so im trying to get my audio to play when i look at certain objects so i set up a trigger lookat and put the KVP's in and whenever i look at the trig the audio doesnt play so i was wondering if theres something else i need to do? and i have the audio converted and in the mod.ff i used ZK's tutorial

Never test a script by relying on an audio sound to play. There's too many "unknowns" and you won't know right away if it's your script that's broken or if the sound is broken.

Add an iPrintLn() that happens when the trigger is looked at - if you see the iPrintLn, then you know your sound is not working properly. If you don't see the iPrintLn, then your script is not correctly set up or the trigger you are trying to use does not work. I've never used a trigger_lookat - personally I would just make a trigger use, and then use the islookingat(org) utility function to tell when a player is looking at my trig.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

players = GetPlayers();
for(i=0;i<players.size;i++)
{
    if(players[i] islookingat(trigger))
    {

    }
}

Something along the lines of that.

No that's just a bit of example code.
You gotta get the ent of your trigger and set the variable "trigger" equal to it. The UGX wiki shows how to do this by using the getent function. You have to include that code also in a function that you create, and then even if you do have that you need it to loop as it will only check if the player is looking at the trigger once.

Not exactly specific documentation at the moment but examples are available:

so with the variables i just change "trigger" to "trigger_use" then "targetname" to the kvp targetname i gave in radiant? and then the hintstring would be the same targetname?

the variable can be any name you want, it doesn't have to be "trigger_use". I just used trigger as an example. the first arg of getent is the value, the second arg is the key(which is targetname). As for the hintstring you use:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

trigger setHintString("hintstring");

to set the hintstring. including &&1 within the hintstring will show the use button. For instance in script "setHintString("Press &&1 to Open Door");" would look something like "Press F to Open Door" in game, or whatever your use is set to.

so &&1hintstring will show the use button and the arrays are to bring down the line count?

Ignore the arrays unless you have multiple triggers, I just sent that link as it has an example of how the getent function is used.

alright does this look right?

trigger = getEnt("trigger_use","zk_eggtrig");
trigger setup();

setup()
{
self setHintString("&&1hintstring");

i got a bad syntax error idk if this is exactly right

include the trigger stuff within your function. Also you wanna use targetname as your key. You also probably don't wanna use trigger_use as your value as the classname has the same value.

when you say your function do you mean a specific spot in the script? i have this at the bottom of my mapname.gsc

{

trigger = getEnt("test","targetname");
trigger setup();

setup()
{
self setHintString("&&1 hintstring");

}
