RE: hps scripting and .lang errors? - Lizard - 07-06-2012
just so that i understand you right. I could do this instead?
AddUseItemCallback("", "asItem","asEntity","UsedKeyOnDoor",true);
PS. I did not press enter. It goes to new line by it self

I even checked the original game's .lang file; each journal entry is 1 enormous line. So long as you make sure "word wrap" is on, you can easily see all of it at once.Hmm, interesting because in my custom story it seemed to work just fine, but oh well it wouldn't hurt to make the changes, better to be safe than sorry. Thanks for the tip andyrockin123

The name of the items/entities in the "AddUseItemCallback" is what lets the game know what you're putting in the function. If you put asItem/asEntity in the callback, the game won't know what you're talking about.
AddUseItemCallback("", "asItem","asEntity","UsedKeyOnDoor",true);
PS. I did not press enter. It goes to new line by it self
AddUseItemCallback(string& asName, string& asItem, string& asEntity, string& asFunction, bool abAutoDestroy);
When you replace the bolded text with the corresponding items for this callback, you can now use asItem/asEntity in the function and the game will recognize it as the item/entity you originally used in the callback.
So if you use "key" for the item in the callback, and you place asItem in the function, it will recognize it as "key".
I'm a bit new to using this idea, so forgive me if the explanation wasn't 100% clear.

I dont follow you with 100%, but almost.
So instead of risking anything i think i'll use my old method, with just adding an extra o with every AddUseItemCallback
Thanks for the help guys
DAMN. No matter what i do, everytime i get to my fourth door, the games say that i cant use the key on the door.
This is starting to kill me
