How to activate entities ?? - FinBanana - 01-31-2012

I have a problem. Again.. lol : D
But yeah, about the problem:
I have a room that has a key in it. When I pick up the key, the script is supposed to create a couple of those knight armours in the hallway outside the room. They just don't appear when I pick up the key.
I wish someone could tell how to make entities appear when a specific action is done.

Thanks.

Are you using: SetEntityActive(string& asName, bool abActive);

Yeah.

Ok. would be a bit easier if I could see your script Wink

but are you using this line for when the player pick up the key: SetEntityCallbackFunc(string& asName, string& asCallback);
Calls a function when the player interacts with a certain entity.
Callback syntax: void MyFunc(string &in asEntity, string &in type)
Type depends on entity type and includes: “OnPickup”, “Break”, “OnIgnite”, etc

Here it is:
The bolded lines are the ones that should create the armors.
Lines 1-23

void OnStart()
{
AddUseItemCallback("", "key_study_1", "castle_7", "UsedKeyOnDoor2", true);
AddUseItemCallback("", "KeyOH", "castle_4", "UsedKeyOnDoor1", true);
AddUseItemCallback("", "KeyOH", "castle_6", "UsedKeyOnDoor1", true);
AddUseItemCallback("", "key_study_2", "castle_8", "UsedKeyOnDoor3", true);
AddUseItemCallback("", "key_study_3", "castle_9", "UsedKeyOnDoor4", true);
AddUseItemCallback("", "key_study_3", "castle_10", "UsedKeyOnDoor5", true);
AddUseItemCallback("", "key_study_4", "castle_12", "UsedKeyOnDoor6", true);
AddUseItemCallback("", "key_laboratory_1", "castle_11", "UsedKeyOnDoor7", true);
AddUseItemCallback("", "key_1tohall", "1tohall_1", "UsedKeyOnLevelDoor1", true);
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("key_study_2", "Pickup1", true);
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("key_study_3", "Scare3", true);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "Scare1", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_2", "Scare2", true, 1);
}

void Pickup1(string& asName, bool abActive)
{
SetEntityActive("armor1", true);
SetEntityActive("armor2", true);
SetEntityActive("armor3", true);
}

Im not 100% sure,but try putting each of them into their own voids.

you mean like having 3 different 'SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback' lines
and then the first one calls for void Pickup1 and the second one Pickup2 and so on?

RE: How to activate entities ?? - Your Computer - 01-31-2012

Pickup1 has the wrong callback syntax.

I don't think that will help, Try first with only armor1 and see if it appears. And btw have you renamed the armor to armor1 armor2 etc?

EDIT: As YourComputer said

Yeah, when I put them in the map they were something like "armour_nice_complete1" so I changed their names to only "armor1" and 2 and 3
