Expected Identifier Error - bkrstirregular - 05-02-2012
I think I'll be making a lot of these tonight..I'm getting so frustrated with coding that I want to pull my hair out ;_;
//AddUseItemCallback
AddUseItemCallback("", "Key_1", "firstdoor1", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);
{
void UsedKeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity){
SetSwingDoorLocked("firstdoor1", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "firstdoor1", 0, false);
RemoveItem("Key_1");
}
Can someone tell me what I've done wrong here?

Actually, no: You just wrote the wrong kind of bracket after OnStart(): { should be }

.. I'm still confused ;_; Can I just copy the entire code that I have onto here?

The corrected code should look like this:
Code:
OnStart()
{
//AddUseItemCallback
AddUseItemCallback("", "Key_1", "firstdoor1", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);
}
void UsedKeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("firstdoor1", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "firstdoor1", 0, false);
RemoveItem("Key_1");

What if I have a wake up script already underneath the OnStart? Where do I put this?

Where do I put this?Even if you cut and paste together a script, you'll need to understand at least the basics about function syntax. ThisIsYourComputer has made a good video tutorial on YouTube.

Edit: ...and named the door as well?
RE: Expected Identifier Error - bkrstirregular - 05-02-2012
Yep
The key vanishes so I guess the action works, but the door stays locked.
I do have this code in my script which tells the player that the door is locked
void DoorLockedPlayer(string &in entity)
{
if(GetSwingDoorLocked("firstdoor1") == true)
{
SetMessage("Messages", "msgname", 0);
}
do I need something to alter/cancel it out?

Question 2: Is the door a normal swing door, or is it a level door that isn't supposed to move at all, or is it some weird special door that slides to the side or up?
