Global function works now! No more help necessary! - Statyk - 12-23-2011

**
THE ISSUE IS FIXED, BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW IT WAS FIXED, IT IS IN MY LAST RESPONSE.
**


So I'm trying a simple little global function, where a player walks into an area in one map, and it opens (removes) a door in another. The games runs, so there are no typo errors, only problem is, the door does not get removed. Yet, when I set the "SetGlobalVarInt" to 1, the door is permanently missing >> I feel so close to getting this working, yet it's not. I feel I need the if function in a separate command function... Could someone help me out here?

global.hps
___________________

void OnGameStart()
{
SetGlobalVarInt("openlivingdoor", 1);

}



map1.hps
___________________

void OnEnter()
{
GetGlobalVarInt("openlivingdoor");
{
if(GetGlobalVarInt("openlivingdoor") == 1)
{
SetEntityActive("mansion_5", false);
}
if(GetGlobalVarInt("openlivingdoor") == 0)
{

}
}
}


map2.hps
_______________


void "hiddenname"_func(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
AddGlobalVarInt("openlivingdoor", 1);
}

I hid the name of the last function because it could contain spoilers. But believe me that it is typed correctly. It is also the working function name for a script area collision with the player.

Some other details:

- The SetGlobalVarInt, when set to "1", the door remains open forever (door is set inactive)
- When it is set to "2", the door is there, but when given the command "AddGlobalVarInt("openlivingdoor", 1);", it does not disappear...

As far as I know, doors cannot be deactivated

Of course they can. It's a swing door. If the door is disappearing on certain integers but NOT disappearing on others... It can be set inactive.

I also set it inactive in Sciophobia, so that's not the issue.

I've tried a couple of times to set the door active and inactive with scripts and always failed, then I gave up.
I tried it with mansion doors, I don't know if it works with other doors Undecided

According to what little code you posted, at that point openlivingdoor would equal 3. So it is working as should be expected. Or am i not understanding your statement here? If you meant something else, then i would like a bigger traceback from your code; that is, showing a function that is obviously for a collision callback yet not informing us when that callback gets called is a way of leaving us in the dark. Likewise, if that AddGlobalVarInt from the collision callback is within conditional statements.

Edit: A change in title, but no other information about the issue being solved?

I figured the title basically says it was fixed =\

But no, I changed the "SetGlobalVarInt" to 0 and it works fine. =]
