Error Message, doesn't specify what problem is - Rokotain - 12-31-2011
Hello Amnesia Gamers (and bronies!)
I'm sorry to bother you with my long list of help me! But in my defence, I've done the best I could trying to find out about this, before posting. I bother you guys as last resort : p
I have been working on the full version of my custom story again. And I've come to a problem I just don't get.
Looked trough the wiki, read guides, and searched a very long time on this forum, but no answers to it.
Problem 1.
The custom story works fine, until I enter my Studium Map.
The error message is as following:
![[Image: fatalerror.png]](http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/838/fatalerror.png)
I can't seem to find the problem for it, and I'd prefer not to post my script as it contains spoilers and is very long. Although if I have to, I will. I'm not sure if you get much out of that ^ without the script.
Problem 2.
I have an "if" script. The goal is to activate area1, which activates area2, which execute a script if the player collides with it. Simple enough right?
Problem is that I want area1 to only execute the commando IF the player has the lantern.
This is the script so far:
Code:
void IfHasLantern(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
if(HasItem("lantern") == true)
{
SetEntityActive("AreaLookGrunt", true);
}
}It probably needs an else, but I don't know the line for DoNothing or something. I don't want it to do anything if the player doesn't have the lantern yet.
Problem 3.
I still haven't found out how a player can, by looking at a door, get a short message saying the name of the door, or the area the door leads too.
Example:
Player walks up to door1 leading to the kitchen.
The player holds the cursor over the door, about to open it, then a small text displays saying, "Kitchen Door".
It's the PlayerLookAt callback I believe, but I'm unfamiliar with that :/
Problem 4.
Maybe the worst of them all?
Notes, Mementos and Inventory Custom Item Name doesn't display anymore.
They used to before, and I don't know what has happend. For main game items it seems to work normally.
I also have checked that both my amnesia and custom story is set to english.
Any clues about this?
RE: Error Message, doesn't specify what problem is - flamez3 - 12-31-2011
Problem 1
We need to see the script to help, sorry :/
Problem 2
I don't know much about IF statements sorry
Problem 3
I don't think it's PlayCallBack. I'm pretty sure it's a sign area. Go to scriptareas and on the dropdown box there is a option named Area. You will need to use extra_english.lang for this; again, sorry I haven't used this aswell.
Problem 4
You need to show us your extra_english.lang for us to help as well
RE: Error Message, doesn't specify what problem is - Rokotain - 12-31-2011
Thank you for answering what you did so far still :]
I will post it here, to make it less messy in the original post.
Also extremely sorry for such messy scripts, it only appears like this on the forum post : p

RE: Error Message, doesn't specify what problem is - flamez3 - 12-31-2011
Can you post your script in a quote? PhP really seems to not work properly.
RE: Error Message, doesn't specify what problem is - Rokotain - 12-31-2011
There, thanks for the tip.
Imo quote is much easier to read. Also looks better^_^
[EDIT]
I figured the problem to the error message. The numbers, 82 and 95, are the numbers of the two lines that had the error in them. I used notepad ++ to open and see this.
But everything looked fine at first, but I found out I had forgotten then ; which is always after a commando.
Like this:
SetEntityActive("example", true);
Thanks anyhow, and I still got 3 problems left : p
RE: Error Message, doesn't specify what problem is - Statyk - 12-31-2011
First off, to fix your .lang.
If there is ONE LITTLE ERROR in the .lang, the whole .lang will fail. The game wont tell you what's wrong, it will simply ignore it. Figure out what was the last thing you typed before the .lang failed and make sure there are no errors.
As for the lantern thing, You can simply put:
void IfHasLantern(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
if(HasItem("lantern") == true)
{
SetEntityActive("AreaLookGrunt", true);
}
if(HasItem("lantern") == false)
{
}
}
Also, you don't have to separate Categories like you did if they're all the same. This is just going to make it unorganized and hard to find errors. >> You only need one category for each group of entries following that category.
I went ahead and cleaned everything up for you. Also, I believe your issue was a missing "</CATEGORY>" for the custom story description. I added it, so let me know how it works. Just copy and replace everything in the original .lang. (maybe make a back-up if you're uncomfortable)
I left the .lang in a zip in the attachment below. It will have tabs and be more organized than pasting it here.
RE: Error Message, doesn't specify what problem is - Rokotain - 12-31-2011
Thank you.
I wasn't aware that you wouldn't need to separate them all the time.
I compared the .lang files and I really could see the difference : p*
I kept the one you made, as I see what you did compared to mine.
It's much more tidier.
And I also noticed the missing "/category" text you mentioned.
I still have problem 3 left though :3
The journal entries and item description now works just fine.
Again thanks.
RE: Error Message, doesn't specify what problem is - Statyk - 12-31-2011
Problem 3:
Make a script area around the door, go into the "area" tab on the right and fill in the PlayerLookAtCallback box with "kitchenlookat" and make sure "PlayerLookAtCallbackAutoRemove" is checked, then go into your .hps and anywhere in it, put this, changing caps with your info:
//__________________________
void kitchenlookat(string &in asEntity, int alState)
{
SetMessage("MESSAGE_CATEGORY", "MESSAGE_ENTRY", 4);
}

But what should I put in the message category? I tried something similar once, but just got error.
Would you please post an example^^?
