SCI Syntax Help / Re: changeState woos
« on: Today at 11:53:04 AM »
Thanks for the reply. I think I was messing things up pointing to and from RoomScript and IvanaScript. I've made it a little simpler by moving all of Ivana's actions into her script. But I still have the moonwalk animation when she is returning to the counter after being at the soda machine, which is changeState 16 onwards of the IvanaScript. There is also the issue that sometimes she still walks off her path as indicated in the sreenshot2.
What is happening in the scene is the following:
Ivana is running her IvanaScript changeState 0 through to 7 (which is walking back a forward behind the counter. She will only stop if talked to by ego and this goes to changeState 8 to 11 then goes back to walking behind the counter changestate 0.
When ego presses the button on the soda machine with the said:
New RoomScript changeStates:
New IvanaScript changestate:
I've had to add in the Ivanascript changestates number 17 (self changeState: 18) otherwise it would not move onto changeState 18. It was getting stuck there for some reason? I forced the Cycler there to setCycle Walk also. Not sure if this is right?
There are things I still dont fully understand with the changeStates. When to setCycler, when to use Beg, When to use self. Does the order of the syntax's affect the outcome? eg: putting SetCycler: before setMotion etc.

When ego presses the button on the soda machine with the said:
Code: [Select]
(if (Said 'press/button')
(self changeState: 1)
)
)this triggers (RoomScript changeState 0 through to 5 then queue's Ivanascript on changeState 6). This then makes Ivana walk out from behind the counter using changeState 12 to 21 changeStates of the Ivanascript. New RoomScript changeStates:
