Lever Opening a Bookcase [SOLVED]

[Thor]

One more suggestion, have you made a scriptarea for where the bookcase is supposed to follow?

I made the area the tutorial indicated I should and set it as the angular offset area for the shelf.
Is there another area I need for this script to work?

Uh.....no, I don't think so, maybe you should restart and do the tutorial again.

Well I found the problem: in the hpl.log file it says that the script file does not exist even though it's very clearly sitting in the same folder as the map file which it finds and opens with no problem.

That said I'm not really sure how to go about fixing this unless there's something syntactically wrong with my script file (it is supposed to be "mapname.hps" where "mapname" is the name of the map right?)

Exact same as the map name:

mapname.map
mapname.hps

And it is supposed to be the same folder as the map.

Is that your whole script you posted? Because something could be making it wrong. Post your entire script.

This is my first foray into scripting so all I've got is the one function.

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
void SetEntityConnectionStateChangeCallback(string& "lever", string& "func_shelf");
}


void func_shelf(string &in asEntity, int alState)
{
    if (alState == 1)
    {
    SetMoveObjectState(string& "shelf", float 1.0);
    PlaySoundAtEntity("", "quest_completed.snt", "shelf_move_1.snt", 0, false);
          return;
    }
}

and this is the error I get in the hpl file:

ERROR: Script file C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\amnesia the dark descent\maps\mymaps\room1\room1.hps does not exist!

[GreyFox]

Do you have this a dev Enviorment? or is it just standard Amnesia?

If it's standard Amnesia, but all your files (for you map) in the Custom Storys Folder, instead of the Maps folder

would I need to change the file permissions on the script?

[flamez3]

.......To be honest, I would make it like this:


Amnesia/Custom_Stories/Yourcustomstory/maps/ch01/room1.map and room1.hps <----they go in there, if I read correctly you said that you have a folder for each room. Don't do that, try what I said above and post what happens.

I just have the one room to test scripts in here's the folder:

Do mean a favor open that folder up and press "Alt", Go to tools and folder options, then go to the view Tab. and Look for "Hide Extensions for Known File Types", and Uncheck mark it and hit apply.

You'll see your .HPS file will say. room1.hps.txt

Erase the .txt and A Pop up will appear click yes. then test your script.

There you go, It's not a HPS file, it's a Text document at the moment, do what Grey said and it should work.
