.hsc ?

I believe its a UI Event that comes up upon activation through a script.


Je crois son un Événement UI qui se lève sur l'activation par un script.


Lets hope the website I used translated it right :D

Laisse l'espoir le site Internet que j'ai utilisé l'a traduit le droit :D

[GAIGHER]

I can look into it tommarow for you.

Actually, if you look through the .hsc files for anything with game_difficulty_get, you should be able to find referances to it, since those things only pop up on easy and normal.

The script function to turn on the dialog box is (display_scenario_help <short>).

You need to make a unicode_string_list with whatever tutorial messages you need. Then at the bottom of the scenario tag, reference that tag in the "ingame help text" field.

In your script, display a message with the function I pasted above, where <short> is the index of the message you want to display in your unicode_string_list tag.

Starting from the Halo Custom Edition folder, where is the hsc file saved? It should be located in data/levels/test/insomnia_map/scripts/.

I'm pretty sure you know where it goes, but I just want to rule out anything you didn't mention or was not obvious.

Also, were you in the trigger volume for more than half a second? (30 ticks = 1 second)

edit:
Did you set your scenario's type to solo before compiling?

Moreover, do you have the ui_widget_collection and ui_widget_defnition files for solo maps? The HEK doesn't come with them; you would need to extract them from a PC map to get them.

[GAIGHER]

Ha! Is not valid for the multiplayer ? :(

[p0lar_bear]

Unfortunately, that script function only works on solo maps.

Oh, and your script is fine. FYI, having the script's contents encased by (begin) isn't necessary.

[CodeBrain]

I thought the problem was that it was not solo AND it had a 0 in the display_scenario_help part instead of a 1 (Turning it on, I think.)

The argument for (display_scenario_help) takes a short, not a boolean, meaning that it wants the ID from the Unicode String List containing the help messages.

Ok thx all


What is the script to message ?

(hud_set_help_text <hud_message>) (http://www.modacity.net/docs/bslbible/#F_H), where <hud_message> is a message label defined in a hud_message_text tag.

I doubt the script function will work in multiplayer, but you can give it a try.
