(e)
 if PlayerDist < 1500 and g_PlayerHealth > 0 then
   PlaySound(e,1)
end

if PlayerDist < 1000 and g_PlayerHealth > 0 then
   SetAnimationFrames(34,54) 
    PlayAnimation(e)
end
end

function sneakaway_exit(e)
   Destroy(e)
end

basically you just need to check he's not already animating or it will get stuck trying to start (same for the sound)

+ Code Snippet

function sneakaway_init(e)
 StopAnimation(e)
end
 
function sneakaway_main(e)
 PlayerDist = GetPlayerDistance(e)
 Prompt (PlayerDist)
  
  PlayerDist = GetPlayerDistance(e)
 if PlayerDist < 1500 and g_PlayerHealth > 0 then
   PlaySoundIfSilent(e,1)
end
 
if PlayerDist < 1000 and g_PlayerHealth > 0 then
if g_Entity[e]['animating'] == 0 then 
   SetAnimationFrames(34,54) 
    PlayAnimation(e)
g_Entity[e]['animating'] = 1 
end 
end
if GetAnimationFrame(e) >= 53 and GetAnimationFrame(e) <= 54 then
Destroy(e)
end 
end
 
function sneakaway_exit(e)
   Destroy(e)
end

Excellent thanks Smallg, that mostly works, just one issue now, he doesn't destroy after one set of frames, he just loops the frames instead, any idea?

Just a thought, if checking the frames won't work, what about a 1.5 second timer between playing the anim and destroying the entity? How would I do that?

Ok, tried to put a timer in instead, it kind of works, the character destroys now, but almost instantly .. any ideas why it's not working?

+ Code Snippet

function ducksneak_init(e)
 StopAnimation(e)
end
  
function ducksneak_main(e)
 PlayerDist = GetPlayerDistance(e)
 Prompt (PlayerDist)
   
  PlayerDist = GetPlayerDistance(e)
 if PlayerDist < 1500 and g_PlayerHealth > 0 then
   PlaySoundIfSilent(e,1)
end
  
if PlayerDist < 1000 and g_PlayerHealth > 0 then
if g_Entity[e]['animating'] == 0 then
   SetAnimationFrames(34,54) 
    PlayAnimation(e)
g_Entity[e]['animating'] = 1 
  elseif GetTimer(e) > 3000 then
  Destroy(e)

end
end


end

getting a headache now lol

Edited again, I just issued the first frame check.
For the timer you need to start the timer otherwise it will be at past 3000 when you check it.

Thanks Smallg, I'll check it again when I get home, much appreciated, as you can see I'm really good at messing up LUA, but at least I try loll.

Right, I've just tested this out, and it works brilliantly!

Just one more last question, the sound keeps playing over and over, I only want it to play once, is there a way to do that?

Scrub that, it's not quite working right. Sometimes it will run the animation once and disappear, and sometimes it runs it twice then disappears, and other times it just loops the animation over and over again.

It looks like it's something to do with the sound part because if I remove the part that plays sound at 1500 then it works perfectly, and with it in the animation seems to loop over and over in sync with the sound until it goes out of sync and the animation ends in between the sound then disappears.
