SetLanternLitCallback - hunchbackproduction - 07-19-2013
void SetLanternLitCallback(string& asCallback);
Sets the function to call when the player uses his lantern.
Callback syntax: MyFunc(bool abLit)
I am using this code in my custom story, however it seems to be doing nothing and I'd like to think I didn't make an error in code. Any help would be appreciated!!! <3
void LanternTinderCheck(string& asCallback)
{
if (GetGlobalVarInt("Tinderboxes") == 0)
{
SetMessage("Chemical", "notinderboxes", 1);
SetLanternActive(false, true);
SetLanternDisabled(true);
AddTimer("", 1, "ReAllowLighting");
}
if (GetGlobalVarInt("Tinderboxes") > 0)
{
AddGlobalVarInt("Tinderboxes", -1);
SetMessage("Chemical", "lanternlit", 1);
SetLanternLitCallback("LanternTinderCheck");
}
}
void ReAllowLighting(string &in asTimer)
{
SetLanternDisabled(false);
SetLanternLitCallback("LanternTinderCheck");
}
void OnStart()
{
SetLanternLitCallback("LanternTinderCheck");
SetGlobalVarInt("Tinderboxes", 0);
}
void OnEnter()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "ArthurCheck", true, 1);
PlayMusic("RopeFootstep.ogg", true, 1, 1, 1, false);
}
void OnLeave()
{
SetupLoadScreen("LoadingText", "Loading", 7, "HNBKChapterOne.jpg");
}
RE: SetLanternLitCallback - Your Computer - 07-19-2013
Lantern callback requires a boolean parameter.

Alrighty, so how would I implement that ?
RE: SetLanternLitCallback - Tomato Cat - 07-20-2013
The SetLanternLitCallback is what sets your callback, it isn't called when you light your lantern.
For example:
PHP Code:
void onStart {
SetLanternLitCallback("LitCallback");
}
void LitCallback(bool abLit /*Your boolean parameter*/) {
/*This functions is called when you light your lantern*/
}

/*This functions is called when you light your lantern*/
}
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, I see now.
void LitCallback(bool abLit /*Your boolean parameter*/)
With that line of code would I do something like:
void LitCallback(true) ?
RE: SetLanternLitCallback - Tomato Cat - 07-20-2013
No, it's a parameter. It specifies that the function takes a boolean value, which is passed by the callback. (I'm assuming true for lit, false for unlit.) =p

Alright, just came back from holidays and ready to code
I ain't no pro haxor, so could you please explain to me wtf is a parameter and actually give me a example of the SetLanternLitCallback being used please xD.
Sorry for the hassle and thanks for the help so far dudes!

Welcome back!
A parameter is a value passed to a function. In the most basic sense.
PHP Code:
//For example
public void addNumber(int i, int k)
{
//Prints the sum of two numbers
print(i + k);
}
In this snippet, "i" and "k" represent integers. Their values are "passed" (think, "sent to") the function addNumber.
Say you wanted to use the function somewhere. You would write:
PHP Code:
addNumber(3, 1);
In this case, the parameter "i" represents the integer value of 3. Whereas "k" represents 1.
Now, for the lantern callback, it's pretty much the same. Only what's passed is a "boolean" (true/false) type.
PHP Code:
public void test(bool lanternLit)
{
if(lanternLit) //Shorthand for if *** is "true"
{
//Code to keep the monsters away
}
else //If the lanterLit value is "false"
{
//Code to get attacked by monsters
}
}
Only in this case, the parameter is passed internally.

Alrighty, making more sense now ^^ Your really good at this
I'll try this stuff out, then come back if I need some more clarification!
RE: SetLanternLitCallback - hunchbackproduction - 08-03-2013
Ok! tried to get this to work, I thought I understood this, But boy was I wrong xD
I need a little more clarification on how this whole thing works.
When you explained the I and K parameter thing I got it, But why is I and K needed ? Can't you just code: "addnumber(3,1)" ?
Also what is up with "public" I saw you put that there before your voids
I still do not get the whole lanternlit, and how it links to parameters ? Are the parameters "true" or "false" and do I have to define these somewhere ?
void LanternLit(bool lanternLit)
{
if(lanternLit)
{
SetMessage("test", "test", 1);
}
else
{
}
}
I have this piece of test code, please explain to me why it does not work! As when I light my lantern the test message does not appear.
PS: I have given you a reputation for the help so far ^ Thanks!
