Variables and Closet Scares - Mrpeanut188 - 10-28-2012

For my map I am having a closet right next to the first spawn, and when opened, a grunt is inside. Problem is, when they respawn, I want to to not be there. So, I am using boolean variable 'ClosetTriggered' to check if it has already been activated. I have it set in the OnStart() function, and it still gives tells me it is not declared.

Here is the part of the script relating to it:

Code:
////////////////////////////

// Run when the map starts

void OnStart()

{

    AddUseItemCallback("", "Pick", "StartDoor", "UNLOCK", true);

    AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "RoomScare", "ClosetScare", true, 1);

    bool (ClosetTriggered == false);

}

//GRUNT IN CLOSET SCARE

void ClosetScare(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)

{

for (ClosetTriggered == true);

{

SetEntityActive("ClosetMonster", false);

}

else

{

SetEntityActive("ClosetMonster", true);

(ClosetTriggered == true);

}

}

Your syntax is wrong.

Use these instead to access variables:

Code:
    SetLocalVarInt("closetTriggered",0);

    if(GetLocalVarInt("closetTriggered") == 0)

    {

          // do Scare

          // SetLocalVarInt("closetTriggered",1);

    }

Also you should consider thinking about your game/map design... a scare right in the beginning doesn't really fit the amnesia style.... but this is your choice.

Hmm, I did try the LocalVar functions, but they didn't work either. Must of done it wrong

Yeah, I agree. That is why I only want it once. However, this is one of a few jump-scares in the map. The closet is the nearest thing to the spawn, besides the lantern and a note. So the closet should be about the first thing to happen in the map....

[Edit]
Ahh, thanks. After a few minutes of tweaking, I realized I didn't have to do an else to set the entity to non-active, as it already was. Thanks again, he works quite nicely.

What you did was using "for", instead of "if".w
