Question: Scripting with a (*) - Rapture - 11-27-2011
Can anyone explain in more detail with the use of a * in scripting for Amensia? My code is fine in working, except when I tried to change this one part from a 1 to a *.
Code:
AddPropImpulse("FloatBox_*", RandFloat(-2,2), 1.1, RandFloat(-2,2), "");It works for the
Code:
SetEntityInteractionDisabled("FloatBox_*", true);So what's wrong with it? You can see now I'm trying to manually put in junk lines to get the boxes to work. But I'm planning to have over 200+ boxes, and I don't want to fill up the .hps with more lines if I can help it.
Code:
void OnStart()
{
AddTimer("FloatTime", 0.01, "FloatObjects");
SetEntityInteractionDisabled("FloatBox_*", true);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "BoxActivate_1", "BoxActivate_1_Start", true, 1);
}
void Intro()
{
}
void OnEnter()
{
}
//**********************************************************************************
void BoxActivate_1_Start(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
AddTimer("FloatObjects1", 0.01, "FloatObjects1");
}
void FloatObjects1(string &in asTimer)
{
AddPropImpulse("FloatBox_*", RandFloat(-2,2), 1.1, RandFloat(-2,2), "");

Not all functions support the asterisk wildcard. Better support for this wildcard will be included in HPL3, though. You may have to go with a for loop instead.
