Script help required - Zokrar - 06-22-2013

What I'm trying to accomplish is this:

There are two grunts at first. gruntOne, gruntTwo. If you look at one, it disappears, a sound plays, and a particle system appears where the grunt disappeared. I have this much working so far.

What's NOT working is when I try and add a timer between when the other one can spawn. In this case, say gruntOne is active, and gruntTwo is not. I want it so that when I look at gruntOne, it'll disappear, do all the particles/sounds etc., and 3 seconds after it disappears, gruntTwo spawns in, and vice versa. Could someone take a look at my script to see if they can fix it please?

Spoiler below!
Code:
void OnStart()
{
    if(ScriptDebugOn())

        GiveItemFromFile("lantern", "lantern.ent");

    SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback("gruntTWo", "GruntTwo", false);

    SetSkyBoxActive(true);
       SetSkyBoxTexture("nighttime.dds");
       
       
       PlayMusic("ending_alexander.ogg", true, 0.30, 2.00, 5, true);

UPDATED SCRIPT: Still not working, but closer to solution I think.

Code:
AddTimer("GruntOneSpawnDelay", 3, "GruntOneTimer");
Code:
AddTimer("GruntTwoSpawnDelay", 3, "GruntTwoTimer");

You forgot to add a function to the AddTimer functions. Third argument. If you're using full numbers (such as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.), you don't need to add .00. Just write it as the number.

EXTRA PROBLEM

Code:
SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback("gruntTwo", "GruntTwo", false);

Found a typo there, in the first argument. You wrote "gruntTWo" instead of "gruntTwo".

[SOLVED] Script help required - Zokrar - 06-23-2013

What would I do with the GruntOneTimer and GruntTwoTimer? The big problem for me with this code is that I don't know how to go about organizing it to flow properly with the timer included. I tried using variables and alState, and for reasons I can't see it didn't work. I fixed the typo too, thanks for catching that.

EDIT: Got it working! I feel stupid now, lol. I went about it the hard way.

Here's the code, incase anyone's wondering.
