Changing Entities - MaZiCUT - 06-08-2012
Hello, i have no idea because i haven't seen anyone do this before but maybe someone knows how to pull this off.
What i want to achieve is this
When player collides with an area, he freezes (achieved)
The lights die (achieved)
A brute spawns and comes towards you to start a dialouge (not achieved)
The lights go back on (not achieved)
Can someone please help me? This means alot to me and i want this to be a fun experience for the players of my custom story that's why it has so much demandings. Please help me in order of the list, mainly i need help with getting the lights back on and the brute not killing you but just standing still and text comes up as if player and brute is talking to eachother.

You have to disable triggers for the brute for it to not attack the player. You should have a script area where the brute is supposed to stand at for collision detection. Then when the monster collides with the area, use effect voices and set an effect voice callback to have the effect voice callback trigger when the brute is done speaking. In the callback you just turn on the lights.

AddEntityCollideCallback("servant_brute_1", "BruteCollide", "Rawr", true, 1);
void Rawr()
{
}

{
AddEntityCollideCallback("servant_brute_1", "BruteCollide", "Rawr", true, 1);
}
void Rawr(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEnemyDisableTriggers("servant_brute_1", true);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_brute_1", "PathNodeArea_1", 5.0f, "");
}
I've never used "SetEnemyDisableTriggers" before but theoretically it should work according to http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/amnesia/script_functions
and also to make him roar, you'll need to give him an animation for when he reaches the pathnode. read this: (also found in http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/amnesia/script_functions)
AddEnemyPatrolNode(string& asName, string& asNodeName, float afWaitTime, string& asAnimation);
asName - internal name of the enemy
asNodeName - path node
afWaitTime - time in seconds that the enemy waits at the path node before continuing
asAnimation - the animation the enemy uses when reaching the path node
