My bad, I meant 0248

This is 038B:

CODE

038B: load_requested_models

And this is 0248:

CODE

model.available(#M4)

Explanation:
0248 checks whether the specified model is loaded or not. But 038B stops the game and waits until all models are loaded, this makes 038B faster. The downside of stopping the game means that there will be a frame drop, but that doesn't matter because the screen is black anyway (faded).

Dutchy could have done the fading differently, but in my opinion actors popping up out of nowhere doesn't look as good as actors being there in the first place.

Also if you don't want to use models any more you should release them with:

CODE

0249: release_model #M4

Your script is not fading because (as I mentioned in the previous post):

CODE

fade 1 500 Use this to fade in: fade 0 500

I am not sure if you get me now.

All the troubles can be fixed by myself. The problem is the script bugs somehow on the "until", and it just won't continue.
I found a solution, but it is a lil' bit trouble some, I need to do:

CODE

[code] jump @NEW_LABEL :NEW_LABEL if <condition> else_jump @NEW_LABEL and the actions after fulfilling condition go here

It works just like "until", but as I said, is way more troublesome :|

[Asepl]

For example, this script works: (with few new features)

CODE

@Bad.boy! :
to clarify:
"fade 0" turns screen to black
"fade 1" turns screen on again

@ts:

The code below works.
The main problem was the if-construction for the "loaded" check, which had 9 conditions. It seems that this
messes up the high-level syntax constructs (repeat-until loops) processing by sanny-builder.

But as Bad.boy! pointed out, you don't need the check if you use 038B, so I removed it.
I've moved the fade out before the 038B, to hide the short framefreeze from sight.

BTW. I usually don't bother with the "repeat-until not fading" check. I just put a "wait 500" after the "fade 0". and usually just keep going after the "fade 1"

Nice, this works

That's a great lesson for me

New question coming up.
I saw people making "talking" in their missions. I wonder if it is possible to display such text without editing the GTX files?

It is, but not advisable to use in strictly main.scm mods.

[Asepl]

So I guess I have to use the GXT editor and just add my own texts, right?

Yeah I know that, but in his original code he faded in, out and then out again. So I thought he wanted to fade in.

Also a slight note in the Asepl's code, put the "wait 0" in front of the if statement or after the else_jump.

CODE

:CHECK3 if 02D8:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR current_weapon == 22 wait 0 // <--Shouldn't be here else_jump @CHECK3

[Asepl]

Uh. How can I make an invisible if-area ?

I can only make a visible one

[arijitsen]

Do you mean creating an invisible sphere ??:

CODE

00FF:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR sphere 1 in_sphere $X_JOHNSON_HOUSE $Y_JOHNSON_HOUSE $Z_JOHNSON_HOUSE radius 1.0 1.0 2.0 on_foot

[Bad.boy!]

I don't know what you mean with an invisible "if-area", but if you're talking about invisible sphere, you just need to set "sphere 0".

CODE

00EC:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR sphere 0 near_point 1812.369 -1929.922 radius 80.0 80.0 // <-- invisible 00EC:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR sphere 1 near_point 1812.369 -1929.922 radius 80.0 80.0 // <-- visible

[Asepl]

Thanks, works

Bump, new question.

Does anyone know, how to remove the "gang tagging" animation after one one actor kills the other one?
