I tried using plbiped it causes errors, such as parameter unknown plbiped, etc.

Ok maybe you should do a search in the templates forum or ask there.
Sorry I have no clue about the template scripts.

If I understand your problem then this would work:

Code:

---

sound statue_talk = <talk.wav>;
action statue
{
	while(me != null)
	{		
		if(vec_dist(my.x,player.x) < 80)
		{
		snd_play(statue_talk,100,0);
		while(vec_dist(my.x,player.x) < 80) 
                           { sleep(3); } //wait until the player goes out of range
		}
	wait(1);
	}
}

Hi JazzDude,

This gives me a

Malfunction W1501
Empty pointer in Statue: (vec_dist(my.x,player.x)<80)

This the error Thunder was talking about when you don't set the pointer for player. We are getting an empty pointer for player.

Hi!

write the line player=me; topmost of your models action.


If "player" is used by an other model you have to create an own pointer for your model, e.g.: entity* my_player; write the line my_player=me; topmost of your models action and replace all "player" with "my_player" in the music-scripts above.


The best is you learn to understand how to work with pointer/handles/entities/...

@Mercuryus:
He is using the templates, so the easiest thing would be to find out what entity pointer the templates_6 movement uses for the player entity.

Looking at the plbiped01 it seems to be using "my" as the player entity. But I am not sure.

I am trying to learn and understand the pointer/handles/entity and how they work, which is why I am having this problem. Now Mercurvus I am not sure where you want me to place these entity pointers. The player model is attached to plbiped01.wdl.

When I created my script file I used _A6_template_project.

No the pointer is actually:
plBiped01_entity

At least thats what I see from looking at the plBiped01.wdl file.

Edit:
Code:

---

// set global player biped entity pointer to this object
	plBiped01_entity = me;

---

Thats the important line in the PlBiped01 action, as you can see it uses the entity pointer plBiped01_entity to refer to itself on a global level.

So do I set player = me or player = plBiped01_entity and where do I set it.

Thanks

Lawrence

No just use plBiped01_entity instead of player:
Code:

---

sound snd_hello = <hello_player.wav>; // your wav (adjust)

action statue {
var lv_snd_dist = 100; // 100 quants for play (adjust)
var lv_snd_hdl; // sound handle

  // wait for player...
  while(!plbiped01_entity){wait(1);}

  // statue loop
  while(1){
    // play when approaching
    if(vec_dist(plbiped01_entity.x,my.x)<lv_snd_dist && !snd_playing(lv_snd_hdl)){
      lv_snd_hdl=snd_loop(snd_hello, 100, 0);  // play the sound      
    }

    // stop loop
    if(vec_dist(plbiped01_entity.x,my.x)>lv_snd_dist && snd_playing(lv_snd_hdl)){ 
      snd_stop(lv_snd_hdl);
    }
    wait(1);
  }
}
