Scripted Sentence Help

I still don't quite get it until now... How can I let Alyx, Barney, or other NPC actors speak lines from the single-player game? Why is the sentence.txt I found in the .GCF file limited only to in-game combine chatter?

Do I have to use the choreograph sequence trigger for the NPCs to actually say something? If I make a custom sequence with new sound using FacePoser for my map, is that custom sequence saved inside the map file or is it a seperate file that I have to zip with my map?

Please... I'm desperate...

Better yet: Is there a good, detailed scripted sentence tutorial somewhere around the net?

OFF TOPIC: i know this guy.. /me waves.

Orphy? From Prefabland? Hmm... :razz:

I seem to have this new bug in the FacePoser...
Programming error: CMaterial System :: Bind NULL material

What does that mean? Aside from these strange messages I get from the output window, I also get this program crashing bug everytime I load a new model! What the heck is going on here?!

i personally don't know but we have some sharp cookies around here, perhaps one of them can assist.

try to keep the comments/questions one to a topic though, if something new crops up, start a new thread, but if its all-in-one dilemma, one thread will do.

welcome to the snarkpit,took you long enough :smile:

ask fishy, he is our local model man. assuming it really is a model issue.

Their was that stint on Warcraft... but thats over!

I searched everywhere in this site for a scripted sentence tutorial but I haven't found a single thing. I just wish someone could help me here! Maybe I will ask Fishy... but my problem isn't necessarily about the models... But I'll try.

In the mean time, this is my new problem:
How come when I made a new sentences.txt with new "sentences" for NPCs like barney to say stuff from the single-player game, when I load HL2 the sounds just won't work?

I mean, the NPCs just stand there despite the fact that I have a complete set of triggers to activate my custom scripted_sentence and I typed in the correct path of the wav in the sentences.txt? I placed the sentences.txt on the scripts folder on the HL2 directory... What am I doing wrong??

Someone please help!

i dunno about the sentences either, funny, i see you are not the only one too, because i see at least one other in recent history. :sad:

you may be the lucky individual whom came up with a new problem, and the answer may be slow in coming.

good luck.

can someone help this guy? cuz i need help too!

Nobody is going to help this guy because he had 3 snarkmarks on Jan. 17th. I don't think he is very active and I think that you should start a new topic.

There are other sentences_*.txt files you can use in some of the GCFs, get the sentence names from that.

this guys is a friend of mine and i would take it real personal if you didn't remember that.

his newness has nothing to do with this. its more likely that the massive influx of new questions moved it down the list till it was forgotten.

i will no more allow you to badmouth him, than someone bad mouthing you in another forum.. :sad:
if its exactly the same issue, he need not begin a new thread BTW.

I wasn't badmouthing him, I was simply stating that he doesn't seem to be an active member, I didn't intend for you to take me pointing that out so personally.

<DIV class=quotetext>dude, can you define exactly how many ways there is to read this sentence?</DIV>
<DIV class=quotetext>as i said, i would defend you elsewhere under the same circumstances. i tend to take it real personal when people be evil in this manner.</DIV></DIV>

The aim/point in this forum is to have one editing thread ever per question, so I don't want him posting in a new topic...

we have agreed twice in one day. perhaps we shouldn't press our luck :biggrin:
