Script fatal error?

**Rapsis** · 10-13-2012, 06:12 PM

Hey everyone,
I'm making a custom story, and I get this error:
FATAL ERROR:
Could not load script file 'custom_stories/*secret*/maps/map1.hps'!
main (10,11) : ERR : Expected identifier
main (11,1) : ERR : Unexpected token '{'

My map1.hps

void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Studydooropen", "CollideRoomTwo", true, -1);
}

void CollideRoomTwo(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetSwingDoorClosed("mansion_2", true, true);
}
AddUseItemCallback("", "bedroomkey_1", "mansion_1", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);
{
}
void UsedKeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("mansion_1", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "mansion_1", 0, false);
RemoveItem("bedroomkey_1");
}

void OnLeave()
{

}

Could you explain what am I doing wrong? I'm just a beginner at both HTML and the level editor, so if anybody could fix the code and explain, it would mean a lot to me as I would learn.

P.S. Sorry for my terrible English!

Hello! There is one error in your script file:

Spoiler below!

-You cannot use a function as a header; it has to be something like: void func(callback syntax)
-All callbacks should be placed under OnStart (very few exceptions) regardless of when they're used in the map.

Here's a fix, simply delete your current .hps file's content then copy & paste this in:

Yes, this made my game turn on, thanks! Though the door doesn't open when I enter the script area. None of the names have mistakes. Any help?

Whoops, silly me, I'm doing it wrong! Thanks for the help!

Ok, I don't get this at all, I simply added a new line:

void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Studydooropen", "CollideRoomTwo", true, 0);
AddUseItemCallback("", "bedroomkey_1", "mansion_1", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);

SetSwingDoorLocked("mansion_2");
}

{
SetSwingDoorLocked("mansion_1", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "mansion_1", 0, false);
RemoveItem("bedroomkey_1");
}

void OnLeave()
{

}

And now it gives me a "No matching signatures" error!

**Adny** · 10-13-2012, 06:47 PM

No matching signatures means you don't have the proper amount/type of arguments in the function:

SetSwingDoorLocked(string& asName, bool abLocked, bool abEffects);

SetSwingDoorLocked("mansion_2", true, true);

This should solve the problem. The structure of SetSwingDoorLocked is:
void SetSwingDoorLocked(string& asName, bool abLocked, bool abEffects);

It worked when you did it, though when I did it 10 minutes ago, it didn't! Dafuq?

Strange things happen. And remember: If there is a map.cache file, delete it. That may solve your problem.

...The door doesn't get locked. Why can't anything work right? D;

...Fixed it by changing "False to "True"
Thanks everyone!!!!!

Hey people, I didn't change anything, the script is still how andyrockin told me, but it started crashing AGAIN, for no reason:

main (8,16) : ERR : expected data type

What the actuall f*** is wrong with this engine? Is it haunted or something?

**The chaser** · 10-13-2012, 08:58 PM

No, it's you Wink

the engine does whatever it has to do. All the fails (or almost all) are human. So, let's see:

You have this:

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()



{



AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Studydooropen", "CollideRoomTwo", true, 0);



AddUseItemCallback("", "bedroomkey_1", "mansion_1", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);



}







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



{



SetSwingDoorClosed("mansion_2", true, true);



}







void UsedKeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)



{



SetSwingDoorLocked("mansion_1", false, true);



PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "mansion_1", 0, false);



RemoveItem("bedroomkey_1");



}







void OnLeave()



{







}

The error is here:

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()



{



AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Studydooropen", "CollideRoomTwo", true, 1);



AddUseItemCallback("", "bedroomkey_1", "mansion_1", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);



}







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



{



SetSwingDoorClosed("mansion_2", true, true);



}







void UsedKeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)



{



SetSwingDoorLocked("mansion_1", false, true);



PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "mansion_1", 0, false);



RemoveItem("bedroomkey_1");



}







void OnLeave()



{







}

The AddEntityCollideCallback always end with a 1 or a -1. When you put 0, the engine turns mad. That was the issue.
