RE: Problem with "extra_english.lang" - Zaffre - 09-03-2012

Okay. This is how your .hps file should look. We'll presume your door's ID is mansion_1.

void OnStart()
{
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("mansion_1", "DoorLockedMessage", true);
}

void DoorLockedMessage(string &in entity)
{
SetMessage("Messages", "lockeddoor", 0);
}

This makes it so that when you interact with the swing door, it will display a message stating that the door is locked. The message will not be displayed again.

Sigh, I've tried all your advice and more and it still doesn't work! I'm so disappointed with myself, I feel like I'm letting you all down. I think we'll try one more time and if it doesn't work that's okay, you all have done enough already.

I'm going to give you all the info, hopefully someone will find the problem.

Name of Door: roomone
Active: Yes
CastShadows:Yes
StaticPhysics:No
IsAffectedbyDecal:No

PlayerInteractCallback: DoorLockedPlayer

PlayerInteractCallBackAutoRemove: Yes
Locked: Yes

OpenAmount: 0


extra_english.lang:



<LANGUAGE>
<CATEGORY Name="Messages">
<Entry Name="lockeddoor">The door is locked from the outside, maybe there is another way out of here.</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
</LANGUAGE>

hps file:



void OnStart()
{
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("roomone", "DoorLockedPlayer", true);
}

void DoorLockedMessage(string &in entity)
{
SetMessage("Messages", "lockeddoor", 0);
}


note: There is one other thing in english_Lang, a code for a note message, which works fine.

There is nothing else in hps other than the door code.

I can't find anything; it should be working fine. Sorry I couldn't help you.

RE: Problem with "extra_english.lang" - Frodos - 09-03-2012

That's okay, thanks.

If anyone knows the reason this hasn't been working please help.

How about the bold words? Wink You function and the function you call has to be the same. You cannot call DoorLockedPlayer, and then change the name to DoorLockedMessage.

Do i get cookie? Tongue

StaticPhysics:No
IsAffectedbyDecal:No
PlayerInteractCallback: DoorLockedMessage
PlayerInteractCallBackAutoRemove: Yes

HPS:

void OnStart()
{
//NOTHING. The callback is already set on the door in the level editor
}

void DoorLockedMessage(string &in asEntity)
{
SetMessage("Messages", "lockeddoor", 0);
}
