How to get if the player is near ?

[gasti89]

I've read some threads about scenes not starting. I haven't tried one yet, but i'm guessing there is something wrong/missing in the tutorial then.

Yes , I think so , too. I even deleted the package just for testing if he does his normal package instead so that it didn't work. But now they're just standing there , doing nothing. I don't know what I did wrong.

You can try one thing:

 

- create a quest just for that scene (if not already done)

 

- now take your trigger script and make it start this new quest myQuest.Start()

 

- mark the scene as "start with quest"

 

- unmark the "start game enabled" on quest data

 

If the actors go to the xmarker, then the scene starts correctly and we can concentrate on other issues.

i did what you said they're standing in front of each other facing each other, maybe its random , maybe its because I made them facing each other. Anyway. No dialogue shows up :(. Does it work for you ? If so, do u have a tutorial ? (which works)

The reason why I asked for more detailed info earlier is that there are a number of ways that you can use to detect if a player/actor is near. For example, instead of using a primitive and a trigger, you could have a script calling a "FindClosestActor()" or "FindClosestActorFromRef()" function for example. It all depends on what you are trying to do.

 

@killerj8: It sounds like your quest starts as it should but something is going wrong when trying to activate the scene. Could you post the scripts/fragments that you are using to initiate the quest/scene. Maybe we can spot some problem. Even if the script compiles, if doesn't necessarily mean that it will work. This may sound silly, but you haven't forgotten to right-click on your scripts and set the property values have you? I do that sometimes :ermm:

Problem solved. It was easier than I ever could have thought of. I just missed the audio files :facepalm: Thanks for your help though, guys.
