Collide Callback multiple times problem - pawsUp1703 - 12-26-2011
So I have a problem with all my entitycollide callbacks
When you don't change the map you can only activate it once as I want it to be, the callback is deleted afterwards.
But when you change maps and the get into the old map again the callback is resetted somehow..
is there a way to change that?

Put it to OnStart instead of OnEnter so it only triggers the first time the map is loaded

Why isn't it possible? Are you uncertain of how AddEntityCollideCallback works?

The collision callbacks you declare in OnStart shouldn't be removed if you leave the map before triggering them. If you find otherwise, try using a local variable to track whether the collision has happened, and in OnEnter, only add the callback if it hasn't been triggered earlier.

I desperately need the info as I want to gift the full conversion to my boyfriend as christmas present on friday and the only thing that doesn't work are the collide callbacks..

Why wait for a response? Part of creating a story is trying and testing things out. The game will save certain script mechanisms during the game session and afterwards when the player decides to save and exit: this if the script didn't request for removal upon being triggered. Unless you want things to repeat, setting collide callbacks (and other kinds of interactions) in OnStart is the practical method.
If you want other people to test your work, you can request for testers.
