I am still learning T3Ed. I am not familiar with its scripting yet. I've made a list of things I'll need in my FM. All of them were possible in DromEd. Are they also possible in T3Ed? I am not asking about specific instructions on how to create such an effects. But there are many T3Ed experts (and there is Krypt) here. What I'd like to know is if these things are possible at all. What's your opinion? And if someone already has some suggestions / knowledge about such effects, that would be great! :) I'd like to know if I can do what I want (and what is necessary for my story) before placing brushes in the world.

[+] - It is in the game, so it should be possible.
* - As far as I rememeber, it's not present in the game.


1) Custom conversations with AI gestures [+]
2) AI disappearing after some time *
3) Combination locks (like the ones used with the safes) *
4) Frobbing the object makes the sound play [+]
5) Custom conversation starts after some object is frobbed, say, three times *
6) The doors opens only if the player has some object in the inventory *
7) If the player has two specific objects in the inventory, the third objects appears in the inventory and the previous ones disappear (after picking up the second object) *
8) The player can carry books and read them whenever he/she wants *
9) The door opens only if the player frobs few buttons in proper order *
10) If the player has some object in the inventory, specific kind of AIs ignores him/her *
11) If the player has some object in the inventory and uses it (selects the object from the inventory), AIs hurt him less *
12) Custom conversation starts when the player selects the object from the inventory *
13) AI gives player some object during conversation *
14) The player can use some objects (ingredients) on another object (jar) and make some custom object (jar with some substance) *
15) Some object is destroyed (if the player has another object in the inventory) and becomes flinders *
16) If the player enters some area, he/she is constantly (but very slowly) loosing health *
17) The player stops loosing health, if he/she uses some object *
18) The mission ends (fails), if the player kills some person [+]
19) If three specific objects are destroyed (eg. thrown into the fire), some AI disappears *
20) AIs with custom skins and behaviors *
21) Optional (visible) nad bonus (invisible till the player fulfills them) objectives *

So... are these things possible? Yes or no? Thanks in advance for your help! :)

I'm really not sure about these questions, so I didn't answer them: 1, 2, 8, 13.

3) Combination lock

Yes, Rantako made a working combination lock - see the wiki.

4) Frobbing makes sound play

Yes, this is simple scripting.

5) Custom conversation starts after some object is frobbed, say, three times

Should be.

6) The doors opens only if the player has some object in the inventory

Yes.

7) If the player has two specific objects in the inventory, the third objects appears in the inventory and the previous ones disappear (after picking up the second object)

Yes.

9) The door opens only if the player frobs few buttons in proper order

Yes.

10) If the player has some object in the inventory, specific kind of AIs ignores him/her

Hmm... bit complex, but sounds possible. I imagine it would be implemented using some combination of pickup/drop scripts and AI faction changes.

11) If the player has some object in the inventory and uses it (selects the object from the inventory), AIs hurt him less

Complicated, but I think it could be made to work, with effort. Depending on how you want to select the object.

12) Custom conversation starts when the player selects the object from the inventory

Select? Don't think so. Use ("I" key)? Yes.

14) The player can use some objects (ingredients) on another object (jar) and make some custom object (jar with some substance)

Probably, yes, in a limited and clunky fashion.

15) Some object is destroyed (if the player has another object in the inventory) and becomes flinders

Depends how you want to trigger that, but I'd say so yes.

16) If the player enters some area, he/she is constantly (but very slowly) loosing health

Yes.

17) The player stops loosing health, if he/she uses some object

Yes.

18) The mission ends (fails), if the player kills some person

Yes.

19) If three specific objects are destroyed (eg. thrown into the fire), some AI disappears

Tricky to get the destruction happening, but probably yes.

20) AIs with custom skins and behaviors

Behaviours can be tweaked. No idea about skins. I know we can do ordinary textures though, so quite possibly skins will also work.

21) Optional (visible) nad bonus (invisible till the player fulfills them) objectives

I think so.

Inventory books are in T3EnhancED.

Nah, not really. It's in the Wiki somewhere. I think it was ProjectX who did a write up on it.

(http://www.ttlg.com/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=InventoryBooks)

The only real change I made was that I didn't put them under the 'potions' archetype. I created a whole new archetype based on potions and called 'that' InvBook. That way, it's much move clean.

13) AI gives player some object during conversation*

Yes. AIs in conversations can't interact with Garrett, but you could make it look like they were with scripting (have them play an animation and add whatever objects to inventory)
