///// need add FX in this function. help

One thing: you're deleting the trigger before setting its hint, so it won't work.
And for the fx, you can use this function:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

playFx( level._effect[ "REFERENCE_OF_THE_FX" ], <origin_of_fx> );

/////// This example does not work

Code Snippet

Plaintext

secret_item()
{
	assert( IsDefined( self.script_sound ) );

	self PlayLoopSound( self.script_sound );

	brain = getEnt("secret_zombie_brain3","targetname");
	trig = getEnt("secret_trigger3","targetname");

	trig waittill("trigger");
	trig delete();
	trig SetCursorHint( "HINT_NOICON" );
	trig setHintString("DOOR_UNLOCKED");
 
	iPrintLnBold("You have found a serect zombie brain");
 
	brain delete();
	wait 0.1;
	self.zombie_brain_num = self.zombie_brain_num + 1;

	thread army_door();

		players = get_players();
		for(i=0;i<players.size;i++)
	{
		players[i] playsound("zombie_head_gib" );
		PlayFx( level._effect["headshot"], self.origin );
	}
}

I'm not a scripter. you can show me the right example?

Your script is thread on level it looks like, and would throw an error if testing in devscript with the first assert, I assume.

I would start tweaking your script like this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#include maps\_music;
#include common_scripts\utility; 
#include maps\_zombiemode_utility;
#include maps\_utility;

main()
{
	brainTrigs = GetEntArray( "secret_trigger","targetname" );	
	level.zombie_brain_num = brainTrigs.size;
	array_thread( brainTrigs,::secret_item );	
}
//Secret_zombie_brains
secret_item()
{
	//put the script_sound kvp on the trigger
	assert( IsDefined( self.script_sound ) );

	self PlayLoopSound( self.script_sound );
	/*
	delete the targetname of the brain, and
	make each brain the target of the trigger by selecting the trig, then the brain, then pressing w
	*/
	brain = getEnt(self.target,"targetname");
	self SetCursorHint( "HINT_NOICON" );
	self setHintString("DOOR LOCKED");
	self waittill("trigger");
	self setHintString("DOOR_UNLOCKED");
	self delete();

	iPrintLnBold("You have found a serect zombie brain");
 
 
	PlayFx( level._effect["headshot"], brain.origin );
	players = get_players();
	brain playsound("zombie_head_gib" );

	brain delete();
	level.zombie_brain_num--;
	if(level.zombie_brain_num<=0){
		thread army_door();
 
	}
}
army_door()
{
 
	door1 = getEnt("secret_doors01","targetname");
 
	players = get_players();
	for(i=0;i<players.size;i++)
	players[i] playsound("bridge_lower");
 
	door1 movez(128, 4);  
 
	self.gate_is_moving = "true";
 
	wait 1;
	iPrintLnBold("Well Done, You have opened the Secret Door");
	wait 3;
	door1 delete();
}

You'll notice there is only one function for your secret items now. You will need to make radiant changes for this to work, such as giving all the triggers the same targetname kvp of secret_trigger and deleting the targetname of each brain, and then selecting first the trigger and then the brain, and then pressing W. Resulting in a auto numbered link between them as target and targetname. You would add the script_sound kvps to your trigger also.

Once that is done and compiled this method will work better. As far as the fx, you are simply trying to play it after there is no record of the origin, cause the object was deleted in previous steps, or self is level?
