What's wrong with this script?

[Strembitsky]

Code: (Select All)

//===========================================
     // Starter's Script File!
     //===========================================

     //===========================================
     // This runs when the map first starts
     void OnStart()
     {
          AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "Collide_Area", true, 1);
     }
     void Collide_Area(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)      
     {
          [void FadeEnemyToSmoke(string& servant_grunt, bool abPlaySound);]
     }

     //===========================================
     // This runs when the player enters the map
     void OnEnter()
     {
     }

     //===========================================
     // This runs when the player leaves the map
     void OnLeave()
     {
     }

It is meant to poof away a monster once you enter the area. Whenever I try to open the map in Amnesia, the game stops responding with an always unique error message.

I have! I also am currently following the tutorial on the wiki. Nothing is different in my code than the one on the wiki. Also, the error message always says that the code on the 13th line isn't right, so that means the function isn't written correctly. Could you please help?

[void FadeEnemyToSmoke(string& servant_grunt, bool abPlaySound);]

must be

FadeEnemyToSmoke("servant_grunt", true);

FYI, square brackets are normally used for accessing array indexes.

[Strembitsky]

[void FadeEnemyToSmoke(string& servant_grunt, bool abPlaySound);]

must be

FadeEnemyToSmoke("servant_grunt", true);

Thank you oh so very much
