RE: Need help with this scripting. - EXAWOLT - 06-29-2012
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "SetMonsterActive", false, 1);
!
false means that the area wont disappear after use
void SetMonsterActive(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("Monster", true);
}
///////////////
set the monster disabled in the level editor, and it will work!

Exawolts solution should work just fine. I'd put the AddEntityCollideCallback in void OnStart() instead of void OnEnter() though... maybe that's the problem?

I need it too work once because if the player unfortunately runs into the area again their screen fades out while the monster is chasing them.

Basically, is it possible to have the area work once until the player dies?

If I understood your question right, you want to use a part of the callback only once, and the rest allways? If so:
1 option is to make a local variable, which is set 0 in OnStart(), the stuff you want to happen only once gets an if statement to check if the variable is 0, and inside you set the variable 1.

How would that possibly look like?

Make sure the first collision callback gets removed when triggered. Then in the checkpoint callback, you can just add the same collision callback.
RE: Need help with this scripting. - Cruzore - 06-30-2012
example script:
PHP Code:
void OnStart()
{
SetLocalVarInt("YourVariableNameHere", 0);
}
void YourFunction(string &in asName, int alCount)
{
if(GetLocalVarInt("YourVariableNameHere")==0)
{
SetLocalVarInt("YourVariableNameHere", 1);
//and stuff you want to happen only once comes here
}
//stuff you want to happen allways comes here
}

just make 2 areas in same place. one area where the monster comes up, that will be repeated, an one for the fades that will not happen again, simply nuff said
RE: Need help with this scripting. - Cruzore - 06-30-2012
As I said, there are multiple ways. A variable is 1 way, another callback is the other. There are most likely more.

void YourFunction is the Function that comes from your Checkpoint callback.PHP Code:void OnStart()
{
SetLocalVarInt("YourVariableNameHere", 0);
}
void YourFunction(string &in asName, int alCount)
{
if(GetLocalVarInt("YourVariableNameHere")==0)
{
SetLocalVarInt("YourVariableNameHere", 1);
//and stuff you want to happen only once comes here

//stuff you want to happen allways comes here
