Player Won't Look At Entity? - FurtherGames - 05-04-2013
Hello, again!
It seems each time I do a new thing when it comes to scripting I have at least one problem. I'm a little new but I understand it. But I don't understand why my player won't look at the entity which is a bed!

(All other scripting has been removed)
HPS Script
RE: Player Won't Look At Entity? - PutraenusAlivius - 05-04-2013
PHP Code:
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "PlrLookAt", true, 1);
}
void OnEnter()
{
}
void OnLeave()
{
}
void PlrLookAt(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetPlayerActive(false);
StartPlayerLookAt("oxfordsbed", 1.0f, 1.0f, "");
SetMessage("Messages", "GetSomeSleep", 3);
AddTimer("", 4, "PlrStahpLookAt");
}
void PlrStahpLookAt(string &in asTimer)
{
StopPlayerLookAt();
SetPlayerActive(true);
}
Fixed. Hopefully.

It's not. All that happens is the player becomes inactive, the message appears and then the player is active again once the countdown finishes.

Make sure the name matches.

You know the 1 in the addentitycollidecallbacks stands for 'only when entering area' that might mess it up if it's a large area and you're already inside it.

No, sadly not. It's at the other side of a door so that once you open the door and walk through you look at the bed.

Names match, I copied them over.

It might be a weird glitch. Try to add a script_area and place it in the bed. Try to make him look at that.

I'm unsure whether or not I should deactivate the player. I was watching this tutorial, the guy puts the "StartPlayerLookAt" right into OnStart, etc.

The player will look at the script but not the bed, so it's fixed now, but it was a little weird.

It doesn't hurt if the player is active or not. And if you place the StartPlayerLookAt into OnStart, the player'll just look at it right when he enters the map.

True, I'm not sure what caused it..
