Best asking a programmer Razz

Thats what I was asking for, I already make my own scripts, I just need to see how a script that sent random customs would look.

Random as in "any number within a certain range" or random as in "pick one of n different customs at random"?

Also, how should it trigger?

I figured that last one out a week or so ago.
But I have a new question.
How would I set up a script that makes a sound when you armor gets low? I have attempted it for several hours and I have noticed that there are no scripts that do something when your armor gets so low. When I get home in two hours I'm going to try something simpler, and if that doesn't work then I have absolutely no clue as what to do.

Use the ::Damaged event

Then use Commands->Get_Shield_Strength to find out how much armour is left ( Commands->Get_Health for health )

If it's below a certain amount send the sound.

Ya, I know that, it works fine for the health but not the shield.

It turns out that I miss named one of the float parameters.
He is a bit harder question, how would I make a script that would detect if an object has been or being repaired. I have tried before but it ended up doing nothing, and I want it to reupdate the present health the object has about every 10th of a second. Sends a custom every time it increases one health. And it should not be able to send another custom until it has dropped at least 1 health (damaged). A detailed explanation would be appreciated!

use the ::Damaged event Wink

Check the amount of damage, if it is negative then its actually being repaired Wink

Really, I did not know repairing is negative damage, how could I have been modding Renegade for over 2 years and have missed that (sarcasm). I'm not a noob, and you sound like a broken record. Use the ::Damaged event, Use the ::Damaged event. Did you even read the whole question? I asked how it would be set up to send a custom, and then not be able to send another custom until it was damaged. And anyone who as looked at the armor file would no the repair gun did negative damage.

I also figured out how do do it a different way!

I have no idea what your background is in modding scripts.dll, so excuse me for not being psychic Sarcasm

Sending a custom only once is fairly easy, just add a bool to your scripts class, and set it to true once the custom has been sent. Then when checking if you should send the custom, check to see if the bool is true or not.

Use a timer to set the boolean back to it's off state, so the health can be sent again.
