SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback HUGE PROBLEM! - lllDash - 10-27-2012
Let me cut to the chase. This is what I did
void OnEnter()
{
SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback("ritual_prisoner_1", "bodysound", true);
}
void bodysound(string &in asEntity, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("ritual_prisoner_1", false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "scare_male_terrified5.snt", "ScriptArea_26", 0, false);
}
Nothing happens. I did a search on google for: "SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback" And I found many post on this same problem: Nothing happens.
Does SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback even work? Or is it a just dud? Am I doing anything wrong? Help would be appreciated

This should work
void OnEnter()
{
SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback("ritual_prisoner_1", "bodysound", true);
}
void bodysound(string &in asEntity, int alState)
{
if(alState == 1)
{
SetEntityActive("ritual_prisoner_1", false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "scare_male_terrified5.snt", "ScriptArea_26", 0, false);
}
}

{
if(alState == 1)

PlaySoundAtEntity("", "scare_male_terrified5.snt", "ScriptArea_26", 0, false);
}
}
. But it still didn't work! However I eventually did get it to work. Looking at ritual_prisoner_1 does nothing, but looking at a scriptarea does. 
Why is it even called SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback if it doesn't even work with entities?!Although I'm still soooooo angry that this problem had wasted so much of my time, I am still grateful for your help. thanx

I guess the scripts area has something that the prisoner doesn't have... Like when grunts doesn't have bodies...
Though, just cover the prisoner in a script area. Also remember that the callback only triggers if the CROSSHAIR is on the area. Therefor the player can still see the prisoner, but without triggering the event, except if you make the area big enough so that the prisoner is only just inside the screen, when the crosshair touches the area

Yea, took me a while to get the size of the area right.

The prisoner doesn't have anything special, while the area was especifically designed to be that way.
