#include "zcommon.acs"
This is the file that lets you
use all the fancy zdoom
function =D You need this
and all the acs files to use
zdoom specials. This goes
at the top.
Here is how you set up a script:
script # type
{
}
# can be any number, but you can only have
250 scripts.
Type can be the following:
(void) - executed by the player
OPEN - executes when the map is loaded
ENTER - executes when the player enters the level. Also, ALL scripts must be within the brackets. { and }
Here is the message script:
SetFont(const: "BigFont");
humessage (s: " this is a tutorial explainging\n\n",
s: "how to creat message.";
0, //this is what message type it is. 0 is plain, 1 is fade out.
0, //Message ID. no cle what it is.
9, //The color. This is white there are 10 more.
1.5, //x-axis placement
-0.5, //y-axis placemnet
4.0); //message hold time
Wow. Lets disect!
// This is a comment. This is so others, and yourself can read it.
SetFont(const: "BigFont");
This sets the font so its in BIG letters. If a font isnt set, It will go to the defualt small hud message style.
humessage (s: " this is a tutorial explainging\n\n",
s: "how to creat message.";
This is the message it self. Put \n\n at the end of it if it is longer then
it longer then a line, then continue it a line below. If this happens, put a , out side of the qoutation marks rather then a ;. The final part of the message should include a ; out side of the qoutationg marks. You do not need to type correctly, ie "Hello my name is Kyle." You can type
"hello my name is kyle." (my name is kyle =p) Anyway, Lets head foward.
0, //this is what message type it is. 0 is plain, 1 is fade out.
0, //Message ID. no cle what it is.
9, //The color. This is white there are 10 more.
1.5, //x-axis placement
-0.5, //y-axis placemnet
4.0); //message hold time
The comments tell you what stuff is =p
