Getting a Monster to respawn after death - Cyphermur9t - 02-11-2013

Basically what it says. I'm trying to get certain functions to be triggered again after death. I have this chase scene where everything works correctly, but there's no point in having it where if the player dies there's no chase when he respawns. So I pretty much want FUNCTION16 and everything that goes with it to start over again.

Code:
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_13", "FUNCTION16", true, 1); //final chase starts
}

//////////FINAL CHASE//////////
void FUNCTION16(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
    SetPlayerActive(false);
    PlaySoundAtEntity("","suitoridle.snt", "servant_suitor_5", 0, false);
    StartPlayerLookAt("servant_suitor_5", 5, 5, "");
    AddTimer("timer1", 2.5f, "final_chase_2");
    StartScreenShake(0.1, 0.16, 0.10,0.10);
    SetMoveObjectState("castle_portcullis_2", 0);
}

void final_chase_2(string &in asTimer)
{
    PlayMusic("Music_Junkies_Brutal.ogg", true, 6, 0, 9, false);
    StartPlayerLookAt("servant_suitor_5", 6, 6, "");
    AddTimer("timer1", 3.8f, "final_chase_3");
}

void final_chase_3(string &in asTimer)
{
    SetMessage("Messages", "Run" , 2.5f);
    StartPlayerLookAt("Look5", 6, 6, "");
    AddTimer("timer1", 1.5f, "final_chase_4");
    SetPropHealth("castle_12", 0.0f);
}

void final_chase_4(string &in asTimer)
{
    SetEntityActive("servant_suitor_5", true);
    AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_suitor_5", "PathNodeArea_43", 0.0f, "");
    ShowEnemyPlayerPosition("servant_suitor_5");
    StopPlayerLookAt();
    SetPlayerActive(true);
}

//////////RESTART FINAL CHASE AFTER DEATH//////////
void Restart(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
    CheckPoint ("checkpoint1", "PlayerStartArea_2", "servant_suitor_5", "DeathCategory", "Deathtext1");
}


RE: Getting a Monster to respawn after death - FlawlessHappiness - 02-11-2013

How about having function16 call another function like this:

void FUNCTION16(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
CheckPoint ("checkpoint1", "PlayerStartArea_2", "RespawnFunction", "DeathCategory", "Deathtext1");

MonsterFunction();
}


void MonsterFunction()
{
if(GetLocalVarInt("MonsterTimes") == 1)
{
SetEntityActive("servant_suitor_5", true);
}

if(GetLocalVarInt("MonsterTimes") == 2)
{
SetEntityActive("servant_suitor_6", true);
}

SetPlayerActive(false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("","suitoridle.snt", "servant_suitor_5", 0, false);
StartPlayerLookAt("servant_suitor_5", 5, 5, "");
AddTimer("timer1", 2.5f, "final_chase_2");
StartScreenShake(0.1, 0.16, 0.10,0.10);
SetMoveObjectState("castle_portcullis_2", 0);
}


Now you will need 2 monsters. 1 for the first time, and the second monster for all the other times.
So when colliding with Function16, SetLocalVarInt("MonsterTimes", 1);And then when respawning, SetLocalVarInt("MonsterTimes", 2);

This is the checkpoint:

void RespawnFunction(string &in asName, int alCount)
{
MonsterFunction();
}

It should be:

AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Script_areacheck", "Restart", true, 1);

    StartPlayerLookAt("servant_suitor_5", 5, 5, "");
    AddTimer("timer1", 2.5f, "final_chase_2");
    StartScreenShake(0.1, 0.16, 0.10,0.10);

    AddTimer("timer1", 1.5f, "final_chase_4");
    SetPropHealth("castle_12", 0.0f);

void final_chase_4(string &in asTimer)

    SetEntityActive("servant_suitor_5", true);

Thank you very much for the explanation Smile
This helped a lot.
