Custom Story Script Problems

[FlawlessHappiness]

My map.cache is in:
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Amnesia - The Dark Descent
\redist\custom_stories\[CUSTOMSTORY]\maps\

i don't know about the Steam version.

What i do when i post pictures is:
Go to the level editor where you want to post the picture>Press "PrtSc SysRq">Go to paint>Ctrl+v>
Crop the most important>Save>There you go

If you are saying that it is in my custom story folder than I can assure you I see no such thing. This is all I have in my folder:
Test
-maps
--01.map
--Test.hps
-custom_story_settings.cfg
-extra_english.lang
-story.png
That is all of the files I have.
also with the picture, that is exactly what I did but it said t was still too big. 500 kilobytes is insanely small, my picture alone was 1.02 mb. Sorry for the inconveniences! but i appreciate the help!
So what do I do now, and am I missing something here with the map_cache?

Nonono... I know this. because you actually have 2 custom story folders! Try looking up what i gave you

I thought I had finally solved the problem, as I realized I had named my .hps file the name of my custom story, not the name of the map. However after I renamed it it still wouldnt do anything. *Sigh* Still need help. If anyone can help me through this mess I would greatly appreciate it, I really want to make my custom story work. Thanks in advance!

I did. I went to the exact path, and im back in the same folder that I just described to you.

Oh well... Hmm

which paramater variable names do I have messed up?

SetSwingDoorLocked(entity, false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", entity, 0, false);
RemoveItem(item);

You should have received the AngelScript output telling you this.

BTW, i meant that the bold words were wrong, not right (see context).

My code right now is this:
////////////////////////////
// Run when starting map
void OnStart()
{
AddUseItemCallback("", "key_1", "castle_1", "KeyOnDoor", true);
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("key_1", "ActivateMonster", true);
}
////////////////////////////
// Run when entering map
void OnEnter()
{
}
////////////////////////////
// Run when leaving map
void OnLeave()
{

}
void ActivateMonster(string &in asItem)
{
SetEntityActive("servant_grunt_1", true);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_2", 0, "Idle");
}
void KeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("castle_1", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "KeyOnDoor", 0, false);
RemoveItem("key_1");
}
What should those values be changed to?

[FlawlessHappiness]

Actually this one:
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "KeyOnDoor", 0, false);


You cannot call a function in this place. That is where you specify where the sound should be played.

In this case i guess it would be "castle_1"

PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "castle_1", 0, false);

But this would not solve the problem...

What if the script isn't done, if it is below OnLeave?

Then it should be:

////////////////////////////
// Run when starting map
void OnStart()
{
AddUseItemCallback("", "key_1", "castle_1", "KeyOnDoor", true);
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("key_1", "ActivateMonster", true);
}

void ActivateMonster(string &in asItem)
{
SetEntityActive("servant_grunt_1", true);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_2", 0, "Idle");
}
void KeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("castle_1", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "KeyOnDoor", 0, false);
RemoveItem("key_1");
}

////////////////////////////
// Run when entering map
void OnEnter()
{
}
////////////////////////////
// Run when leaving map
void OnLeave()
{

}

What should those values be changed to?

PHP Code: (Select All)

void KeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked(asEntity, false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", asEntity, 0, false);
RemoveItem(asItem);
} 


Notice how the variable names reflect the parameters exactly.

Also, if your MAP is named 01.map, then the HPS should be named 01.hps. If nothing from the script works after making these changes, then check if C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore contains any of your custom story files. If so, then you're bound to have consistency issues with your custom story.

I made the changes you showed and then went to check out VirtualStore. This is what I found.
-VirtualStore
--Program Files
---ASCII (figured this had nothing to do with Amnesia)
--Program Files (x86)
---Bethesda Softworks
---E.M. Free Game Capture
---EA GAMES
---iWisoft Flash SWF to Video Converter
--Windows
---(Bunch (4 to be exact) of configuration settings files that I doubt have anything to do with my custom story along with an empty folder with a name that is a bunch of letters and numbers)

Seeing nothing that seemed to have anything to do with my custom story I tried it out and it still wouldnt work sadly... Im sorry for all the trouble.
Heres my current code:
////////////////////////////
// Run when starting map
void OnStart()
{
AddUseItemCallback("", "key_1", "castle_1", "KeyOnDoor", true);
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("key_1", "ActivateMonster", true);
}
////////////////////////////
// Run when entering map
void OnEnter()
{
}
////////////////////////////
// Run when leaving map
void OnLeave()
{

}
void ActivateMonster(string &in asItem)
{
SetEntityActive("servant_grunt_1", true);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_2", 0, "Idle");
}
void KeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("asEntity", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "asEntity", 0, false);
RemoveItem("asItem");
}

[FlawlessHappiness]

SetSwingDoorLocked("asEntity", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "asEntity", 0, false);
RemoveItem("asItem");


you have to specify and object in your world editor. Because i don't think you have objects in your editor called asEntity and asItem.

This will still not solve the problem

Sorry, Im getting confused now. I had them labeled as items in the game but then that guy said to switch them to that so I did and now I need to switch them back. But it didnt work either way before so im still stuck. Im sorry, I wish my question wasnt causing so much trouble but I cant make custom stories until I figure this out.
