It keeps giving me an error saying "Expected ')' or ',' "
it says that it expects it right before "&in".
I think I know it's something to do with the whole "(float string &in asTimer)" part. Since I still don't really understand what I need to put in here.
(float string &in asTimer) should be (string &in asTimer)
RE: Anyone need help? - Kyle - 05-15-2011
You can't have it as a "float string &in asTimer". The "asTimer" is a string, not a number. I could see someone thinking that it's a float or integer, but it's not. :/
Just have this:
void FadeToBlack_01(string &in asTimer)
Darn, you beat me to it. On my own thread...
RE: Anyone need help? - Dominic0904 - 05-15-2011
That just gave me "No matching signatures to 'FadeOut(string@&, cost uint)' "
as well as
"Candidates are:
void FadeOut(float)"
that second part came up as INFO and not ERR
RE: Anyone need help? - Kyle - 05-15-2011
Have it "FadeOut(4);"

I'm sorry, didn't really notice it

Replace FadeOut("", 4); with FadeOut(4.0f);
How do you disable a normal player area or script area?

Hello peoples
What is a local variable and how do I set it up
etc...?

A local variable is as simple as this:
x = 1
There are 3 different kinds of local variables, int, string, and float.
The difference from x = 1 and a local variable is that x can only be used in the function it is in mostly unless if you carry it over from one function to the next, but nevermind. A local variable can be used all within the whole script.
You can use a local variable if you want to check if 2 different things happened and then it check to see if the local variable is whatever.
Example:
Code:
void OnStart()
{
SetLocalVarInt("Var1", 0);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "Func1", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_2", "Func2", true, 1);
Func3();
}
void Func1(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
AddLocalVarInt("Var1", 1);
}
void Func2(string &inn asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
AddLocalVarInt("Var1", 1);
}
void Func3()
{
if (GetLocalVarInt("Var1") == 2)
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_3", "Func4", true, 1);
return;
}
}
void Func4(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
[whatever happens]

A local variable is a variable that works on the script you're using. This is, it will only work on that map, while a global variable would work in all of them.
To set a local variable you use the function:
SetLocalVarInt(string& asName, int alVal); //If the variable is an integer, where asName is the variable name which can be anything you like, and alVal is the variable value(must be an integer)
GetLocalVarInt(string& asName); //Returns an integer and can only be used to get an integer variable. asName is the name of the local variable
SetLocalVarFloat(string& asName, float alVal); //If the variable is an float, where asName is the variable name which can be anything you like, and alVal is the variable value(must be a float var)
GetLocalVarFloat(string& asName); //Returns a float and can only be used to get an float variable. asName is the name of the local variable
SetLocalVarString(string& asName, const string& alVal); //If the variable is an string, where asName is the variable name which can be anything you like, and alVal is the variable value(must be a string)
GetLocalVarString(string& asName); //Returns a string and can only be used to get an string variable. asName is the name of the local variable
So, does anyone knows How do you disable a normal player area or script area?
