Making a timed room transition - Chilton - 10-02-2010
Ok
To go into more detail, im trying to make a script for a map in which you are transitioned into the map (Irrelevant), then after a set time, you automatically move to a new map.
------
void OnStart()
{
AddTimer("Countdown", 500f, "CountdownHallucination");
}
void CountdownHallucination(string &in asTimer)
{
ChangeMap("map 3.map", "PlayerStartArea_1", "player_climb.snt", "player_crouch.snt");
}
------
^^ Is what i currently have, and the script is accepted, but after the 500f, nothing happens. I even left it for longer and nothing happens.
What am i not doing here?
As usual, any guidance is much appreciated.

Well I just tested something and it worked for me. Try this.
Code:
void CountdownHallucination(string &in asTimer)
{
ChangeMap("map3.map", "PlayerStartArea_1", "", "");
}OnStart
Code:
AddTimer("Countdown", 10.0, "CountdownHallucination");I noticed you have a space in your map name "map 3.map". It's probably best to not have any spaces, underscore would be a better option. Also.. I'm not sure why it would work using "500f", since I get an error with that. "500.0f" is what it should be, or "500" or "500.0" (without the quotation marks of course ^_^).
This is coming from someone with no other scripting experience other than Amnesia. So don't take my word for it

Removed 500f, and renamed the maps a bit, and now it magically works.
Im not even going to read in to how such tiny things made a difference, but the important thing is that it wont happen again
Thankyou very much
