Message on locked doors - giacomo9 - 11-21-2012
Hello!
What should I do, when I want to show to player a message, like "The door is closed. I must find a key", when he tries to open a locked door? I tried to solve this problem by these tips, but the message does not show up.

Examples of a scripts are welcome
RE: Message on locked doors - FlawlessHappiness - 11-21-2012
Do you have a .lang file? A separate file from .hps files.
It should be beside the custom_story_settings.cfg file
RE: Message on locked doors - giacomo9 - 11-21-2012
Yes, I have. I did everything step by step, as it is in the tutorial, but it doesn't works. I have no idea where it could be a mistake...

Show us your script and .lang file
RE: Message on locked doors - giacomo9 - 11-21-2012
Script:
void Messagedoor(string &in entity)
{
if(GetSwingDoorLocked("sierociniec") == true)
{
SetMessage("Messages", "zamkniete", 0);
}
}
.lang file:
<CATEGORY Name="Messages">
<Entry Name =“zamkniete”>To glowne drzwi do sierocinca. Sa zamkniete. Musze znalezc inne wyjscie.</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
RE: Message on locked doors - FlawlessHappiness - 11-21-2012
And where did you place this: "Messagedoor"
In the level editor, or in the script file?
RE: Message on locked doors - giacomo9 - 11-21-2012
In the lever editor ("PlayerEntityCallback" in this door where message should be).
And in script file (Here's all script. I used bold to show the script message)
////////////////////////////

{
AddUseItemCallback("", "basementkey_1", "basement_1", "KeyOnDoor", true);

AddEntityCollideCallback("stevie_1", "fade_1", "fade1", true, 1);
}

RE: Message on locked doors - FlawlessHappiness - 11-21-2012
Looks fine. Check if names are correct. Capitals and such are very important.
Does you .lang file work? Does any other text show up?
RE: Message on locked doors - giacomo9 - 11-21-2012
I checked the names, brackets and capitals many times. Everything fits, and the messages still do not see. Yes, everything else in .lang file show up.
RE: Message on locked doors - FlawlessHappiness - 11-21-2012
Oh, yes the syntax.
