Show message when you try to open a locked door?

[cheztheguy]

Hi, I'm working on my map again and I'm trying to make a message show on the screen when the player tries to open a door and it is locked.

Here's my whole script...

Spoiler below!

void OnStart()
{
GiveSanityDamage(25.0f, true);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "False", "FalseChase", true, 0);
SetPlayerLampOil(0.0f);
}

void FalseChase(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetPlayerActive(false);
GiveSanityDamage(25.0f, true);
StartEffectFlash(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
AddTimer("FalseChaseTimer", 1.0f, "FalseChaseTimed");
}

void FalseChaseTimed(string &in asTimer)
{
SetPlayerActive(true);
SetEntityActive("servant_grunt_1", true);
StartPlayerLookAt("servant_grunt_1", 7, 50, "");
SetEnemyIsHallucination("servant_grunt_1", true);
ShowEnemyPlayerPosition("servant_grunt_1");
AddTimer("FalseChaseEnd", 0.5f, "StopLookAtEnemy");
}

void StopLookAtEnemy(string &in asTimer)
{
StopPlayerLookAt();
}

void InteractClosedDoor(string &in asEntity)
{
AddTimer("Door", 0.5f, "DoorLockedMessage");
}

void DoorLockedMessage(string &in asTimer)
{
SetMessage("LockedDoor-Brute", "BruteDoorLocked", 7.0f);
}

Here is my whole extra_english.lang file...

Is this correct? Because I try to open the door in the game and nothing shows up on screen.

In the Level Editor, when I click on the door to show the message when it's locked, here are the fields in the Entity tab...

(checked)CastShadows
(unchecked)StaticPhysics
(unchecked)IsAffectedByDecal

CallbackFunc (blank)
ConnectedProps (blank)
ConnectionStateChangeCallback (blank)

(checked)FullGameSave

PlayerLookAtCallback (blank)

(unchecked)PlayerLookAtCallbackAutoRemo...

PlayerInteractCallback "InteractClosedDoor"

(unchecked)PlayerInteractCallbackAutoRemo...
(checked)Locked
OpenAmount - 0
(unchecked)DisableBreakable

Thanks!

I think, try changing

SetMessage("LockedDoor-Brute", "BruteDoorLocked", 7.0f);

to

SetMessage("Message", "BruteDoorLocked", 7.0f);

Seeing as "Message" is the category BruteDoorLocked is in, not LockedDoor-Brute

Ohhh. Okay. Thanks! Gah, sometimes I just don't know what's wrong.

That happens to all scripters, even to experienced ones

Also, why are you putting the message on a timer exactly? Wouldn't it be easier to put it right in the Interact command?

Correction:
The category is "Messages."

A small "S" can make it still not show up

If your still having trouble, do that.

Also, Why do you have a timer? Just use an interact command.
