Simple way to create an old-school First Person Shooter! · By
Hello, I'm new and I just download efps and I was wondering if is possible to add resident evil outbreak style inventory? I'm wanting to make a survival horror shooter like cry of fear crossed with lone survivor. Also what are the hard limited to 3d models and what is the scripting or coding like too? Thank you all for your time and have a great day.
my recommendation is to start out small with this engine. it's intended to make doom-style retro first person shooters. start with a small idea, get a handle on the basics of the engine, then try to break out of the box with your second game.
as far as your specific questions, i have never play re outbreak, cry of fear or lone survivor, so i dont know about those elements of those game you want to try to use in efpse. but atleast genre and thematically, you will definitely be able to make a scary zombie horror game.
Right thank you for the help and advice. I will say I'm going with a horror shooter mostly. The one thing I like from re outbreak inventory is it didn't pause the game so when you switch weapons or use a healing item you had to be in a safe area. Also what is the scripting like? I'm new to coding and never done it at all, so would it be a good start for a beginner?
so scripting in efpse is absolutely nothing like coding.
in efpse scripts are a set of commands that run in sequence
for an example of a very simple script:
vn 1
text "hello world"
map return
this script calls the command vn and sets it to 1 (true) ---- vn is visual novel mode for text and just displays text inside a text box
then it calls the command text with the text "hello world" ---- this will display the text inside the quotes
then it calls the command map return, which ends the script and returns the player to the game.
