Weeping angel script - Wank - 05-29-2013
Hello everyone! I wanted to know what script I could use to basically be a weeping angel from Doctor Who. If you don't know what that is, it basically moves when you are not looking. So when you look away, it comes closer. I have my statue all set up and able to be inactive and be an entity, but I want him to be like a weeping angel. Help? Thank you.

It's not going to be easy, but you can use the function SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback to detect when the player is looking at an area.
- So you would need a series of script areas & deactivated statues
- Keep track of where the player is using AddEntityCollideCallback to set the value of a string when they collide with one of the script areas
- Keep track of which statue is currently active
- Use SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback to detect when the player is looking at an area away from where the current statue is
- Deactivate the current statue and activate another closer to where the player is
Hope that gives you enough to get going with it, I can't think of a simpler way to do it that would work well sadly...

I'm really not an expert at scripting.

Um, I guess. Just on one statue on a later map...
