Check the script wiki. It's:

SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback(string& asName, string& asCallback, bool abRemoveOnInteraction);

Calls a function when the player interacts with a certain entity.
Callback syntax: void MyFunc(string &in asEntity)
asName - internal name
asCallback - function to call
abRemoveOnInteraction - determines whether the callback should be removed when the player interacts with the entity

It should be like this:

PHP Code:
//////////////////////////////Run First Time Starting map
void OnStart()
{
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("key", "Jump", true);
}

void Jump(string &in asEntity, string &in type)
{
SetEntityActive("bro_1", true);
}


////////////////////////////
// Run when leaving map
void OnLeave()

No, it isn't. Check the SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback. You don't have that.
http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/tutorials/start
http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/tutorials/scripting/triggering_monsters_on_entities

The first link are the tutorials in the wiki. Please, before creating a thread asking something, check the wiki. The second link explains how to trigger a monster in an entity. Follow the instructions and all will be fine.

Also, here are the engine scripts. It says every single function:

Alright...now i have this but still doesn't work...


//////////////////////////////Run First Time Starting map
void OnStart()
{
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("Player", "bro_1", "true");
}

void Jump(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("bro_1", true);
AddPropForce("bro_1", 0, 0, -9000, "world");
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "ahhh.snt", "Player", 0, false);
}

////////////////////////////// Run when leaving map
void OnLeave()

Then try with SetEntityCallbackFunc("key", "Jump");

RE: Can anyone find the script error? - Your Computer - 09-15-2012

Not sure how you managed to copy and paste and ruin the syntax of the callback. The original issue was that the callback syntax was incorrect and that the callback function name didn't match. And now it's the same issue, along with the fact that you converted a boolean into a string.

Damn, I didn't saw that. It's true: Jump and jump.

Confused How I couldn't see that? Confused

*cough*(string &in asEntity) *cough*

Wink this syntax is what means: you are interacting with something and calling a function by it
