Help with global var ints. - Radical Batz - 04-06-2014

Hey guys this is my first time using globalvarints and I am just confused of how to sue them or when, So in this particular map, you pickup a jar of acid and in that function I made this

PHP Code:
void CleanContainer(string &in asEntityName, string &in asType)
{
    AddPlayerSanity(2);
    PlayMusic("02_puzzle.ogg", false, 0.7f, 0.5f, 9, false);
    SetEntityActive("AreaSpawn", true); 
    SetGlobalVarInt("GotJarofAcid", 1);    
} 

Now when that happened a script box is supposed to be active now in another map since I made this in that code for the other map

PHP Code:
void CheapScare(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
    //If you got the jar of acid
 if(GetGlobalVarInt("GotJarofAcid")==1)
 {
     SetEntityActive("AreaCheapScare", true);
 }
 SetGlobalVarInt("GotJarofAcid", 1);
}

//A function when looking at the Suitor
void SanityDamage(string &in asEntity, string &in asType)
{
SetEntityActive("enemy_suitor_1", true);
 FadeEnemyToSmoke("enemy_suitor_1", true);
} 

But it still doesn't work do you guys know what's the problem here or am i just stupid cause this is my first time using globalvarints and I might not do a good job at it! so eyah, am I supposed to put something onstart?

IDK tell em down in the comments, thnx.

GlobalVarInt can only be used in a seperate hps called global.hps.

EDIT:
Here's my tutorial on GlobalVar.

^Would recommend adding that to the wiki one day Smile

RE: Help with global var ints. - daortir - 04-06-2014

Dude there is no need for a global.hps to use global variables ^^. Your tutoral is good otherwise but there is absolutely no need to decare global variables in a global.hps file. You can perfectly create them in a classic .hps file, and reuse them from any other file.

^^

Code:
Global variables can be used throughout several maps and can be accessed by several script files.

void SetGlobalVarInt(string& asName, int alVal);

void AddGlobalVarInt(string& asName, int alVal);

int GetGlobalVarInt(string& asName);

void SetGlobalVarFloat(string& asName, float afVal);

void AddGlobalVarFloat(string& asName, float afVal);

float GetGlobalVarFloat(string& asName);

void SetGlobalVarString(string& asName, const string& asVal);

void AddGlobalVarString(string& asName, string& asVal);

string& GetGlobalVarString(string& asName);

Sorry, what? Is that some sort of example?
I mean, I agree, but I don't see how it has any relevance here.

RE: Help with global var ints. - Radical Batz - 04-06-2014

um guys thanks for the replies and everything but I seem not to get it working!

RE: Help with global var ints. - Mudbill - 04-06-2014

Try putting the check in OnEnter.

PHP Code:
void OnEnter()
{
    if(GetGlobalVarInt("GotJarofAcid")==1)
    {
        SetEntityActive("AreaCheapScare", true);
        SetGlobalVarInt("GotJarofAcid", 0);
    }
}
