Something I'm missing about using script files? - graykin - 09-22-2010
Okay, so I have a map that I saved in the custom_stories folder, called "my_first.map". I created a basic HPS file for it ("my_first.HPS"), saved in the same location, but it does not actually do anything.
For reference, this is what my HPS looks like--it's the tutorial one in the wiki:
Quote:void OnStart()It doesn't work, and my dev environment has been properly set up. I'm assuming you need to place a script area--or SOMETHING--in the map to get it to access the script, but I'm at a loss, and the wiki hasn't clarified it for me. I'm sure the answer will be face-palm inducing, but any assistance would be appreciated.
{
//Add the Lantern and 10 Tinderboxes when in Debug mode, always good to have light!
if(ScriptDebugOn())
{
GiveItemFromFile("lantern", "lantern.ent");
for(int i=0;i<10;i++) GiveItemFromFile("tinderbox_"+i, "tinderbox.ent");
}
}
////////////////////////////
// Run when entering map
void OnEnter()
{
}
////////////////////////////
// Run when leaving map
void OnLeave()
{
}

Are you sure you turned on script debugging?
RE: Something I'm missing about using script files? - graykin - 09-23-2010
Aye, script debugging is indeed on.

So when the map starts you do not have a lantern nor 10 tinderboxes? You load the correct level and it does not complain about anything? Post the hpl.log after having launched the level
RE: Something I'm missing about using script files? - graykin - 09-23-2010
Aha! I got it!
I decided to check the hpl.log myself, and discovered the cause. Like I thought, it was something stupid I forgot to do (namely, save both the HPS and the map file in the "maps" folder of "redist"). I wouldn't have thought to check the log myself had you not mentioned it, so thank you Jens for your assistance.

What ''redist''? I don't have that specific folder in my whole computer (i'm having steam version)
My map and script file are in ''amnesia the dark descent\\maps\\My maps and it still doesn't work. I have checked everything.

Steam version has no redist folder.

So how can i make my scripts on maps working?
RE: Something I'm missing about using script files? - gosseyn - 09-24-2010
put everything where amnesia.exe is, this is somewhat your redist folder( i read that on the wiki i think)
RE: Something I'm missing about using script files? - Nippew - 09-24-2010
Still no affect. Has anybody even here managed to get it working on steam version?
