[SCRIPT] This won't work for some reason...

[ElectricRed]

I wrote a simple script and for some reason it's not working. I've tried everything. (Yes, I double checked the name of the area in the level editor. )

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "AreaSeeMonster", "SeeMonster", true, 1);
}

void SeeMonster(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
    SetEntityActive("monster_1");
    StartPlayerLookAt("monster_1", 2.0f, 2.0f, "");
    GiveSanityDamage(15, true);
    AddDebugMessage("SeeMonster", false);
}

I get no errors when loading the map or anything. It just doesn't work. The debug message doesn't show up either. Is there a reason why this could be happening?

Thanks.

Everything in your script appears to be correct. Is the name of the .hps file the same as the .map file? Are they located in the same folder? Is the area "AreaSeeMonster" active in the level editor?

Also, if you have a .cache file in the same folder as your map, delete it. It prevents changes in the level editor from appearing in game; perhaps its preventing the script area from appearing altogether. Oh, and add OnEnter/OnLeave functions to your hps file as well.

Those are all of the immediate problems/fixes I can think of. Good luck.

Well, there are other scripts in the map that are working fine. It's just this one that isn't working, so I figured it was the script itself. I tried deleting the map cache, but nothing happened. The area is active in the level editor.

Thanks for the response.

Make sure the Area name is called "AreaSeeMonster"

Yeah it is...

Okay, so I messed around with a ton of stuff, including just rewriting the script from scratch, and somehow it started working. I have no idea how or why, but at least it's fixed! Thanks for the help. >.<

I noticed you missed the end } in SeeMonster. Not sure if you just missed that when you copy pasted. Glad to see you got it resolved tho.
