Amnesia Scripting help?

[taylor122002]

Hello everybody! I have a question about Scripting. I actually started doing this less than a week ago, so I know nothing. Anyways, I am making little maps for me learn the basics of Scripting. My first map was called "ScriptTest" which was learning how to do Journal Entries, which I managed to learn. Now, I made a map called "ScriptTest2", and I'm using this map to figure out how to unlock doors. And I'm stuck. I was wondering if anybody could look at these functions and see if they're correct or if I did something wrong? I got the key name and description down correctly. But the unlocking the door part..?

The key's CustomSubItemTypeName is "Key1" and the actual name is just "Key_1", and the door's name is "LockedDoor1"

extra_english.lang file:

<LANGUAGE>
<CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMain">
<Entry Name="Description">Just a description.</Entry>
</CATEGORY>

<CATEGORY Name="Journal">
<Entry Name="Note_Test01_Name">Mysterious Note</Entry>
<Entry Name="Note_Test01_Text">How did you get here, you're probably wondering. You will never escape.</Entry>
</CATEGORY>

<CATEGORY Name="Inventory">
<Entry Name="ItemDesc_Key1">A simple key</Entry>
<Entry Name="ItemName_Key1">A key to unlock a nearby door</Entry>
</CATEGORY>

</LANGUAGE>

------------------------------------------
ScriptTest2.hps file:

////////////////////////////
// Run when the map starts
void OnStart()
{
AddUseItemCallback("", "Key1", "LockedDoor1", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);
}

void UsedKeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("LockedDoor1", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "LockedDoor1", 0, false);
RemoveItem("Key1");
}


////////////////////////////
// Run when entering map
void OnEnter()
{

}

////////////////////////////
// Run when leaving map
void OnLeave()
{

}
---------------------------

Whenever I test play it, it says that I can't use the item on anything when I go up to the door.

Both the .hps and .lang files are fine, no mistakes. I have 2 ideas as to what is causing this problem for you:

1. You map and hps files are not located in the same folder, they do not have the same exact name as each other, or your .hps wasn't converted properly into a c++ script file and is still a text (.txt) file.

2. The names in your script are not the same as the names of the item/entity (key/door) in the level editor. For future reference, you have a much smaller chance of misspelling something if you copy/paste directly from the editor into your hps file.

Hope that helped.

There is a mistake in your .hps file , you're using the CustomSubItemTypeName instead of the key's name in your script , try this :



////////////////////////////

// Run when the map starts
void OnStart()

{
AddUseItemCallback("", "Key_1", "LockedDoor1", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);
}

void UsedKeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("LockedDoor1", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "LockedDoor1", 0, false);
RemoveItem("Key_1");
}

////////////////////////////

// Run when entering map

void OnEnter()
{

}

////////////////////////////

// Run when leaving map

void OnLeave()
{

}

I would really appreciate +rep if it worked

I guess his key name is Key1. If it was the default name it would be something like key_study_1.

He clearly said that the CustomSubItemTypeName of the key is Key1 , and the name of the key is Key_1 , his script wasn't working because his puted the CustomSubItemName instead of th actula key name.

[FlawlessHappiness]

Oh yea you're right! I guess the CustomSubItemName is only used in the .lang?

[onv]

Yep , it's only used in the extra_english.lang
