It seems like you want to run a crowbar thing, right? Well it's not going to work. The crowbar can't find any area for it to collide so that it wouldn't open.

RE: help me! - pewds..fan - 05-29-2013

im not trying to make the crowbar thing its working perfectly... im working with the lights shut down thing up at the script page

RE: help me! - Adrianis - 05-29-2013

You've made the same mistake in this script that you did in the previous one you posted.

Code:
void LIGHTSOFF(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)

    SetEntityActive("torch_floor_1");
    SetEntityActive("torch_floor_2");
    SetEntityActive("torch_floor_3");
    SetEntityActive("torch_floor_4");
etc...

Here, there is no { and } surrounding the code in that function. I provided you the solution in your other thread, it's very important that you try to understand why that fix worked

However there is another problem, SetEntityActive requires 2 parameters
SetEntityActive(string& asName, bool abActive);
The name of the entity, which you put in, but also true or false, to say whether the entity
should be activated or deactivated


Code:
void LIGHTSOFF(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
    SetEntityActive("torch_floor_1", false);
    SetEntityActive("torch_floor_2", false);
    SetEntityActive("torch_floor_3", false);
    etc...
}

That will make the torches deactivate, hence the 'false'. If you want them to be activated, then use true instead.

EDIT: woops looks like JAP already fixed that and provided a better solution, sorry about that. I'll leave the post as it explains some other extra stuff anyway

RE: help me! - pewds..fan - 05-30-2013

i noticed the brackets few min after i posted this..
and im trying to deactivate the lights cause the spot is a "terrifying corridor" and after deactivating the lights and walking a bit forward a brute will spawn behind the player and he must run to the next door and hide......
