A good day for both of us hark you got you splashing & i got my drowning lol

how does look ?
i mean natural does it still happen if your going slow like walking & crouch
or just when you run and jump, if you could refine it to do that m8 i think every ony with water would want it including me

how about you post your working script for others to see how it was done?
or did you use the script I posted with or without modifying it?

heres the link

i have a silly little question
i just seen some aswome birds takeoff fx in the editor
and am gonig to use them in my map to suprise players with them flying out of bushes ,& wonderd would this have to be a trigger box & if so would it be a trigger once ,so it dont keep looping while the player stands there.i need it to trigger everytime a player walks near the bush but not loop and not 1 time in the map round only if this makes any sense
simple question is does a trigger once play only one time in the map only or 1 once every time a player enters the area

i have not done any trigger fx yet this would be my first

i aslo would like to get the misc/paraboilc water fx to work but where would i place it?????

Ok where to start?
@blood

No I couldn't use yours, it was a little too simplified but thanks for trying.

The script was done by tracking player movement with the getvelocity and the GetStance command. (total pain in the ass since Velocity returns a vector)

Basically there is an if statement that says If(player is moving and If player is standing) then do this.

@Dobby
Yeah I noticed the hints not showing, lol.

@Alpha
Yeah good day, although that drown script has been there forever I use a modified version for my swimming pool.

Effect looks realistic, you even "drip" briefly stepping out of the water.

And the effect only goes off if you are standing AND moving, I'm incorporating a different effect for when crouched and prone.

As far as your birds are concerned, might not be a good idea for MP since it would give away a players position.

Now for the actual mapping/scripting of the effect you can do it several ways most require some scripting. I'm thinking along the lines of a timer or a count. You would most likely use a Trigger_multiple for it.

On a related side note:
I thought I saw a reset trigger function but I can't seem to find it now. You can also spawn a trigger so you've got plenty of options.

you know its posts liek this that make me laugh..

you come here for help people go out of their way to help you. then you make stpid posts saying yey i got it....

instead of posts saying... TUTORIAL !!! or here is the script for blahdeblah its bloody amazing how selfish some people really are

Lol, funny since I asked for help, didn't get any but still I answered every question as well as listing all the functions used.

A tutorial would be moot since it is a case sensitive effect not really general. And the majority of it is scripting and I'm not really great at explaining C.

m8 there is 100s of people having problems triggering effects on contract. any help to them would help your writing scripts so a little tut wouldnt go a miss in thanks for all the help that people have provided you with. and if their advice helped or not they made a effort to help m8 this community depends on people learning things then posting them for others. its not about people pinching your stuff or copying its about experienced mappers or people that can do something helpi9ng the oens that cant

I have no idea what you just said.

A tut is irrelevant since everything has been done.

Place a trigger_multiple where you want the effect played.
Everyone knows how to use triggers right?

Preload the effect in your script with ->
level._effect["Whatyoucallit"] = loadfx ("Folder/effectname");
Been done if several tuts here and on the wiki alone.

Write your script to define how and when to play the effect.

Functions I used;

GetEntArray and GetEnt ->
http://www.infinityward.com/Script/entity/getent.htm
http://www.infinityward.com/Script/entity/getentarray.htm

GetOrigin -> Where the effect plays.
http://www.infinityward.com/Script/entity/getorigin.htm

Getvelocity -> To see if the player was moving.
http://www.infinityward.com/Script/player/getvelocity.htm

GetStance -> If the player is standing or not.
http://www.infinityward.com/Script/player/getstance.htm

IsTouching -> If player is touching the trigger.
http://www.infinityward.com/Script/entity/istouching.htm

and finally

PlayFX - To play the effect.
http://www.infinityward.com/Script/effects/playfx.htm

Scripting Basics ->
http://www.infinityward.com/wiki/index.php?title=Scripting_Basics

Script Commands->
http://www.infinityward.com/Script/index.htm

I would have to write a tutorial on how to code with C+ and I'm not up for that. Everything there is already documented with relevant tuts here and on the wiki.

Whoah, slow down. It's great that he got it working, but he doesn't have to post everything up that happens just because it works. As he says, there are already plenty of tuts that together can cover this, and he's not going to be worried about people 'pinching or copying his stuff' because it's pretty much been explained here.

And how many times did you have to press post?!
