Brute doesn't want to go away.

[The Shanus]

Okay, so I've scripted an event, but would like the brute to despawn at the area "brute1stoparea".

I'm sure there's something wrong with my script, I just can't see it.

Here's my relevant script:

PHP Code: (Select All)

void OnEnter()
{
AddUseItemCallback("", "room101key", "room101", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);
AddUseItemCallback("", "room100key", "room100", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);
AddUseItemCallback("", "hollow_needle_1", "padlock_rusty_1", "unlock_prison_section_1", true);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "prison_1swingarea", "func_slam", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "intromusic1", "playintromusic1", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("brute1", "brute1stoparea", "endbrute1", true, 1);
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("prison_1", "func_slam", true);
SetEntityCallbackFunc("room100key", "OnPickup");
SetEntityCallbackFunc("NOTETWO", "OnPickup");
}

void endbrute1(string &in asEntity)
{
SetEntityActive("brute1", false);
} 


I get no errors, but he doesn't deactivate at the area.

Improper syntax for the endbrute1 script (syntax is the stuff inside the "()"). You have:

void endbrute1(string &in asEntity)
{
SetEntityActive("brute1", false);
}

it should be


void endbrute1(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("brute1", false);
}

Also, you should have all callbacks under the "void OnStart()", not OnEnter.

Thanks alot. How do I know which arguments to use in the bracket? For future reference.
I'm also wondering - how do I change the amount of oil in the lantern when it's picked up? There are no tutorials for it.

SetPlayerLampOil(float afOil);

max amount is 100.0f, min is 0.0f

SetPlayerLampOil(float afOil);

max amount is 100.0f, min is 0.0f

Great, thanks a bunch.

This page:

has all of the callback syntax listed; just search for the function using "ctrl+f", (for example, search entitycollidecallback). Generally, after the function is listed there will be details; most callbacks will have this afterwards:


Calls a function when two entites collide.
Callback syntax: void MyFunc(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
^^ Callback syntax is what you need.


The bolded part is what you need. It is note worthy that sometimes they're not fully written out, like in some cases a part will be written like: "string &in entity" instead of "string &in asEntity", but that shouldn't cause too many problems within the script

Oh, got it! So I'll just search for callback and keep going till it looks like the one I need :p Thanks mate, you've been a great help. And FastHunteR too! Always there for me +1 rep.
