Lights , cant get them to activate (noob) - MacKetchup - 04-17-2014

AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_5", "Light", true , 1);

void Light(string &in asEntity)
{
SetEntityActive("torch_floor_1", true);
SetEntityActive("torch_floor_2", true);
SetEntityActive("torch_floor_3", true);
SetEntityActive("torch_floor_4", true);
}

Thanks on beforehand

Assuming this is all your code?

If so, then just put the AddEntityCollideCallback in an OnStart() subroutine.

PHP Code:
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_5", "Light", true, 1);
}

void Light(string &in asEntity) 
{
SetEntityActive("torch_floor_1", true);
SetEntityActive("torch_floor_2", true);
SetEntityActive("torch_floor_3", true);
SetEntityActive("torch_floor_4", true);
}

Let me fix that for you:

AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_5", "Light", true, 1);

void Light(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetLampLit("torch_floor_1", true, true);
SetLampLit("torch_floor_2", true, true);
SetLampLit("torch_floor_3", true, true);
SetLampLit("torch_floor_4", true, true);
}

You are using wrong function and wrong commands to make the lamps lit.

This should work.

Thanks for the help Big Grin appreciate the fast help

Just use "torch_floor_*" for the first SetLampLit argument. Naming them all individually is more tedious (if they all had the same name).

Thanks. This is useful if i use a larger amount of torches as for this case Big Grin
