How do I make an enemy spawn when the player enters a script area? - KHShox - 04-03-2011
I want to make an enemy spawn in the hallway right when the player gets into an area. How could I do this?
RE: How do I make an enemy spawn when the player enters a script area? - Austums - 04-04-2011
First make a script area, name it whatever you want.
In your script file under OnStart, put this
Code:
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Monster_1", "MonsterFunc1", true, 1);"Monster_1" is the name of my script area. Change it to whatever yours is called.
"MonsterFunc1" is the name of the function we're going to use later.
Oh, I forgot. Make sure the enemy is "disabled" in the editor. Do this by clicking on the enemy and finding the box called "Active" and click it if it's checked.
Once all that is done, add this to your script
Code:
void MonsterFunc1(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("servant_grunt_1", true);
}MonsterFunc1 is the name of your function. The string stuff is just randomness and I don't know what they do, but you need them, lol
Replace the name of "servant_grunt_1" with whatever you named your grunt. Voila. Your enemy should appear when you walk into the area script ~_^

void CollideScript(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)

SetSwingDoorClosed("castle_2", true, true);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "DoorClose", "ScriptArea_2", true, 1);
GiveSanityDamage(2, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("DoorClose", "react_scare.snt", "Player", 0, false);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Monster", "Spawn", true, 1);
void MonsterFunc1(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("Fag", true);
}

Well... Yeah. It looks like there are a lot of things wrong with your script, tbh.

Code:
void AddEntityCollideCallback(string& asParentName, string& asChildName, string& asFunction, bool abDeleteOnCollide, int alStates);What does it?
It calls a function when two entites collide.
Callback syntax:
void MyFunc(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
asParentName
internal name of main object
asChildName
internal name of object that collides with main object
(asterix (*) NOT supported!)
asFunction
function to call (for example "MyFunction")
abDeleteOnCollide
delete the callback after it was called?
alStates:
1 = on enter (when the 2 entities collide)
-1 = on leave (when they dont collide anymore)
0 = on enter AND on leave

I have fixed your code:
Code:
////////////////////////////
// Run when entering map
void OnEnter()
{
}
////////////////////////////
// Run when leaving map
void OnLeave()
{
}
////////////////////////////
// Run first time starting map
void OnStart()
{
// Player collides with 'AreaCloseDoor' => function 'CloseDoor' is called
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "AreaCloseDoor", "CloseDoor", true, 1);
// Player collides with 'AreaCloseDoor2' => function 'CloseDoor' is called
// you can remove this callback, when you dont need a 2nd script area
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "AreaCloseDoor2", "CloseDoor", true, 1);
// Player collides with 'MonsterArea' => function 'SpawnMonster' is called
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "MonsterArea", "SpawnMonster", true, 1);
}
// Player collides with 'AreaCloseDoor'
void CloseDoor(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetSwingDoorClosed("castle_2", true, true);
GiveSanityDamage(2, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("DoorClose", "react_scare.snt", "Player", 0, false);
}
// Player collides with 'MonsterArea'
void SpawnMonster(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("NotSoScaryMonster", true);
}What do you need to get this code to work?
- Script Area named: "AreaCloseDoor"
- Script Area named: "AreaCloseDoor2" (optional)
- Script Area named: "MonsterArea"
- Your Monster named: "NotSoScaryMonster"

I hope that helps ya.
