Hey

I'm preparing to start my first project mission, so I have two question about it.

1) First. Please tell me how I can do the written dialogues?
Like in this picture:



I only know how do something like that with recording voice, but I don't need it

2) How do enemy marine? I'm talking about changing soldiers class (just like in SP Blacklot)?

IF YOU KNOW ANSWER ABOUT ONLY ONE QUESTION PLEASE WRITE IT
I need your help.

I believe SP Backlot comes with the source files, you should look through those as they will answer your questions.

I check it, I find this in .str file:


I'm sure this is dialogue. But I can't find Americans Attacking in .gsc file. Please help me, how activate this dialogue?

he has it in his gsc this is the section:

setTeam( team )
{
	/*--------------------
	 CONFIGURES ARABIANS AS FRIENDLIES AND AMERICANS AS BADDIES
	----------------------*/
	self.team = team;
	if( team == "allies" )
	{
		self maps\_names::get_name_for_nationality( "arab" );
		self.goal_radius = 64;
	}
	else
	{
		// Couldn't figure out how to remove American names =0(
		// Null .name and .script_friendName cause switch statement errors in names utility
		// Not too important to spend time figuring out
		self.goal_radius  = 1024;
	}
} // setTeam()<br />
<br />

Yes, but I'm sure that is not all, cause code is compiling, but Americans are still our friends.
I also find these lines:

// Set Up Teams
array_thread( getEntArray( "arabians", "script_noteworthy" ), ::add_spawn_function, ::setTeam, "allies" );

array_thread( getEntArray( "americans", "script_noteworthy" ), ::add_spawn_function, ::setTeam, "axis" );

It's in global scripts, and next:

// Non-Spawners
array_thread( getAiArray( "axis" ), ::setTeam, "allies" );

In GLOBAL/MISC THREADS, and I think that's all.
But I don't know how paste it to my .gsc file, look:

#include common_scripts\utility;

#include maps\_utility;

#include maps\_stealth_logic;


main()
{
   maps\_load::main();
   level.player takeallweapons();
   level.player giveWeapon ("m4_grenadier");
   level.player giveWeapon ("colt45");
   level.player switchToWeapon ("m4_grenadier");
   level.player giveWeapon ("fraggrenade");
   level.player giveWeapon ("flash_grenade");
thread im1(); 
}


im1()
{
friends =getentarray ("friend", "targetname");
for(i=0;i<friends.size;i++)
friends[i] thread maps\_utility::magic_bullet_shield();
thread patrol();
}

patrol()
{
friends =getentarray ("friend", "targetname");
for(i=0;i<friends.size;i++)
friends[i] enable_cqbwalk();
introscreen();
}

introscreen()
{
	level.intro_offset = ( -20 );
	lines = [];
	lines[ lines.size ] = &"Twierdza_INTROSCREEN_LINE_1";
	lines[ "date" ] = &"Twierdza_INTROSCREEN_LINE_2";
	lines[ lines.size ] = &"Twierdza_INTROSCREEN_LINE_3";
	lines[ lines.size ] = &"Twierdza_INTROSCREEN_LINE_5";
	maps\_introscreen::introscreen_feed_lines( lines );
	
	level.intro_offset = ( 0 );
	fade_time = ( 8 );
	time = ( 8.5 );
	maps\_introscreen::introscreen_generic_fade_in( "black", time, fade_time );
	
	flag_set( "introscreen_done" );
	level.player freezeControls( false );	
} 


setTeam( team )
{
	/*--------------------
	 CONFIGURES ARABIANS AS FRIENDLIES AND AMERICANS AS BADDIES
	----------------------*/
	self.team = team;
	if( team == "allies" )
	{
		self maps\_names::get_name_for_nationality( "arab" );
		self.goal_radius = 64;
	}
	else
	{
		// Couldn't figure out how to remove American names =0(
		// Null .name and .script_friendName cause switch statement errors in names utility
		// Not too important to spend time figuring out
		self.goal_radius  = 1024;
	}
} // setTeam()

I don't have sections global scripts and global/misc threads.

yea the first part is just stating that all guys with the those key values at the time of spawn are assigned to "x" team. in this case either axis or allies. the other part is for the guys that are already alive in the game and dont need to be spawn at the start of the map. if you have more questions maybe pm the author of the script for some extra help.

Ok. So, if u want fight with Marines (just like in the SP backlot) you must:

1. Open you map and select all opforce spawn soldiers, and give them key/value:

Key: script_noteworthy 
Value: arabians

2. Select all spawn marines, and do the same, but with value: americans.

Save and close your radiant. Now write the script (in .gsc file):

#include common_scripts\utility;

#include maps\_utility;

#include maps\_stealth_logic;

#include maps\_anim;

#using_animtree( "generic_human" );

main()
{
	maps\_load::main();


array_thread( getAiArray( "axis" ), ::setTeam, "allies" );

array_thread( getEntArray( "arabians", "script_noteworthy" ), ::add_spawn_function, ::setTeam, "allies" );

array_thread( getEntArray( "americans", "script_noteworthy" ), ::add_spawn_function, ::setTeam, "axis" );

}

setTeam( team )
{
	self.team = team;
	if( team == "allies" )
	{
		self maps\_names::get_name_for_nationality( "arab" );
		self.goal_radius = 64;
	}
	else
	{
		
		self.goal_radius  = 1024;
	}
} 

And that's all.



EDIT: And if u want to create one friendly marine and second enemy, add this to ur code:

array_thread( getEntArray( "americans", "targetname" ), ::setTeam, "allies" );

And give ur Friendly marine Key and Value:

Key: targetname
Value: americans

Then u can see fight Marine vs. Marine
