Having a slight problem...

[TrollingForever]

I`m having a slight problem. I am trying to figure out how to activate an entity when two altar_knifes are used, but I cannot. I tryed achieving this by using "if" commands as well, but with no success. Here is the part of my .hps in which this problem occurs:

Code: (Select All)

}

void TurnRed2(string &in asEntity)

{
        SetEntityActive("special_altar_static_knife_4", false);
    SetEntityActive("special_altar_static_knife_5", true);
    GivePlayerDamage(5.0f, "BloodSplat", false, false);
}

void TurnRed(string &in asEntity)

{
        SetEntityActive("special_altar_static_knife_2", false);
    SetEntityActive("special_altar_static_knife_3", true);
    GivePlayerDamage(5.0f, "BloodSplat", false, false);
}

The SetEntityActive parts do this - after the Player "uses" the altar_static_knife, a static_knife_bloody appears.
Anyway, the thing I`m trying to achieve here is after the Player "uses" both knifes, an Orb spawns in it`s designated place, but I do not know how to do this. Hopefully I was clear enough xD Thanks for the help in advance!

Try doing something like this:

PHP Code: (Select All)

OnStart()
{

//Sets up variable
SetLocalVarInt("OrbCheck",0);

}

...

void TurnRed()
{
...
//Adds local variable, checks if the other knife has been used
AddLocalVarInt("OrbCheck",1);
OrbCheckFunction();
}

void TurnRed2()
{
...
//Adds local variable, checks if other knife has been used
AddLocalVarInt("OrbCheck",1);
OrbCheckFunction();
}

void OrbCheckFunction()
{
//This function checks if both knives have been used
if(GetLocalVarInt("OrbCheck") == 2)
{
SetEntityActve("Orb",true);
}

} 


Eh, that looks pretty rough and I haven't tested, but I hope it gives you a general idea.

Thanks for the reply! I think I did not fully understand you. Do I have to put the SetLocalVarInt in OnStart like this:

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
    AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "end_script", "FadeOut", true, 1);
    AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Start_lookat", "LookAtBodies", true, 1);
    AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Start_wakeup", "WakeDaFuckUp", true, 1);
    AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Start_music", "StartDaMusic", true, 1);
    AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Activate_Scary", "StartScary", true, 1);
    SetLocalVarInt("OrbCheck",0);    
    InteractConnectPropWithMoveObject("leverSlideDoor", "level_open_slide", "safety_normal_vert_1", true, false, 0);
}

Also, if you need it, here is my entire .hps (you can ignore the CollideCallbacks, it`s not connected to this):

Sorry to say it but wrong sub forum, if a moderator could move it to development support I will be happy once its there I can help ;D

[Tomato Cat]

Ah, yes, sorry. I meant for you to add the SetLocalVarInt to your existing OnStart.

Also, it doesn't seem you have any use item callbacks. Since you're using 2 knives, you'll need to add 2 of them.

PHP Code: (Select All)

AddUseItemCallback(string& asName, string& asItem, string& asEntity, string& asFunction, bool abAutoDestroy);

Thanks! I have the ItemCallbacks, but to cut down the writing in the .hps file, I added them in the Map Editor Also, I thought I posted in the right place, sry.

[Tomato Cat]

Oh, I didn't even know you could do that. =o Anyhow, does the script work?

Actually, I'm not sure putting the use item callbacks into the editor works.

The use item calback function is called when the item (one of the knives) is used on an entity (I'm guessing script area?). Adding the callback in the editor calls said function when the player interacts with the item, not the item with the entity.

[TrollingForever]

I`m sorry to say, but now I got even more confused xD This is what I wrote in the .hps file:

Code: (Select All)

void TurnRed2(string &in asEntity)

{
    SetEntityActive("special_altar_static_knife_4", false);
    SetEntityActive("special_altar_static_knife_5", true);
    GivePlayerDamage(5.0f, "BloodSplat", false, false);
    AddLocalVarInt("OrbCheck",1);
    OrbCheckFunction();
}

void TurnRed(string &in asEntity)

{
    SetEntityActive("special_altar_static_knife_2", false);
    SetEntityActive("special_altar_static_knife_3", true);
    GivePlayerDamage(5.0f, "BloodSplat", false, false);
    AddLocalVarInt("OrbCheck",1);
    OrbCheckFunction();
}

void OrbCheckFunction()

{
    if(GetLocalVarInt("OrbCheck") == 2)
{
SetEntityActve("orb_pedestal_1",true);
SetEntityActve("orb_pedistal_tar_1",true);
SetEntityActve("orb_1",true);
}

}

I`m hoping I did this correctly (I haven`t tryed it out yet).

EDIT: When I said I added the Callbacks in the Map Editor, I meant for the PlayerInteractCallback in Entity tab.

[Tomato Cat]

That's correct.

But you'll have to add a use item callback (see my above post) if you want the player to use the knives on something.

...Unless you just want the player to pick up the knives? Which wouldn't make sense because they're both have "static" in their names.

Uh, I'm a bit confused. o.O

The "player interact" callback is when the player interacts with the entity, like picking it up. As opposed to "using" the item, which is an item-entity interaction.

[TrollingForever]

That's correct.

To "unconfuze" you, here is the picture of the knife
When the Player interacts with both knifes (same as this one), the Orb (with it`s pedestal) should spawn.
