QUAKED scripted_sentence (1 0 0) (-8 -8 -8) (8 8 8)

OVERVIEW

Triggers a sound event on the client side associated with an entity in the world. It'll enable mouth flapping and all sorts of other cool effects.

• "targetname" : Name
• "target" : Target when triggered.
• "killtarget" : Target to kill when triggered.
• "entity" : Name of the entity that'll speak the sentence.
• "sentence" : Name of sentence from titles.txt.
• "pitch" : Desired sound pitch. May be overridden in the titles.txt entry.
• "delay" : Delay before it'll be triggered.
• "wait" : Delay before it can be triggered again? UNUSED RIGHT NOW.
• "listener" : The name of the entity we'll look at when speaking. Can be "player".
• "refire" : Additional time in seconds before the entity can be triggered again.
• "duration" : Time after which the target stops talking.

INPUTS

• "BeginSentence" : Starts the sentence.

OUTPUTS

• "OnBeginSentence" : Fired when the sentence starts.
• "OnEndSentence" : Fired when the sentence ends.

Member Function Documentation

AllowRefire()

void scripted_sentence::AllowRefire

(

void

)

Input()

void scripted_sentence::Input ( entity  eAct, string  strInput, string  strData  )

virtual

Called when we are being prompted by another object/function with an input message.

Reimplemented from NSEntity.

Restore()

void scripted_sentence::Restore ( string  strKey, string  strValue  )

virtual

Similar to NSIO::SpawnKey but for save-game fields.

Whatever you write into file handles within your NSIO::Save() method needs to be read back in here.

Reimplemented from NSPointTrigger.

Save()

void scripted_sentence::Save ( float  handle )

virtual

Handles saving a copy of this entity to a given filehandle.

Within you want to use the NSIO::SaveFloat() etc. methods to write the internal member attributes to the specified file handle.

Reimplemented from NSPointTrigger.

SentenceEnded()

void scripted_sentence::SentenceEnded

(

void

)

Spawned()

void scripted_sentence::Spawned ( void  )

virtual

Called when the entity is fulled initialized.

Any spawn key/value info pairs have already been dealt with. So now we can make full decisions on the entity. Always make sure to call super::Spawned(); inside your method when overriding.

Reimplemented from NSEntity.

SpawnKey()

void scripted_sentence::SpawnKey ( string  strKey, string  strValue  )

virtual

This method handles entity key/value pairs on map load.

You can easily convert the strValue parameter using the ReadFloat etc. methods that are part of NSIO.

Reimplemented from NSPointTrigger.

Trigger()

void scripted_sentence::Trigger ( entity  act, triggermode_t  state  )

virtual

Called whenever we're legacy triggered by another object or function.

Reimplemented from NSTrigger.
