Forcing view of the player to look at a door when it slams shut - DrDean - 02-12-2012
Hi, I'm trying to do exactly what the thread title states. I got the door slam part down, but I'm having difficulty having the view change work. I should probably mention that I have no programming background, so this is all new to me.
Looking at the script functions list on the Wiki, it seems like this is exactly what I need:
Code:
void StartPlayerLookAt(string& asEntityName, float afSpeedMul, float afMaxSpeed, string& asAtTargetCallback);
void StopPlayerLookAt();However, I have absolutely no idea how to plop it into my current door-slam script. Where should I put it? What variables am I changing? I'm not asking you to do my work for me, but I need a push.
This is what I currently have:
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "pooarea", "func_slam", true, 1);
}
void func_slam(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetSwingDoorClosed("mansion_1", true, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "react_breath_slow.snt", "Player", 0, false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "react_scare", "Player", 0, false); PlaySoundAtEntity("", "close_door.snt", "Player", 0, false);
GiveSanityDamage(5.0f, true);
}
Thanks in advance, guys.

use StartPlayerLookAt(string& asEntityName, float afSpeedMul, float afMaxSpeed, string& asAtTargetCallback);
go to [url]http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/amnesia/script_functions#general2[/url] and search for the command it should say what to fill in where.
then put it below void func_slam. next to setswingdoorclosed ect.

I'm trying this, but it's giving me curly bracket errors.
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "pooarea", "func_slam", true, 1); //Func for door slam/player look
}
void func_slam(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetSwingDoorClosed("mansion_1", true, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "react_breath_slow.snt", "Player", 0, false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "react_scare", "Player", 0, false); PlaySoundAtEntity("", "close_door.snt", "Player", 0, false);
GiveSanityDamage(5.0f, true);
}
void StartPlayerLookAt(string& mansion_1, 1, 1, string& func_slam);
{ //Gives the error here
}
void StopPlayerLookAt();
{ //And here
}
If I'm doing this correctly, which I'm obviously not, the player's view should shift to the door (mansion_1) when they enter the script area (pooarea aka func_slam)
RE: Forcing view of the player to look at a door when it slams shut - Prelauncher - 02-12-2012
You should put the "StartPlayerLookAt" under the "func_slam" function. The computer doesn´t call that function in the script´s current state. You should also add a timer which after an aproperiate time call the function, for example; addtimer("StopLook", 3, "NoLooking");
void NoLooking(string &in as Timer)
{
StopPlayerLookAt();
}

Use this :
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "pooarea", "func_slam", true, 1);
}
void func_slam(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetSwingDoorClosed("mansion_1", true, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "react_breath_slow.snt", "Player", 0, false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "react_scare", "Player", 0, false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "close_door.snt", "Player", 0, false);
GiveSanityDamage(5.0f, true);
SetPlayerActive(false);
StartPlayerLookAt("mansion_1", 3.0f, 5.0f, "");
AddTimer("timer01", 1.5f, "StopLook");
void StopLook(string &in asTimer)
{
StopPlayerLookAt();
SetPlayerActive(true);
}

Having fun scaring your friends !
Note: i just saw that there is an error , in the wiki script (so , in yours too)
Add ".snt" at the end of "react_scare" like so :
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "react_scare.snt", "Player", 0, false);
