Entity Activate/Deactivate?

[Bonehead]

I'm trying something sneaky. I want it so when the player picks up the pot full of chemicals the two suits of armor in the other room (entities) Deactivate... Then two suits of armor directly behind the player which are inactive, activate. I just have no idea on how to go about it in scripting. Anyone have any pointers?

SetEntityActive("nameoftheentity, "false");

Not sure if thats what you mean.

Yep, it can be done.

PHP Code: (Select All)

OnStart()
{
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("Chemical_Pot", "StatueAppear", true);
}

void StatueAppear(string &in asEntity)
{
SetEntityActive("Statue_1", false); //Statue in other room
SetEntityActive("Statue_2", false); //Statue in other room
SetEntityActive("Statue_3", true); //Statue behind you
SetEntityActive("Statue_4", true); //Statue behind you
} 


Just make sure in your level editor, the "Statue_x" is named as it is in script, so if my statue were actually named boo, I would need to name the statue in the script boo.

Also, in the level editor, make sure the statues behind you are inactive and are close enough to the player to scare if this is your point, but can also allow the player to move away. Make sure as well that the player cannot get stuck inside the statues.

,Thank you very much guys.. I'm slowly getting the hang of this. Tested it out and it worked great.. but now it's lacking sound. I want to make it play a sound behind the player. The particular sound being "impact_wood_heavy_low3" but when I try this the sound repeats itself nontstop.. sorry for asking so many questions.

void PlaySoundAtEntity(string& asSoundName, string& asSoundFile, string& asEntity, float afFadeTime, bool abSaveSound);

void PlayMusic(string& asMusicFile, bool abLoop, float afVolume, float afFadeTime, int alPrio, bool abResume);

Which one are you using.

this is what I had... and now it's not working at all..

void OnPickup(string &in asEntity, string &in type)
{
SetEntityActive("armour_nice_complete_8", true);
SetEntityActive("armour_nice_complete_7", true);
SetEntityActive("armour_nice_complete_6", false);
SetEntityActive("armour_nice_complete_5", false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("armour_nice_complete_8", "", 0, false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("armour_nice_complete_7", "", 0, false);
}

It don't have a sound file to load

[Bonehead]

My bad.. had it down wrong..

void OnPickup(string &in asEntity, string &in type)
{
SetEntityActive("armour_nice_complete_8", true);
SetEntityActive("armour_nice_complete_7", true);
SetEntityActive("armour_nice_complete_6", false);
SetEntityActive("armour_nice_complete_5", false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("armour_nice_complete_8", "impact_wood_heavy_low3.snt", 0, false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("armour_nice_complete_7", "impact_wood_heavy_low3.snt", 0, false);
}

Replace your playsoundatentity with

PlaySoundAtEntity("", "nameofthesound", "wherethesoundcomesfrom", 0.1, true);

And ofcourse change the sound name and where the sound comes from to what it should be
