Need some script help! - ammislol - 02-24-2012
Hello, I've been trying to fix this - but getting nowhere
I want a script that makes the player look in 4 different directions when he pass a area.
to the left, to the right and backwards. And when looked all those
directions - look at a door "mansion_2"
where a monster "servant_grunt_1" spawns and destroys it and starts chasing you
I have made areas called
ScriptArea_1 - left
ScriptArea_2 - right
ScriptArea_3 - back
ScriptArea_4 - the area you pass and start looking
Is this possible? And if it is, can someone help me?..
Thanks in advance!

Combine LookAtCallbacks with Timers as well as SetEntityActive and SHowEnemyPlayerPosition.

Code:
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "LookArea", "StartLookSequence", true, 1);
}
void StartLookSequence(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState
{
AddTimer("LookTimer1", 4, "NextLook");
AddTimer("LookTimer2", 8, "NextLook");
AddTimer("LookTimer3", 12, "NextLook");
AddTimer("LookTime4", 16, "NextLook");
StartPlayerLookAt("ScriptArea_1", 2, 2, "");
}
void NextLook(string &in asTimer)
{
if(asTimer == "LookTimer1")
{
StartPlayerLookAt("ScriptArea_2", 2, 2, "");
}
if(asTimer == "LookTimer2")
{
StartPlayerLookAt("ScriptArea_3", 2, 2, "");
}
if(asTimer == "LookTimer3")
{
StartPlayerLookAt("ScriptArea_4", 2, 2, "");
}
if(asTimer == "LookTimer4")
{
SetEntityActive("servant_grunt_1", true);
ShowEnemyPlayerPosition("servant_grunt_1");
}

Hmm, I get Error : Unexpected end of file, and also.
Is that script activated when i pass the area? I want it when you pass "ScriptArea_5" the script starts - you look at ScriptArea_1, then ScriptArea_2 etcetc.. do you understand?

What happens is when you hit ScriptArea_5, it forces the player to look at one of the areas and activates a few timers. As each timer runs out, the player looks at the subsequent areas.

1. is there anyway to like lock the camera on each area? Cause now you can move the mouse around while the camera look at each area.
2. when it takes me to area 4, it just stands there and look - it wont release. and no monster is spawning.
Huge thanks in advance
RE: Need some script help! - Obliviator27 - 02-24-2012
To lock the Camera, put
SetPlayerActive(false); in the StartLookSequence function, and then
I messed up on the timers. Where it says
AddTimer("LookTimee4", 12, "NextLook");
Replace it with
AddTimer("LookTimer4", 12, "NextLook");
And finally, put
SetPlayerActive(true);
where the SetEntityActive script is.
