Amnesia Editor: Scripting

[Aweno]

'Right.

-Hey, y'all two-two, 'I'm new on these forums, 'and-- I'm not set to where in the forums to post this thread about my problem I've tiredly trying to solve, 'and-- I'ven't find a solution to this point.

'So, I'm working on a custom-story for Amnesia: The Dark Descent, 'it's called 'Decay' - and for the rooting beginning, I've built a cellar, 'typically close to the 'Wine Cellar' in the original story, 'which's identical to a blocked-out mine, 'but, yeah - you wake up in a wooden-framed bed, and stagger off to find a lantern inside of the dirt-blocked 'corridor', then you find a letter, 'where you see that someone's written an evident 'last note' or 'last words', where they've corded their death to a cave-in from inside a mine-shaft, 'which belongs to the story, 'but-- here's the deal, you find a key, 'but in order to get to the door that the key's supposed to basically unlock, 'you've to get through the mine's 'cellar'-door, 'and you don't've a key.

-Look at this, 'I want the player to, 'as he picks up a tinderbox or examines a box close to the door's frame he's/she's scripted to go down onto the player's knees, or lie down, 'to check the empty space below the door and the door-frame, 'and there's where the one playing's to find a crowbar, 'but I've no idea how to do this, 'I know that I'm driving to use two commands with 'headpos-- or 'rollheadto'-something, 'I know how to use .hps fairly well, 'but I'm not sure how to make the player - 'when he/she picks up the tinderbox - to get on their knees and look below the door's empty space, I've tried it, 'and I'ven't found any good way to use an 'examine'-area, 'or any way at all to do this. 'My best try'd strike for the 'OnPickup' for the tinderbox, 'but I don't know how to execute the script...! 'I'd like some help with this, 'and I'm sorry for the long text, 'but, here it's.

-Here is my entire .hps-file...

I did a script like this on my Sciophobia campaign. Normal head position is 0. to go DOWN, you need to set the value from -0.01f to -1.5f (if set lower, the view goes through the floor)...
Go into the Entity tab of the tinderbox and fill in the PlayerInteractCallback as: "tindypick1" and replace your "OnPickup" with this:

Code: (Select All)

void tindypick1(string &in asEntity)
{
FadePlayerRollTo(50, 3, 5);
MovePlayerHeadPos(1.7, -1.5f, 0.0, 1, 0.3);
PlaySoundAtEntity("drag_dirt", "03_drag_dirt", "Player", 0, false);
}

'Oh, shit - thanks, brohanovic - it works...! 'Thanks alot, 'right now, 'I'm just set to-- how do I make him rotate normally? 'Daniel spites around the axis like a cogwheel, 'I guess that's just how it works, 'unless I'm able to change the 'FadePlayerRollTo'. I don't know how to fix that, 'but - thanks for the help, I really appreciate that. 'C'y'all, 'and've fun.

'And, how do I freeze the player to prevent him/her from waddling off somewhere else in the tunnel, 'unfreezing the player once he/she picks up the crowbar...? 'Thanks...!

"Waddling" made me laugh. Anyway, you have to use SetPlayerActive(true/false); .... Let me try to script this. also add to the fall script.

//__________________________

void tindypick1(string &in asEntity)
{
SetPlayerActive(false);
StartPlayerLookAt("doorcrowbar", 2, 2, "");
FadePlayerRollTo(50, 3, 5);
MovePlayerHeadPos(1.7, -1.5f, 0.0, 1, 0.3);
PlaySoundAtEntity("drag_dirt", "03_drag_dirt", "Player", 0, false);
}

//__________________________

Go into the editor and go to the PlayerInteractCallback of the crowbar and put in "crowpick1". Then change the crowbar's NAME to "doorcrowbar" and add this to your script:

//__________________________

void crowpick1(string &in asEntity)
{
StopPlayerLookAt();
SetPlayerActive(true);
FadePlayerRollTo(0, 3, 5);
MovePlayerHeadPos(0, 0, 0, 1, 0.3);
}

//__________________________

so in the end, it looks like this:

void tindypick1(string &in asEntity)
{
SetPlayerActive(false);
StartPlayerLookAt("doorcrowbar", 2, 2, "");
FadePlayerRollTo(50, 3, 5);
MovePlayerHeadPos(1.7, -1.5f, 0.0, 1, 0.3);
PlaySoundAtEntity("drag_dirt", "03_drag_dirt", "Player", 0, false);
}

void crowpick1(string &in asEntity)
{
StopPlayerLookAt();
SetPlayerActive(true);
FadePlayerRollTo(0, 3, 5);
MovePlayerHeadPos(0, 0, 0.0, 1, 0.3);
}



I did this exact thing in my map, "Sciophobia" =P haha
