How to "Make message appear when interacting object" (SOLVED) - HumiliatioN - 12-26-2010
Yep how?
I have this example here: with door
<CATEGORY Name ="Message">
<Entry Name="Locked1">It's Locked. I have to find key.</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
</LANGUAGE>
void Locked1 "SetMessage" ("Message", "Locked1", 20.0f);
Why its not working?

it doesn't work like that.
You need to go to the level editor and click your door, click the entity tab and find the PlayerInteractCallback field. Write the following in it: LockedDoor .
Now go to your hps file and paste the following code in the bottom of it
Code:
LockedDoor(string &in entity)
{
SetMessage("Message", "Locked1", 20.0f);

Not working :/
I have this:
<CATEGORY Name ="Message">
<Entry Name="Locked0">It's Locked. I have to find key.</Entry>
<Entry Name="Locked1">This Office is Locked. Find key.
</CATEGORY>
Level door works Locked0 message...
void LockedDoor(string &in entity)
{
SetMessage("Message", "Locked1", 20.0f);
}
But Locked1 doesnt work

I'm not sure but I have had the same problem with my notes and I had to name the note like this "Note_[nameofnote]_Text and Note_[nameofnote]_Name".
So try this "Message_Locked0" and "Message_Locked1"
Goodluck

Now i figured it out!
You must name that last word example: My door name is "Office Door"
Write that "Door" in PlayerInteractCallback field..
Then write:
void Door(string &in entity)
{
SetMessage("Message", "Door", 20.0f);
}
lang.file: <Entry Name="Door">It's Locked. Where is that key?</Entry>
Simple as that
Thanks for the tips!
