Two problems - Storfigge - 12-13-2012
So the problems I have is:
1. I have a map where you run in a corridor and grunts appears behind you. I've used ShowEnemyPlayerPosition("???"); on all monsters to make them run after the player. At the end of the corridor there is a ladder that leads to the next floor. But once the layer has climbed it the monster still "runs" after you. The sound that starts when you get followed by them keep playing even though I've reached reached another floor and closed a hatch under me. Why does this happen and how do I stop it?
2. On the final level, before you reach the end that will start the credits you will be followed by a grunt. During the credits there is music playing but the same sound from my first problem keeps playing once the credits start. How do I stop all sound from the game except my credit theme during the credits?
Thanks.

1: Have you tried "DisableEnemyTriggers("Nameofmonster", true);" ? Of course, activated when you climb the ladder
2: PlayMusic("Music.ogg", false, 1, 1, 1, false);
The bolded false means it doesn't loop when stopped. I hope that worked

Here is the code.
So where am I suppose to put in the code to make what i requested to work?
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "SpawnMonsters", "SpawnFunction_1", false, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "SpawnMonsters_2", "SpawnFunction_2", false, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "SpawnMonsters_3", "SpawnFunction_3", false, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "SpawnMonsters_4", "SpawnFunction_4", false, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "SpawnMonsters_5", "SpawnFunction_5", false, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Start_Credits", "Main_Credits", false, 1);
}
void SpawnFunction_1(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("grunt_1", true);
ShowEnemyPlayerPosition("grunt_1");
SetEntityActive("grunt_2", true);
ShowEnemyPlayerPosition("grunt_2");
}
void SpawnFunction_2(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("grunt_3", true);
ShowEnemyPlayerPosition("grunt_3");
SetEntityActive("grunt_4", true);
ShowEnemyPlayerPosition("grunt_4");
}
void SpawnFunction_3(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("grunt_5", true);
ShowEnemyPlayerPosition("grunt_5");
SetEntityActive("grunt_6", true);
ShowEnemyPlayerPosition("grunt_6");
}
void SpawnFunction_4(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("grunt_7", true);
ShowEnemyPlayerPosition("grunt_7");
SetEntityActive("grunt_8", true);
ShowEnemyPlayerPosition("grunt_8");
}
void SpawnFunction_5(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("grunt_9", true);
ShowEnemyPlayerPosition("grunt_9");
SetEntityActive("grunt_10", true);
ShowEnemyPlayerPosition("grunt_10");
}
void Main_Credits(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
FadeOut(2);
StartCredits("what's going on.ogg", true, "Ending", "MainCredits", 9001);
}
void OnEnter()
{
}
void OnLeave()
{
}
RE: Two problems - Kreekakon - 12-18-2012
For problem number 1, you could always set the chasing Grunt(s) to inactive after you don't need it anymore, and set a new one active in its place which isn't chasing the player if you're afraid for whatever reason the player might backtrack his tracks, and discover that it has vanished.
Example:
SetEntityActive("grunt_9", false);

Example:
SetEntityActive("grunt_9", false);

Use the scripts:
PlayMusic("Music.ogg", false, 1, 1, 1, false); ///Doesn't loop, put this in the function of your credits (void MainCredits)
DisableEnemyTriggers("Nameofmonster", true); //This disables anything that the monster could react to (player, sounds)
Put this when the player is up enough in the ladder so the grunts cannot kill him.

I made a script in the map and tried different ways to make it work but it just wont, I'm doing something wrong. Sorry but I'm no programmer
PlayMusic("Music.ogg", false, 1, 1, 1, false); ///Doesn't loop, put this in the function of your credits (void MainCredits)
DisableEnemyTriggers("Nameofmonster", true); //This disables anything that the monster could react to (player, sounds)

and I'm not the brightest person either. I just experiment with different codes to make something happen and when that wont work i check for an easy solution here or on the wiki. I would really appreciate if you could simply tell me what to do. I made a script in the map, gave it a name and made an AddEntityCollideCallback. It's after that I get stuck. Thanks

void CollideFunction(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
DisableEnemyTriggers("NameOfMonster", true);
}

{
DisableEnemyTriggers("NameOfMonster", true);
}
RE: Two problems - FlawlessHappiness - 12-19-2012
Ah! It's because it's SetEnemyDisableTriggers
