Problem 3 : ( Giving a custom item function ) *SOLVED*

Spoiler below!

Basic: GiveItem(name, type, subType, image, amount);

Problem: How can i add a custom to be given to the player when using a knife item on another entity?

Here is my script , but i couldn't know how to make the player get an item when using the knife on the entity.


void UsedKnifeOnPig(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)

{

GiveItem(Key_0, puzzle, subType, image, amount); //<---- The problem

PlaySoundAtEntity("", "attack_claw_hit.snt", "piggy", 0, false);

SetSwingDoorLocked("Locked_door0", false, true);

RemoveItem("pig_knife");

}

Solution: GiveItem("stone_hammer_chipper", "Puzzle", "stone_hammer_chipper", "stone_hammer_chipper.tga", 0);

stone_hammer_chipper: Change it to you'r items name
stone_hammer_chipper.tga: The image of the item inside the inventory

Problem 4 : ( Playing music not working ) *SOLVED*

Spoiler below!

Problem: The function: PlaySoundAtEntity( Scream1 , Scream1.ogg, Deadbody_1 , 2.0f, false);
is not working , i get an error " Scream1 is not declared and Deadbody_1 is not declared.

Solution: Function: PlaySoundAtEntity( "Scream1" , "Scream1.snt", "Deadbody_1" , 2.0f, false);
Scream1: The sound's name
Scream1.snt: The sound file's .snt file
Deadbody_1: The entity to play the sound from
2.0f: Time til the sound fades

To play you'r .ogg files you need a .snt file so create a new text document and write this in:


<SOUNDENTITY>
<SOUNDS>
<Main>
<Sound File="Scream1" />
</Main>
</SOUNDS>
<PROPERTIES Volume="5" MinDistance="1" MaxDistance="20" Random="1" Interval="0" FadeEnd="False" FadeStart="False" Stream="False" Loop="False" Use3D="True" Blockable="True" BlockVolumeMul="0.5" Priority="0" />
</SOUNDENTITY>

Change Scream1 to the sound file's name from the script

And then save the file as Scream1.snt


(And Of course change scream1 to sound's name)

PlayMusic("example.ogg", true, 1, 1, 0, false);

That's how you play a song.

Replace "example.ogg" with the music's name that you intend to use. Include the .ogg extension.

PlayMusic("example.ogg", true, 1, 1, 0, false);

That's how you play a song.

Replace "example.ogg" with the music's name that you intend to use. Include the .ogg extension.

Thanks , also is the music file is placed in a separate folder called "Music"?

[Robby]

Well, that's what I do with custom music. But you can play normal music from the game itself, without having to place it in a custom "Music" folder. Just be sure the name is correct.

I did what you told me , and i did it like this:




void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Play_Music_Script_Area", "PlayMusic1", true, 1);
}

void PlayMusic1(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
PlayMusic("Ambience.ogg", true, 1, 1, 0, false);
}

But it didn't play when i touched the script area

[Robby]

Is the music name correct? Are the script names within the editor correct?

Also, have you tried restarting Amnesia? If I add custom music to my CS, I have to restart Amnesia, because it wouldn't play.

And the script's ok, as I see.

[The chaser]

Also, be sure the name is exactly the same. And maybe is ambience.ogg instead of Ambience.ogg?

[Robby]

I keep forgetting. Yes, the names are case-sensitive.

[The chaser]

If your music is custom, it should be ok, but Ambience doesn't exist. Put the name
(ex: "ambience_cave")

[naseem142]

When i clicked the "Music" Folder there was a new file called "Ambience_main.ogg.sfk" does that mean it worked?
