Hi guys ,
I see now the only way I can find to completely kill the
RED_FOG_OF_DEATH
and the
HEARTBEAT_OF_DEATH_SOUND
is to go in and make the changes right within
GAMEPLAYERCONTROL.lua
but as soon as Game Guru updates it goes back to the same old.
There is no way I know , so far , to replace that .lua file in Playerstart
since there is no place in properties to choose maybe a changed one called
GAMEPLAYERCONTROL-b.lua
sooooooooooooo

for example..this works perfectly...by just commenting out these lines



let me know if you have ideas ?

thx

Just make a copy of it's contents and paste them into a dummy script which you attach to an always active entity.

When the script is loaded it will replace the default functions with yours. Remember to add an '_init' and '_main' to the script.

Thx AmenMoses ,
but wont they still be overridden ,
by the fact that the GAMEPLAYERCONTROL.lua
is still running its original code and updating while play is on ?

Thx

Also keep in mind that i think each time you update Game Guru, you may loss your changes to the global player script. So you'll need to make sure you have a black up.

What might help with this is if Game Guru had the ability to choose a LUA script for the player from the start maker similar to entities. However I can see this causing possible issues for new comers to GG who might mess around with that.

No, if you load a script any functions it contains will replace the ones with the same name that exist, assuming of course it is in the global namespace but I'm not going to try and explain that here.

If you have 200 soldiers using ai_soldier.lua there will still only be one copy of the script loaded in GG, if you then loaded a new script which had an ai_soldier_main function defined in it that would replace the existing ai_soldier_main function from that point onwards. (and all the soldiers would start using the new one!)

That is a solution but hardly very efficient, now you have a new script that GG will run every frame!

THx ,
THAT is the base script I alraedy used to create my own script to
kill the red fog and the heartbeat.
but it still causes sound glitches once in a while.

Ill keep trying and as always
thanks to you all for chipping in.

Better than smashing the wall though when the GAMEPLAYERCONTROL.lua resets
We just want an On \ Off tick box or a " players_noredscreen_heartbeat = 1 " in the setup.ini perhaps..

The " players_noredscreen.lua " is advantages though if you want to have it back on in Level 2 perhaps ?

Ahh, Lee defined it as a local so you can't simply override with the method I described, let me take a look at how he calls it from the engine and get back to you.

File attached, just attach to an always active entity.

I've added a Prompt to the script to show it is indeed running the replacement rather than Lee's version. Just delete that line when you have checked it works for you, then simply edit away to your hearts content.

ok THX AmenMoses ,
got it !!!.
for anyone that wants it now here is a copy of the playercontrol.lua that will totally
KIll the RED DEATH screen and the heartbeat one also.To make it work ,
i just attach it to a triggerzone and let the PlayerStart fall on it at the beginning of the level to
activate it and then. VOILA ! no more RED PAIN SCREEN or heartbeat sound.
Just save it with the proper name and as a .lua file..NOT .txt

let me know how it works as it did for me correctly.

Thx again for the insights AmenMoses

No need to do that … Just attach it to a dynamic model … works brilliantly
