Help needed! I can't find error in script.

**Tozken** · 02-26-2012, 02:20 PM

Okay, so I'm kinda new to this so bear with me Tongue

I've encountered a problem that makes me unable to enter the map, but I can't seem to find the problem in the script. It says that a ';' is expected in row 29.

Here's my script:

void OnStart()
{
if(ScriptDebugOn())
{
GiveItemFromFile("lantern", "lantern.ent");
}
PlaySoundAtEntity("RockRumble", "general_rock_rumble.snt", "Player", 0, false);
StartScreenShake(0.05f, 1, 0.4, 0.6);
AddTimer("", 1, "StopRockRumble");
SetPlayerCrouching(true);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "Message1", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_2", "AOESanityDmg", false, 1);
}

void StopRockRumble(string &in asTimer)
{
StopSound("RockRumble", 1);
}

void Message1(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetMessage("Messages", "Popup3", 0);
}

void AOESanityDmg(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
GiveSanityDamage(5, false);
if(GetEntitiesCollide("Player", "ScriptArea_2"))
{
AddTimer("", 2, "AOESanityDmg");
}
}

What I want AOESanityDmg to do is if the player is located inside ScriptArea_2 he should be damaged with 5 sanity dmg every 2 seconds... I don't think that it is working but it seems like there's something else that is wrong with the script, because I removed some script before so that I didn't have 29 rows of script, but the error still remained... Anyone know how to fix it? Smile

Thx in advance

Hey man!

I'm also new at this, but I know you shouldn't have more that TWO '}' in void OnStart.

Like this

void OnStart()

{
AddEntityCollideCallback....
.......
}

Hope that helps you some? Smile

Okey, so.. I tested it out and with this following script, everything should do it! Smile

void OnStart()
{
if(ScriptDebugOn())
GiveItemFromFile("lantern", "lantern.ent");
PlaySoundAtEntity("RockRumble", "general_rock_rumble.snt", "Player", 0, false);
StartScreenShake(0.05f, 1, 0.4, 0.6);
AddTimer("", 1, "StopRockRumble");
SetPlayerCrouching(true);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "Message1", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_2", "AOESanityDmg", false, 1);
}

void StopRockRumble(string &in asTimer)
{
StopSound("RockRumble", 1);
}

void Message1(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetMessage("Messages", "Popup3", 0);
}

void AOESanityDmg(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
GiveSanityDamage(5, true);

}

Thanks for your help! Unfortunately, it didn't work. It was something with the .map file I think.... I tried creating a new map with the same things and same script and it worked. Thanks again anyway!

Dude you have this "
AddTimer("", 2, "AOESanityDmg");
}
}"

You should have

{

}

He is using a If statement, he needs the other } there.

this might work.
void OnStart()
{
if(ScriptDebugOn())
}
GiveItemFromFile("lantern", "lantern.ent");
{
PlaySoundAtEntity("RockRumble", "general_rock_rumble.snt", "Player", 0, false);

void StopRockRumble(string &in asTimer)
{
StopSound("RockRumble", 1);
}

void Message1(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)

I think that the timer at the end of the script is ignored, because a new "part" isn't started like so:

Spoiler below!

I'm new to scripting, but wanted to add my 2 cents. Maybe I'll learn something from this thread Smile
