It makes the screen black instantly. That's actually a good teting idea. see, if a function isn't working, a visual like THAT would easily tell you if something is wrong with a specific function, or if it is working fine but has a typo somewhere, etc. Understand?

Indeed, I do. I tested the map again, but the screen didn't go black when I opened the chest.

Full code:

Code: (Select All)

bool TriggeredEnemy;

void OnStart() {
    if (ScriptDebugOn()) {
        GiveItemFromFile("lantern", "lantern.ent");
        for(int i=0;i<10;i++) GiveItemFromFile("tinderbox_"+i, "tinderbox.ent");
        /*SetEntityActive("invisWall", false);
        SetEntityActive("blockArea", false);*/
    }
    AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "EnemyTriggerArea", "EnteredEnemyTriggerArea", true, 1);
    AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "BlockArea", "EnteredBlockArea", true, 1);
    SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("chest_small_2", "TriggerSpider", true);
    PlaySoundAtEntity("", "Custom\big_clock_chime.snt", "clock_grandfather_1", 0, false);

Indeed, I do. I've done similar things in the past with other scripting applications.

Help please?

[flamez3]

Your using the wrong syntax, use this
(string &in asEntity, string &in type)


You should check http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/amn..._functions for help with syntaxes and functions.

I've been using that. I didn't realize I can't rename the functions. Whats the type for opening a chest? onInteract?

[flamez3]

SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback(string& asName, string& asCallback, bool abRemoveOnInteraction);
Syntax: (string &in asEntity)

void OnStart()
{
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("chest", "TriggerSpider", true);
}
void TriggerSpider(string &in asEntity)
{
SetEntityActive("spider_1", true);
FadeOut(0);
}

[eagledude4]

I thought

Code: (Select All)

void SetEntityCallbackFunc

and

Code: (Select All)

void SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback

had the same effect? They're both described as "Calls a function when the player interacts with a certain entity."

I replaced my code with what you just quoted, and it isn't working.

Please make sure there are no typos in the level.... That's usually the highest percentage of the "issue list".

Yep, typo. Thanks. Spider doesn't want to move though.
Why did "SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback" work while "SetEntityCallbackFunc" did not? The wiki says the serve the same purpose.

[flamez3]

SetEntityCallbackFunc(string& asName, string& asCallback);
Calls a function when the player interacts with a certain entity.
Callback syntax: void MyFunc(string &in asEntity, string &in type)
Type depends on entity type and includes: “OnPickup”, “Break”, “OnIgnite”, etc
Last line is why I think.

[eagledude4]

Ah, I see. Any reason why the spider doesn't move though?
