Hello. I'm still new to scripting. I'm having trouble figuring out how to get a video to play using a switch. Can anyone help me with this?

I've tried combining the video zone Lua with the switch Lua but it doesn't work. I can't get a video slot to show up in the behavior like a sound does on the switch. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here you go.

(attach to an active entity, connect to a switch, select the video from the behaviours pane)

Awesome! Thank you. I'll try it today. I'll let you know if I got it working.

Works like a charm. Thanks again! It's much appreciated.

So the script I provided works when the entity is activated, i.e. by a switch attached to it via the blobby logic connection system.

To change this in the script find this bit:

if Ent.activated == 1 then

and change it to however you want to trigger it.

For example if you want to trigger as soon as the player is close to the entity and looking towards it then:

1) add this line to the top of the script:
local U = require "scriptbank\\utillib"

2) replace the above mentioned logic with:
if Ent.activated == 0 and U.PlayerLookingNear( e, 100, 150 ) then

where '100' is the distance to player and '150' is the angle within which the entity has to be from the players eyeline. Play with the values to suit your needs.

Thank you, i will try this tomorrow , youre a
