Hello everyone, i'm sundayz and i started doing custom story in Amnesia :-)

You can't load another map without the loading. You can map the duplicate into the original map so you can teleport there without the loading?

Well i mean for example:
you are on a room and after doing something there is a black screen and you see that the room is different (example there is body in the ground or blood etc..)


RE: Scripting help !!! :E - flamez3 - 02-20-2012

Make the things you want to come on after you read the note inactive. And use these

FadeOut()
FadeIn()
SetEntityActive()

RE: Scripting help !!! :E - Sundayz - 02-20-2012

What you mean ?
Can you if possible make a Script example ? Tongue


RE: Scripting help !!! :E - flamez3 - 02-20-2012

void OnStart()
{
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("nameofnote", "Scare", true);
}

void Scare(string &in asEntity)
{
SetEntityActive("nameofentity", true);
}

Or if you want to teleport the player to a different part of the map:

void OnStart()
{
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("nameofnote", "Scare", true);
}

void Scare(string &in asEntity)
{
TeleportPlayer("nameofPlayerStartArea");
}

Make another start area where you want the player to transport.

For the sound:

PlaySoundAtEntity(string& asSoundName, string& asSoundFile, string& asEntity, float afFadeTime, bool abSaveSound);


asSoundName - internal name
asSoundFile - the sound to use + extension .snt
asEntity - the entity to create the sound at, can be “Player”
afFadeTime - time in seconds the sound needs to fade
abSaveSound - determines whether a sound should “remember” its state. If true, the sound is never attached to the entity! Also note that saving should on be used on looping sounds!

Rofl what u told me to do don't work i'll give you what i wrote and tell me what is wrong (i really start to script)

void OnStart()
{
AddDebugMessage("OnStart!", false);
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("letter3", "Scare", true);
}


void Scare(string &in asEntity)
{
TeleportPlayer("PlayerStartArea_20");
}



My letter is really letter3 and the area i wan't my player to go is this one too these things are not wrong i'm sure.
