I kinda need some help with using the right scripts for stuff and with nuetral purchase terminals. First off with the scripts. I was wondering which scripts to use for these purposes: 1.)Under the powerup's preset there is one called "stealth Suit" but it cant be picked up, how to get it to be picked up and to work? 2.) In some games they have it so where when you walk into a certain spot you become a certain character, how to do this? 3.) Heh well I'm thinin a bit outside of the box on this one but was wondering if there was anyway to make a GDI/Nod chopper come down and drop off some AI bots Listen Now for the second part, the nuetral purchase terminals. I run NR and you can make ppl be nuetral with it so I got the idea of putting in some Nuetral PT's. If you were on nod/gdi you could access them but not buy anything, but if you were nuetral once you accessed them the users renegade crashed. Anyways to fix this? Thanks a lot for the help!!!!!!

1) SSAOW stops it working, if you don't run SSAOW it will work.
2) Create a scriptzone on the map using level edit and attatch a script to the zone. You would probably have to make your own script to attatch, depending on wat you was really after.
3 part 1) Yes there is, this is possible using cinematics hooked to objects using the "test_cinematic" script. You wouldn't really have to write your own cinematic either, there are allot already made inside the always.dat, you could just adapt one. However you should know that when using this with SSAOW your server will crash when a ai bot kills a player, because SSAOW thinks the bot is actually a player.
3 part 2) I am not sure, I haven't tried.

For the character change, look for JFW_Zone_Character in readme.txt and use that.
It should do what you want Smile

The AI bot drop off from a Chinook can be done using Oblivion's Script Generator here

What you want to do is not possible with dropoff scripts (i.e. cinematic text scripts). You can do it if you are making a new map with your own stuff on it (in which case you attach the script to an object on your map)

Oh ok but what about that JFW character script that keeps crashing in level edit? Also, do you have any cool unique stuff I could do with scripts onto my mission maps server?

I run NR and you can make ppl be nuetral with it so I got the idea of putting in some Nuetral PT's. If you were on nod/gdi you could access them but not buy anything, but if you were nuetral once you accessed them the users renegade crashed. Anyways to fix this? Thanks a lot for the help!!!!!!

I am also interested in a fix for this...anyone?

That's because there are no neutral or civilian purchase settings, not possible.

Well is there some sort of a way to make a GDI or Nod PT accessible to nuetral. I know they can buy stuff with nuetral. If you press E on the PT then have the Host switch you to nuetral, you will still be in the PT and be able to purchase something while you are nuetral, but it's like a one time buy. But they could always make zones for character buys on nuetral.

For neutral spawn points just add a Renegade Spawner. What new game mode are you thinking of Nightmare? Tell Me

Well i bet there's a script to play a sound when you enter one. I haven't used one but i bet there is. Also if your worried about people not knowing where it is you could just put flares or something around it.

Couldnt you just add a custom crate?
I dont rememeber the stealth script off the top of my head but i think its near the very bottom of the scripts.

If I remember correctly, the stealth suit only works if 1. everyone on the server has jonwil's scripts.dll and bhs.dll, and 2. everyone joins before the crate is picked up. If a player doesn't meet both of those conditions, he/she will be able to see whoever picked up the stealth suit.

One way would be to have a script zone that triggers a daves arrow, and have the daves arrow play a cinematic file.
