I suggest you try to imagine writing a script with no C++ references.

Here are your Amnesia references: http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/amn..._functions

I know, but I need to function on C++, because it ,,Engine Sripts``,does`t help me(.

Is there something you don't understand about the Engine Scripts page?

If you want to make level scripts for this game, C++ will not work. Never ever.
You can't use C++ at all.
Some of the code may look like C++, but it's not C++.
It's a completely different language called AngelScript, together with a set of functions documented on the Engine Scripts page.
That's all you can use. No C++.

But I've read,that can write your function on C++.

[Mudbill]

Where? Because it's wrong.

[Icaab2608]

Where? Because it's wrong.

Possibly all, that is possible to submit.

Yes!

[Mudbill]

I don't think you understand what we meant.

Where did you hear that you can write C++ for Amnesia? I was saying that the source is probably incorrect.

Romulator asked (I assume) what part of the Engine Scripts you don't understand, so that we can try explaining it to you.

[Mudbill]

The explanation below each of them should tell you roughly what it does. For example the first one:

PHP Code: (Select All)

float RandFloat(float afMin, float afMax); 


This function will return a random value between the specified minimum and maximum values. The data type will be a float. If you know C++, you know what a float is.

Let's say you have this:

PHP Code: (Select All)

float f1 = 1.0f;

float f2 = RandFloat(0.0f, 4.0f);

if(f2 < f1) {
    //execute script.
} 


This example effectively returns a 20% chance of the if-statement being accepted. f1 is valued at 1, and f2 has a completely random value between 0 and 4 (inclusive). If f2 turns out to become 0, then the if-statement passes because f2 is less than f1. If f2 turns out to randomly become either 1, 2, 3 or 4, then it does not pass.

That's just one example of course. I can't explain all those in detail, but they are used in combination with other scripts on the page.

You should focus on the more action-like ones to get used to how they work. The ones like PlaySoundAtEntity or AddEntityCollideCallback or SetEntityActive should be interesting to check out.

If there's something you don't know what does, you can either try it or just not use it. There's nothing forcing you into using every script listed.
