Certain Entities are unscriptable? - gbstrcl - 04-09-2020
I do an interact callback between an in-game area script and a function that sets invisible the mesh of a book pile. thats what its supposed to do at least. But nothing happens, and there are no errors telling me what I could've done wrong. Ive quadruple checked all names and everything is consistent. Just the entity doesn't go anywhere, dissapear, or anything. Only the sound plays.
Code:
void OnStart()
{
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("ScriptInteract", "OnInteract", true);
}
void OnInteract(string &in asEntity)
{
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "BookSlide.snt", "Player", 0, false);
SetEntityPos("BookPile1", 3000, 3000, 3000);
//set entity pos was after I tried set mesh invisble and deactivate entity. Still nothing.

Certain entities cannot be modified like this unfortunately. If you open them in the Model Editor, you can check their type under Settings > User Defined Variables. If this is set to StaticProp, it will be limited. You can fix it by changing it to Object (Static) instead, but you must save it as a custom entity and use that instead.
If you just want to make it disappear, you can try SetPropActiveAndFade. I think it works on StaticProp type entities, unless I'm misremembering.
