Glados Death Responses

#1 · April 8, 2012, 5:07 pm

Any way to make Glados say stuff in co-op when the player falls into acid or dies?

I already have the 'mp_coop_glados_ents' instance in the map but it doesn't trigger anything. Is there a script that allows you to do this?

Decompiling is your friend.

Valve uses a generic_actor called @glados which plays various scene files from glados_coop.nut. When the player dies "BotDeath(player,dmgtype)" activates.

Code: Select all: function BotDeath(player,dmgtype) { local curTime=Time() if (curTime-LastDeathTime<10){ return } LastDeathTime=Time() if (curMapName == "mp_coop_tbeam_polarity3" && mp_coop_tbeam_polarity3deathblue==1 && player== coopBlue){ mp_coop_tbeam_polarity3deathblue=2 GladosPlayVcd(1322) return } ....

Inside that current function there is a number of different if statements which will make GLaDOS speak depending on who dies and where. (e.g. in mp_coop_rat_maze there is a script function called to tell if the player is in the maze or not and if they were crushed)

Your options here are:

Manually play GLaDOS' sounds through ambient_generics whenever your players die
Pass through your own scene commands GladosPlayVcd(int) function, through @glados's RunScriptCode output
Make your own custom Glados.nut and put in your GladosPlayVcd(int) based on your mapname
Find the scene you want to play and use a logic_choreographic_scene
