The Capture Scene - Amnesia - Melvin - 08-29-2012

I want a brute to slash the player, then a death text will show, then you wake up in another map.

I searched over the internet for a long time. Could be that I wasn't searching for the right stuff, but I want to know how I do this.

I've been looking into the original game script and map, but they weren't eye opening for me.

thanks in advance, SmokeMelvin

You need to use a checkpoint here.

Code:
CheckPoint (string& asName, string& asStartPos, string& asCallback, string& asDeathHintCat, string& asDeathHintEntry);

Call this with the same event that triggers the monster.

Additional info:

Code:
asName - the internal name

asStartPos - the name of the StartPos in the editor

asCallback - the function to call when the player dies/respawns

asDeathHintCat - the category of the death hint message to be used in the .lang file

asDeathHintEntry - the entry in the .lang file

At the Callback section, add a "ChangeMap" script. Code is below.

Code:
ChangeMap(string& asMapName, string& asStartPos, string& asStartSound, string& asEndSound);

If that helped, help me back with a +1. It's a fair trade.

Basic entity collide callback that adds the checkpoint based off what senor Nemet said:

void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Name_of_Area", "checkpoint", true, 1);
}

void checkpoint(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
CheckPoint("", "Name_of_Start_Pos", "PlayerDeath", "", "");
}

void PlayerDeath(string &in asName, int alCount)
{
ChangeMap("Name_of_Map.map", "Name_of_Start_Pos", "", "");
}

You can change the type of callback, but be sure to change the callback syntax for "checkpoint" as well.

Hope that helped.

This should work. But I thought I'd let the lad figure it out. Since that's the way you learn how to script.
