Problem with lights? - Storfigge - 02-03-2013

Why won't this work?

void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "light", "LitLight", true, 1);
}

void LitLight(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetLightVisible("altar_lamp_1", true);
SetLightVisible("altar_lamp_2", true);
SetLightVisible("altar_lamp_3", true);
SetLightVisible("altar_lamp_4", true);
}

void OnEnter()
{

}


void OnLeave()
{

}


I want the altar lamps to become lit.

Lights are not lamps (assuming you're trying to turn on a lamp entity).

Try adding a debug message in your LitLight function. If you see the message, that means you probably have wrote the names wrong for the lights.

No problem Smile Don't forget about the wiki page: http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/amnesia/script_functions

It has every function on there and it's all nice and organized Smile
