Scripting is complete UPDATE**

UPDATE**

Only left to do now is the objectives when selecting the scenario; otherwise the coding has been put to bed!

:D


______________________________

Hey guys an update on the scripting

Once Joel shares the script in the Defib (yes I can't believe I missed that it wasn't shared when I checked everything a couple of weeks ago), Then I can put the script I've made into the actual correct object.

Then all that remains is a couple of Patient conversations (for scenario's 4-6)
And those test says for the objects that require multiple user's to agree. I'm gonna clean those up to make them useful and not totally confusing as they are now

I'm also gonna make Says from the scenario selector; So that when a scenario is selected that scenario's objects will be sayed llSay(0,"This scenario's objectives are: blah blah and blah").

After those few things I'm practically done. I should be able to get those done on Sunday night. But I will post back here when they are all done to let everyone know.

Peace Out

(Can't believe how close it is now! :D)

User doc - video status

I've just completed capturing the user doc footage.
I've emailed an outline of the footage captured - let me know if I'm missing something.

As part of the user doc (dylan) we will need to outline the 3 stage process for accessing the simulation:
1. Creating an account
2. Obtaining access (request access)
3. Accessing the siumaltion

I've created a access request form and have created some screen caps for the admin user doc. Have a look at these and let me know if there should be any additions.
Dylan I have left the doc fairly un-formatted as i'm not sure how you are going to do these but i reccomend numbering the points and arrows.

That's A Wrap!

Chaddy and I have completed the recording of all of the cutscenes, with extra thanks to Matt for helping us out.

The acting was especially well done, although the same could not be said for the framerates in the videos. But I still have complete faith that the videos will get the point across.

Both Chaddy and I will tackle the editing stages next week, and aim to have them fully completed by the end of the lecture break.

I will have to put all these videos past our coding master Ben, to ensure that they are consistent with the simulations.

Peace Out

Update on the Completion of the scripting ***UPDATE***

UPDATE

Currently I have scenario's 1 -> 4 almost completely finished (barring some of the patient talking and connections for the rest of the module) i have the drugs for scenario 5 almost finished (most are done); And then I just have to do scenario 6 (which is just clicking on the paddles and then clicking the met team button - plus ecg monitor).

I managed to find some heartbeat sounds for the stethoscope in scenario 3 - try them out to see for yourself. Also managed to find a suitable alarm sound for the probe coming loose in scenario 2.

I reckon its really coming together well guys. Great job EVERYONE!!

I should be done in the next couple of days. (I'll keep you guys posted)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey guys

Just letting everyone know where I'm at so you don't think I've disappeared (of the planet!)

I won't have much time to script over this weekend coz I've gotta play Uncle In-Law (to my Nephew-In-Law's 1st birthday). But I'll try and get some stuff done on Sunday night.
Then I plan to get stuck in (and hopefully finished) Monday/Tuesday (22nd/23rd).

I'll make sure to Update this post (or make a new one) with any updates that are relevant for all to know.

Cheers

Happy Project doing break to all!

Updates

I have submitted a hard copy of the test plan to Charlynn and would like to congratulate matty for his excellent work on the test plan. I hope everyone has a relaxing and productive lecture break, and I look forward to seeing the final product come together. A lot of hard work has gone into this so it will be very gratifying for everyone when it is done and dusted.

Updates on the Scripting...

Hey all; Been doing some late night updates :S

This is whats been done:
  • Oxygen tank only functions (as it used to) in scenario 4; since that is when it is meant to be used
  • Therefore scenario 1 is totally complete, all the user needs to do is look at the patient, click on the patient to check him out; and finally turn the alarm off and move on (personal log and so on)
  • Scenario 2 is almost done; I have the IV stand and Mask moving into the correct positions since they need to be on the patient. All I need is to adapt the coughing (maybe a slightly different version of the coughing - more a asthmatic hard to breathe sound as per the case study) and the blue face/patient talking stuff
  • scenario 4 is done basically (since its the oxygen tank one
  • scenario 3 need to do the bleeding from the mouth stuff/ more talking patient stuff
  • scenario 5/6 don't have that much to do besides different talking from the patient and turning the other bits of equipment on
So yeah its definitely taking on a more complete feel since the scenario's are coming(ish) together.

Also I was able to fix that problem of the chest not responding to a change in scenario (dam timer events) by using a trick in the scripting. I've tested the chest heaps of times (and since its the way the arm shaking works as well - and they always have responded correctly :D) and its responded correctly each time :D. I also reworked the monitor thing so that it responds correctly to the scenarios (and fits with the rest of the scripts so far).
Also as I eluded to above when you left click the different objects they will say something (in scenario's 1,2,4 at the moment). When you click the patient's head he cycles through 2 quotes in scenario 1 at the moment (will expand for further scenarios) - I did this for the parts where the case study says "the patient is anxious and talkative and so on".
Also left clicking the chest says "chest is pumping fast" - this feature means that the user can appear to examine the different parts of the patient both visually, audibly, and by text prompt

Cheers

From your underground scripter... :D
