SSP Pickups - Scripting

TheGreatStone · Post by **TheGreatStone** » September 9th, 2010, 5:26 pm

Hi all,
I'm pretty new to this engine, but I'm not new to coding/scripting. I'm working with a dev team that wants to make a SSP puzzle game, which means we need triggers or trigger-like objects. Triggers don't seem to work in SSP, so I was wondering if and how and where I could go about tweaking pickups to function a bit like one-time-only triggers or switches?
I've combed the forums looking for info and I haven't found what I'm looking for. My apologies if this question has been asked before.

Did you edit in fps/rpg or ssp? It makes a difference.

I'm editing in SSP.

Sup. I suggest the Launcher.

I think the real concern is that I don't understand the guts of the engine. I can't figure out how game_ssp.cfg interacts with ssp.cpp and myLevel.cfg.
If I wanted things to happen (doors open & close, etc.) based on the number of coins the character picks up, how would I do that?

a .cpp file is a C++ programming file, so I'd recommend YOU DON'T MESS WITH IT unless you're real f***ing good with C++.
It is possible to use scripting in the FPS mode, but not in SSP.
