Connecting entities - OriginalUsername - 01-29-2014
Title gives it away.
I'm trying to connect two entities who are supposed to move together at the same time, but I really don't know how to do that.
I saw the
Code:
ConnectEntities(string& asName, string& asMainEntity, string& asConnectEntity, bool abInvertStateSent, int alStatesUsed, string& asCallbackFunc);Could someone help me out?

If you don't know how a script line works, only one way is to try it out
Bool = False/True
String = Any kind of text. Fx. when it's string& asMainEntity, it's probably the name of the main entity.
Int = A single digit number. Usually -1, 0 or 1

Yeah I know how scripting works. I don't ask first, try later. (Like a lot of people seem to do.) I just tried everything and it still doesn't work, and I hoped someone else would know.

But ConnectEntities is for wheels.
I think you're looking for AddAttachedPropToProp.
You can check in 21_torture_nave.hps (line 585)
function name is UseMeatOnRope
How they attach meat to an invisible box on the rope
PHP Code:
AddAttachedPropToProp("invisible_box_mass_2_1", "fresh_meat_onrope_1", "fresh_meat_onrope.ent", 0,0,0, 0,0,0);
When the rope is down, it enters an area that removes the meat
PHP Code:
RemoveAttachedPropFromProp("invisible_box_mass_2_1", "fresh_meat_onrope_1");

I'm sorry. I misinterpreted your post.

It still won't work.
I'm basically trying to connect the handle in the amfp elevator to the pod. I haven't looked too much into the amfp scripts, so I'm not sure how they did it. Could someone help me out?
