A hint for you:

The object does not trigger because....

Canada's best since Neil Young. Period. I have to admit, they do a lot of covers (most popular perhaps their take of the Townes Van Zandt song "Waiting around to die" used in an episode of "Breaking Bad", season 2), but this is why I bought all three available albums from them (and I liked all of them):

Hello Dyger, I am very sorry, I did not foresee this problem during mapping and beta. The relevant command does not work consistently for reasons I do not understand

Hello Springheel, You are right, I have tried this once again and now it works as I always wanted it. Thank you very much for your help! I will adjust this for the two locations in question....and then I will post a release thread. Jack

You are right, sorry; I forgot to mention that. I have already tried someting like that with the "bind" command. I will give this another try before I go public.

Yeah this works, but this is a one way solution. What I need is that the guard would resume his original route when using the switch once again (because, for example, through afresh flipping of the switch, the trap door closes and the area above it is accessable once again)

Check my post on April, 25th and the following discussion: This was also the very first thing I tried, and I am sure that it dit not work which made me search for other options. On the other hand, with different objectives types (grab item "xxx") it works perfectly - I had such a set up in my first mission. Conclusion: - you can silence a speaker with completion target when triggering this event through a "grab item" objective - you cannot silence a speaker with completion target when triggering this event through a "high alarm" objective (and the other way round)

That was my first thought. The problem is, some of the completion targets in the relevant objectives are already occupied with other commands, and I think I cannot add more than one completion target...?

Hello grayman, Unfortunately, it does not work, and I did not want to bother you again with this problem. If ok fro you, I will create a pk4 with a quicksave shortly before the player can end the mission.

Yes, this is the only thing I could integrate into the mission. Turning the speaker off though does not work; the speaker needs to be teleported away. If I could teleport the speaker back into place once alarm level decreases and lute players starts playing the lute again, then everything would be ok. However, that does not work.

Thank you for your answers. However, I have already tried to move the nodes through movers , teleporters or change_target entities. Nothing worked. Are you sure that one of these methods should work?

I do not know where to post this (@Springheel: If not fitting, please move it to an appropriate section) If all mission objectives have been reached, the player shall says some final words.

1, AI walks from path note 1 to path node 2 to path node 3 2. Due to player's actions (using switches etc), path node 2 is not availably anymore (becuase it is maybe located on a trap door) 3. When path node 2 is not available anymore, AI shall go straight to path node 3

Thank you, Peter.

There is no easy way to make a luteplayer react to player's actions. Thus, an lute playing AI would be very helpful with the following properties: - variable skins - at a certain alarm level, lute player stops playing lute and so does the designated sound files...when alert level decreases, lute player, starts again playing the lute and the designated sound file start playing once again - at a very high alarm level, lute player drops the lute (and sound file stops) and runs away

Where belong the wishes for new entities or prefabs?

I thought this would increase performance ? The guards in question patrol mostly outside the building (I think I have sent you the map earlier and you have seen the overall layout of the mission).

Final adjustment for HHVF. I have set several guards to cast no shadows, but there are still certain parts of the body/gear casting shadows. I anticipate that's because these items are def attached. Is there a way to remove theses shadows as well?

John Campbell with his take of a LZ classic: The album includes also a cool version of Tom Waits' "Down in the hole" with David Lynch vibes.

Congratulations, that's it! I have already started it, but most of it still consists of blocks only. ...but I like Goldwell's try as well! ?

Sorry mate, The mission is not that expansive compared to HHI and I have already five testers. But I make it up to you. If you want to, you will be the first in line for the next mission, called "HH: TLC".

Good man. RL is prio #1, of course.

??? You give me too much credit! When will you have time to look into the beta for performance checks?
