RE: How to make a "Wait" in the script. - iFondue - 04-10-2012
You mean like that, do you?
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player" , "ScriptArea_1" , "LightOn" , true , 1);
}
////////////////////////////
// Run when entering map
void OnEnter()
void LightOn(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player" , "ScriptArea_1" , "LightOn" , true , 1);
StartPlayerLookAt("LookFrame", 20, 50, "");
SetLampLit("candlestick_1", true, true);
SetLampLit("candlestick_2", true, true);
AddTimer("light1", 0.5f, "TimerLight");
AddTimer("light2", 1, "TimerLight");
AddTimer("stopeffects", 1.2f, "TimerLight");
}
void TimerLight(string &in asTimer)
{
if(asTimer == "light1")
{
SetLampLit("candlestick_3", true, true);
SetLampLit("candlestick_4", true, true);
}
if(asTimer == "light2")
{
SetLampLit("candlestick_5", true, true);
SetLampLit("candlestick_6", true, true);
}
if(asTimer == "stopeffects")
{
StopPlayerLookAt();
}
}
It's always the same... the two first lamps lit, and all the others not...

My next question is, are there entities named "candlestick_3", 4, 5, and 6 on the map?
It should also be
void OnEnter()
{
}
Do you have a map_cache? If so, delete it.
RE: How to make a "Wait" in the script. - iFondue - 04-10-2012
Yes there are candlestick_1, candlestick_2, candlestick_3 .....4,5,6 up to 12!
Changed the { } at on Enter, and deleted the cache.
Now the error comes: FATAL ERROR Could not load Script File.
Main (15/7) Expected '('
Main (32/7) Expected '('
What did I forget?
RE: How to make a "Wait" in the script. - Putmalk - 04-10-2012
Can you post the entire script (encase it in the code tags and the spoilers) so I can fully look at it.
By the way, the reason nothing was changing before was because of that cache.
I need the whole script so I can find the line numbers in my own scripting editor.
RE: How to make a "Wait" in the script. - iFondue - 04-10-2012
Sure here it is:
Code:
////////////////////////////
// Run first time starting map
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player" , "ScriptArea_1" , "LightOn" , true , 1);
}
////////////////////////////
// Run when entering map
void OnEnter()
{
void LightOn(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player" , "ScriptArea_1" , "LightOn" , true , 1);
StartPlayerLookAt("LookFrame", 20, 50, "");
SetLampLit("candlestick_1", true, true);
SetLampLit("candlestick_2", true, true);
AddTimer("light1", 0.5f, "TimerLight");
AddTimer("light2", 1, "TimerLight");
AddTimer("stopeffects", 1.2f, "TimerLight");
}
void TimerLight(string &in asTimer)
{
if(asTimer == "light1")
{
SetLampLit("candlestick_3", true, true);
SetLampLit("candlestick_4", true, true);
}
if(asTimer == "light2")
{
SetLampLit("candlestick_5", true, true);
SetLampLit("candlestick_6", true, true);
}
if(asTimer == "stopeffects")
{
StopPlayerLookAt();
}
}
}
////////////////////////////
// Run when leaving map
void OnLeave()
{
}RE: How to make a "Wait" in the script. - Putmalk - 04-10-2012
With void OnEnter() you are missing an end bracket "}".
Had an additional end bracket at the end of "TimerLight".
The code should look like this to end:
Code:
////////////////////////////
// Run first time starting map
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player" , "ScriptArea_1" , "LightOn" , true , 1);
}
////////////////////////////
// Run when entering map
void OnEnter()
{
}
void LightOn(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
//we don't need this callback here, this is will only mess up the code
//AddEntityCollideCallback("Player" , "ScriptArea_1" , "LightOn" , true , 1);
StartPlayerLookAt("LookFrame", 20, 50, "");
SetLampLit("candlestick_1", true, true);
SetLampLit("candlestick_2", true, true);
//an alternate, time-saving way to do this is:
/*
for(int i=1;i<3;i++) //for loop will run when i is 1 and 2 only
SetLampLit("candlestick_"+i, true, true);
*/
//for 2 that isn't necessary but if you were lighting say 30 candles, this is almost a must!
AddTimer("light1", 0.5f, "TimerLight");
AddTimer("light2", 1, "TimerLight");
AddTimer("stopeffects", 1.2f, "TimerLight");
}
void TimerLight(string &in asTimer)
{
if(asTimer == "light1")
{
SetLampLit("candlestick_3", true, true);
SetLampLit("candlestick_4", true, true);
}
if(asTimer == "light2")
{
SetLampLit("candlestick_5", true, true);
SetLampLit("candlestick_6", true, true);
}
if(asTimer == "stopeffects")
{
StopPlayerLookAt();
}
}
////////////////////////////
// Run when leaving map
void OnLeave()
{
}That should be correct, but if you get another error just let me know.

OMG! Thank you so much Putmalk! <3
Now it worked! The lamps lit, one after the other! It's perfect!
You seem to be really good at scripting.
Thank you for taking the time for me!

(always delete that map cache until the very end).
And thanks mate.
RE: How to make a "Wait" in the script. - iFondue - 04-10-2012
No Problem!
Thank you, i think I learned a lot.
that's what important.
I will work on my map now...
Thanks
