nope. i mean there was a feature in mfp where if you HAD the LANTERN, in another map, if there was a lantern in the ENVIRONMENT, it would still be set unactive. so you wouldnt pick up another lantern.

Oh, that would be using a conditional. You can do it one of two ways, by checking if the player has the lantern, or by using a global variable. For the sake of simplicity, you should just check if the player has the lantern.

You would put it in OnEnter();, since you would want to check this each time you enter the map.

PHP Code:
if(HasItem("lantern") == true)
{
    // SetEntityActive("lantern_1", false);
}

Thanks! that would be very useful. thanks once again! you ALL are great. but still with the main menu, need help. also i would like there to be a fade in and out when you turn off the flashlight

RE: Custom Main Menu Not Working - Mudbill - 08-15-2015

There is a check for using the lantern.

PHP Code:
void SetLanternLitCallback(string& asCallback); 

Use this and the callback syntax void MyFunc(bool abLit)

You can then use FadeOut and FadeIn.

nice, will be kinda nice, it may be annoying. but it is cool where it is kinda like trying to have your eyes adjust to the dark.

also how do you lay it out?

Pack your Full Conversion up into a zip or rar file. Upload it somewhere (like Mediafire or Dropbox) and post a link. I'll take a look at it.

Use WinRAR or 7zip. (for 7zip) Right click on your full conversion folder - highlight "7-ZIP" - add to "***.zip"

Example:

Create an account on mediafire and click big green button upload? Look it up on the internet how to pack stuff with WinRAR, I don't use it.
