Screen Shake - Alento - 01-18-2012

Hello everyone!

I just started to do this. And i must say, it is sooo much fun! Big Grin

BUT!

I'm stuck.. I wanna do a screen shake when the player is in my "HangArea". Because when the
player is in the "HangArea", there is a corpse, hanging upside down, popping up .
I've looked around the forums for something similar.
But i don't still don't get it, how the script is supposed to look like.


Please help me someone! It would be so appreciated!


Thanks!

Use this code Smile

void StartScreenShake(float afAmount, float afTime, float afFadeInTime, float afFadeOutTime);
Shakes the screen.
afAmount - intensity of the shake
afTime - duration of the shake
afFadeInTime - time in seconds until full intensity is reached
afFadeOutTime - time until screen is back to normal

Thank you! Big Grin
If you want it to start shake when the player walks in to an area you need to make a collidecallback and then use the use screenshake without the void inside the callback Smile You get it or are you very new at scripting and don't know anything? Smile

haha well ya, with that said.. i started scripting like.. 2 days ago ^^
So, yeah, i'm a bit retarded on this Tongue i try as hard as i can ^^

but i really don't get it. i mean

this is what my script to shake looks like now:

void OnStart()

{

AddEntityCollideCallback("hangman", "HangArea", "StartScreenShake", true, 1);
}

void StartScreenShake(float afAmount, float afTime, float afFadeInTime, float afFadeOutTime);
{
StartScreenShake(3.0f, 2.3f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
}

{
StartScreenShake(3.0f, 2.3f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
}
Remember that when making a callback you need to use the right callback syntaxes so it should look like:

Code:
void OnStart()

{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "THENAMEOFTHEAREA", "THECALLBACKNAME", true, 1);
}

void THECALLBACKNAME(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
StartScreenShake(2, 2, 1, 2);
}

Have you changed the "THENAMEOFTHEAREA" to the script area?
