Player Collides With Area Help? - FurtherGames - 05-04-2013
Hey guys, I'm trying to do when a player collides with an area, he is forced to look at another script area, a timer begins, once the timer stops it calls on a function, that function activates an entity.
I've done this:
PHP Code:
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_9", "Func6", true, 0);
}
void OnEnter()
{
}
void OnLeave()
{
}
void Func6(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetPlayerActive(false);
StartPlayerLookAt("ScriptArea_10", 1.0f, 1.0f, "");
SetMessage("Messages", "LookAtBlood", 2);
AddTimer("", 3, "SetEntityActive");
}
void SetEntityActive(string& asName, bool abActive)
{
SetEntityActive("corpsepile", true);
}
But when I go to the area, the entity/corpsepile is already active, before I collide with the area and it's set inactive in the editor.

Your problem lies here:
PHP Code:
//Callback syntax for a timer
void SetEntityActive(string &in asTimer)
{
SetEntityActive("corpsepile", true);
}
In the future, I highly recommend you consult the functions list at the wiki.

I always search the wiki first, but I never find it.

It has a table of contents and you can also use your browser's page search tool.

It's still not working...

Exactly *what* is not working? Are you receiving an error, or does the script improperly/not execute?
Did you check your script area names in the level editor etc etc? Perhaps you should change the name of your timer callback to "ActivateCorpsepile" or something?

The problem is is that the entity is active even before I collide with the area script. It is supposed to be a tiny bit of a jump scare.

Did you uncheck the active box in the level editor?

Yes, I said that and I saved the map.

Try setting it inactive in OnStart?
