I need help with creating more than 1 scripts for my custom story - ironman0001 - 09-27-2012

I am new to scripting and this is my first custom story! i know each script needs a void but i don't know what void to add! besides void onstart and onenter and onleave But i wanna create a bunch of scripts and iv'e seen scripts that had more than just those! Here is my script so far void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "TeleportScript", "PoopedYaPants", true, 1);
}

void PoopedYaPants(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("Jesus", true);
AddPropForce("Jesus", 0, 0, 10000, "world");
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "24_iron_maiden.snt", "Jesus", 0, false);

PlaySoundAtEntity("", "react_breath_slow.snt", "Player", 0, false);

PlaySoundAtEntity("", "react_scare", "Player", 0, false);
}

void OnEnter()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Message_1", "Message1", true, 1);
}

void Message1(string &in asChild, string &in asParent, int alState)
{
SetMessage("Messages", "Popup1", 0); //This stands for ("Name of category", "Name of entry", time to be displayed on the screen);.
}

I want a message to pop up as soon as you spawn! Then when you go down stairs, A dead guy teleports and flies in your face! Big Grin

Can i replace void OnEnter with anything?

Why would you need any more than OnStart, OnEnter and OnLeave? They pretty much cover all you need.

As for the "message pop-up" just put the ShowMessage in the OnStart

Cause those aren't the only two i'm adding! And put "ShowMessage" in the OnStart? Where on it? In between ()?

Have you looked at other scripts to get an idea of how they work? It may help a bit.

Yeah, But it's pretty confusing though

Have it like this:

void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "TeleportScript", "PoopedYaPants", true, 1);
SetMessage("Messages", "Popup1", 0);
}

void PoopedYaPants(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("Jesus", true);
AddPropForce("Jesus", 0, 0, 10000, "world");
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "24_iron_maiden.snt", "Jesus", 0, false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "react_breath_slow.snt", "Player", 0, false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "react_scare", "Player", 0, false);
}

void OnEnter()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Message_1", "Message1", true, 1);
}

But they would all say void OnStart () At the beginning... But if i wanna make alot of scripts, I can't keep using void onstart...

RE: I need help with creating more than 1 scripts for my custom story - Statyk - 09-28-2012

No, all your scripts start from there. You should never have more than one OnStart, OnLeave, or OnEnter.
