Script Problems

[Adrianis]

When i was seeing the script functions on the Script Functions thread, what does internal name mean?

Off-topic first - unfortunately as far as I can tell, the usage of 'internal name' changes.
Sometimes it's the name for the callback/connection you have made, for example in AddUseItemCallback, internal name refers to the name of the callback you have made, so that you can use RemoveCallback with that name to remove it.
But then there are several examples, such as SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback, where internal name refers to the name of the entity.
It's a little inconsistent.

PHP Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{ 
   AddUseItemCallback("", "StrangeDoorKey", "StrangeDoor", "UnlockStrangeDoor", false);
   SetEntityCallbackFunc("GuestRoomKey", "ActiveEntity");
   AddUseItemCallback("", "GuestRoomKey", "door01", "UnlockDoor", false);
}
     

void UnlockDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("door01", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "Unlock_door", "door01", 0, false);
RemoveItem("GuestRoomKey");
}


void ActiveEntity(string &in asEntity, string &in type)
{
SetEntityActive("corpse01", true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "12_girl_scream.snt", "corpse01", 0, false);
StartScreenShake(0.5f, 2, 0, 0.25);
}


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

{
SetSwingDoorLocked("StrangeDoor", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "StrangeDoor", 0, false);
RemoveItem("StrangeDoorKey");
} 


Just a note, PlaySoundAtEntity function, the sound name requires the .snt extension
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "Unlock_door.snt", "door01", 0, false);
Also, UnlockDoor func uses uppercase Unlock_door for the sound name, wheras UnlockStrangeDoor uses lowercase unlock_door, one of those is wrong.


On the actual problem of the 'cannot use item this way' message, try giving the AddUseItemCallback an internal name (the first parameter), something like "callback1" & "callback2" just to test if that's the issue, and double check the names of the keys in the inventory & the doors

This thread is the longest script error thread.

I had one go 8 pages before iirc, that one basically came down to me begging the guy not to give up on it xD

Hopefully this won't end the same way!

First I got the "no matching signatures to AddUseItemCallback1" error so i tried to change the void function instead but I got the cannot use this item thi way error anyway. I dont understand, it works with the first door but not with the second one.

Try removing the

PHP Code: (Select All)

SetEntityCallbackFunc 


It may work.

Sorry if you misunderstood, but I didn't fix anything, the code I posted was yours un-edited

Can you post your most recent script up?

PHP Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{ 
   AddUseItemCallback("", "StrangeDoorKey", "StrangeDoor", "UnlockStrangeDoor", false);
   SetEntityCallbackFunc("GuestRoomKey", "ActiveEntity");
   AddUseItemCallback("", "GuestRoomKey", "door01", "UnlockDoor", false);
}
     

void UnlockDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("door01", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door.snt", "door01", 0, false);
RemoveItem("GuestRoomKey");
}


void ActiveEntity(string &in asEntity, string &in type)

} 


I don't know what is wrong. There is nothing wrong with it. The SetEntityCallbackFunc was correct. Taken from the script functions page;

PHP Code: (Select All)

void SetEntityCallbackFunc(string& asName, string& asCallback); 


Since

PHP Code: (Select All)

string & asName 


was the internal name and

PHP Code: (Select All)

string& asCallback 


is stated as the callback.

Here's the most recent scriptings I've made

void OnStart ()

SetEntityCallbackFunc("GuestRoomKey", "jump");
AddUseItemCallback("", "GuestRoomKey", "door01", "UsedKeyOnDoor", false);

{
SetSwingDoorLocked("door01", false, true);

}


void jump(string &in asEntity, string &in type)
{
SetEntityActive("corpse01", true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "12_girl_scream.snt", "corpse01", 0, false);

EDIT: Wait, you've got 2 functions called UsedKeyOnDoor. Name one of those different, because as it is that won't work

I've tried to name it something else but then it cant find the function (or cant read it) any idea what I can name it to?
