[The Hankinator's UI library]

NM, I had a platform without any mass.

[The Hankinator's UI library]

I was doing some edits to the pause menu to make it pop up once the player starts the game-and it does. Unfortunately I can't seem to it so once the player clicks on Resume the script goes back to normal. Heres a copy of my most succesful attempt

[Sound Playing in FPS Player Script]

Okay Thanks!

[Sound Playing in FPS Player Script]

I'm trying to make a heart flatlining sound and edited my respawn trigger and FPS Player Script, however when I try to test the script, no sound plays. Rather than post the whole FPS Player script I only posted the used bits.

 

--Load shared sounds
self.sound={}--table to store sound in
self.sound.flashlight=Sound:Load("Sound/Player/flashlight_02_on.wav")
self.sound.damage={}
self.sound.damage[1]=Sound:Load("Sound/Impact/body_punch_03.wav")
self.sound.damage[2]=Sound:Load("Sound/Impact/body_punch_04.wav")
self.sound.pickupweapon=Sound:Load("Sound/Player/pickupammo.wav")
self.sound.footsteps={}
self.sound.footsteps.concrete={}
self.sound.footsteps.concrete.step={}
self.sound.footsteps.concrete.step[1] = Sound:Load("Sound/Footsteps/Concrete/step1.wav")
self.sound.footsteps.concrete.step[2] = Sound:Load("Sound/Footsteps/Concrete/step2.wav")
self.sound.footsteps.concrete.step[3] = Sound:Load("Sound/Footsteps/Concrete/step3.wav")
self.sound.footsteps.concrete.step[4] = Sound:Load("Sound/Footsteps/Concrete/step4.wav")
self.sound.footsteps.concrete.jump = Sound:Load("Sound/Footsteps/Concrete/jump.wav")
self.sound.music={}
self.sound.music = Sound:Load("Sound/Music/Heart")
self.bloodoverlay={}
self.entity:SetPickMode(0)

 

Script.heartFlatlining = false

 

function Script:HeartFlatlining()
if script.heartFlatlining == true then
 self.sound.damage[math.random(#self.sound.damage)]:Play()
end
end

 

Script.respawnPoint = "" --entity "Respawn point"

 

function Script:Collision(entity, position, normal, speed)

if(entity:GetKeyValue("name") == "Player") then

spawnPos = self.respawnPoint:GetPosition()

entity:SetPosition(spawnPos)

spawnRot = self.respawnPoint:GetRotation()

entity.script.camRotation = spawnRot

entity.script.heartFlatlining = true

else

entity:Release()

end

[Resolution Question]

Okay Thanks for all the help,

 

1440p is not supported by my monitor (I was thinking that you could downscale a high res image in Leadwerks)

.

[Resolution Question]

Okay Thanks.

 

However, when I try to set the resolution to 2560*1440 an error message pops up stating

"Script Error

 

attempt to index global 'window (a nil value)

 

Line 13

 

Any help?

[Resolution Question]

I recently changed the screen resolution in Main.lua and set it to fullscreen, I was however wonder if someone were to play it on a lower res monitor, would the game be distorted in any way? Heres my main.lua.
