Help with hps script! (OnPickup)

[Fozzarn]

Hi, so i saw the Activate Enemy on Item Pickup guide, but i wonder can u activate props? like statues? I tried , and no error is given when launching Amnesia, but when i pick up the key nothing happens...

I do have lots of other scripts working, so i know that i placed SetEntity, void OnPickup and dat shit on the right place. below is NOT my whole hps file, only the lines needed. I am also sure dat my key name is "key4"
Heres my Hps:

SetEntityCallbackFunc("key_4", "OnPickup");


void OnPickup(string &in asEntity, string &in type)
{
SetEntityActive("ac1", true);
SetEntityActive("ac2", true);
SetEntityActive("ac3", true);
SetEntityActive("ac4", true);
SetEntityActive("ac5", true);
SetEntityActive("ac6", true);
SetEntityActive("ac7", true);
SetEntityActive("ac8", true);
SetEntityActive("bt1", true);
SetEntityActive("bt2", true);
SetEntityActive("bt3", true);
SetEntityActive("bt4", true);
GiveSanityDamage(10.0f, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "00_laugh.snt", "Player", 0, false);
}

I'm not sure if this is it but a game can run a whole script without any fatal errors if a syntax is incorrect. So the game runs, but that function does not work. Try changing the callback to this:

void OnPickup(string &in asEntity, string &in asType)

}

this is just a wild guess... really i,ve never tried it myself.
but you could try to replace the " SetEntityCallbackFunc " with "SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback"
here is what the engine scripts page says about that


void SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback(string& asName, string& asCallback, bool abRemoveOnInteraction);
Calls a function when the player interacts with a certain entity.
Callback
syntax: void MyFunc(string &in asEntity)
asName - internal name
asCallback - function to
call
abRemoveOnInteraction - determines whether the callback should
be removed when the player interacts with the entity
good luck

Hmm, tried to replace
SetEntityCallbackFunc("key_4", "OnPickup");

with
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("key4", "OnPickup", false);

but same results not working :/

Also tried to fix
void OnPickup(string &in asEntity, string &in asType)


but nothing

the only thing i can see wrong in that is then,,,,
you said your key name was key4 but in the script it says key_4 ... i dont know if that was a spellling mistake or??? oh and note : SCRIPTS ARE CASE SENSITIVE!!! if the key in the editor is Key4 and the name in the script is key4 with a small " k " it wont read it as a script, so make sure that is right too.
