Message popup on area wont work - Rowzter - 11-13-2012
I wrote a script so when i collide with an area a message will pop up on the screen, But it doesn't.
The Part From The Script:
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Blowdoor_1", "Messagepopup", true, 1);
void Messagepopup(string &in asChild, string &in asParent, int alState)
{
SetMessage("Popupmessage_1", "Popup_1", 3);
}
And the .Lang:
<CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMain">
<Entry Name="Description">What The Hell?</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
<CATEGORY Name="Inventory">
</CATEGORY>
<CATEGORY Name="Popupmessage_1">
<Entry Name="Popup_1">What The?</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
<CATEGORY Name="Descriptions">
</CATEGORY>
<CATEGORY Name="Levels">
What the hell idi i do wrong? :O

How about putting this:
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Blowdoor_1", "Messagepopup", true, 1);
into void OnStart()
{
}
Like this:
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Blowdoor_1", "Messagepopup", true, 1);
}

It's simple: The messages go to the "Messages" category. So, the lang file should be something like:
<CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMain">
<Entry Name="Description">What The Hell?</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
<CATEGORY Name="Inventory">
</CATEGORY>
<CATEGORY Name="Messages">
<Entry Name="Popup_1">What The?</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
<CATEGORY Name="Descriptions">
</CATEGORY>
<CATEGORY Name="Levels">
And the script:
Code:
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Blowdoor_1", "Messagepopup", true, 1);
void Messagepopup(string &in asChild, string &in asParent, int alState)
{
SetMessage("Messages", "Popup_1", 3);
}Also, get sure that notes work. If something in the .lang file is wrong, everything "dies".

Forgot to write that the Blowdoor_1 is the name of the area, it triggers a door also, but i think it is possible to use 1 script area for 2 different Funcs
