Newbie needs help! [SOLVED] - pwnvader360 - 01-12-2011
As you can probably tell, I'm a newbie to scripting in the HPL Amnesia Level Editor. What I want to happen is the Player collides with ScriptArea_1, and the grunt behind the door becomes active and follows the PathNode. Once the grunt has reached the last PathNode, I want him to become inactive.
I have created EXTREMELY basic scripts before, but never could advance from there. Would it hurt to make the script and explain it to me for future reference?

I say try first, then ask later. Lets see if I can make it work anyway. (New and thirsty for scripting.)
Code:
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "Monster", true, 1);
}
void Monster(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("NAME OF YOUR MONSTER" , true);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("NAME OF YOUR MONSTER", "NAME OF YOUR PATHNODE", 0, "");
}Something like this ? O.O

To see if it would work, I entered the script that gives the player a lantern on start, and...failure. Why is this. If thats not what the script does, then what DOES it do?
In case you need to know, heres the code:
Code:
////////////////////////////
// Run first time starting map
void OnStart()
{
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()

Well, what exactly is the error?

For the pathnode script, do I make a script for every pathnode?
RE: Newbie needs help! - Seragath - 01-12-2011
I haven't used pathnode that much but from what I know is that it's possible. for example
Code:
void Monster(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("NAME OF YOUR MONSTER" , true);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("NAME OF YOUR MONSTER", "NAME OF YOUR PATHNODE", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("NAME OF YOUR MONSTER", "NAME OF YOUR PATHNODE2", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("NAME OF YOUR MONSTER", "NAME OF YOUR PATHNODE3", 0, "");
}etc etc

The problem is, I insert the code (and trust me, the .hps file is in the correct location with the correct file name) and when I test it in Amnesia, it tells me that I need to find a lantern before one can be turned on.
RE: Newbie needs help! - Tottel - 01-12-2011
This is on a custom map, right? One that you play as a custom story?

I tried that and nothing happened. Here's the code:
Code:
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "Monster", true, 1);
}
void Monster(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("servant_grunt_1", true);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_1", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_2", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_3", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_4", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_5", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_6", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_7", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_8", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_9", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_10", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_11", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_12", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_13", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_14", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_15", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_16", 0, "");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_17", 0, "");
SetEntityActive("servant_grunt_1", false);
}
void OnEnter()
{
}
void OnLeave()
