Code help: Trigger when lit

[The worst submarine]

Candles actually have an option in their entity options called CallbackFunc, and one of the Types it can function as is 'OnIgnite', much easier with much less inventory checking. Basically, you define a function name for it to point to, for example I tested it with 'testignite' as the function name. Then, in your script, you have something like this:

Code: (Select All)

void testignite(string &in EntityName, string &in Type)
{
    if(Type == "OnIgnite")
    {
        AddDebugMessage("Ignited_callback_scare", false);
        PlaySoundAtEntity("rawr", "guardian_ontop.snt", "Player", 0.0f, false);
    }
}

In that fully functional sample, when the candle is ignited with a tinderbox, it sends out a debug message and a scary sound.

I finally got the code working, and then I decided to come back and say that I'd finished. Now I find a much, much easier way to do what I've done! Haha. Thanks, I'll definitely replace my code with this. Much less loopholes.
