Turning on lights when entering a scriptarea - LulleBulle - 02-24-2012

Could anyone tell me which code to use to turn on torches when entering a scriptarea (multiple torches)

RE: Turning on lights when entering a scriptarea - Obliviator27 - 02-24-2012

SetLampLit. Use Indexes.

Torch_1
Torch_2
Torch_3

All will be turned on if you use
Torch_*

Someone mind telling me how to do this? Sad

RE: Turning on lights when entering a scriptarea - SilentStriker - 02-25-2012

To make all the lamps lit at the same time you use

for(int x=1; x <= 3; x++) SetLampLit("torch_"+x, true, true);

change the 3 to the amount of torches you have

Just put a script area where ever you want the lamps to be lit and use a AddEntityCollideCallback and then in the function you call you put the code i wrote

i tried this:

Code:
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "LightOn", "Lights", true, 1);
}
void Lights(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{    
SetLampLit("torch_static01_*", true);
}

It didn't work

It didn't work
because it should look like this


Code:
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "LightOn", "Lights", true, 1);
}
void Lights(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{    
for(int x=1; x <= 3; x++) SetLampLit("torch_static01_"+x, true, true);
}

}


Why can't I index the torches?


Also, it worked perfectly.
