So I've been working on a new custom story lately, and in one part you're supposed to walk over a beam. I placed an area in the middle of the beam that is supposed to trigger a function where the beam breaks and you fall into a hole. Now there are two problems when I'm playing the custom story:

1. When I have my crosshair on the beem where the area is placed it changes to a door, as if you were looking at a level door (the area type is script).

2. The beam doesn't break.. Sad

Here's the script for the beam part:

void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "BeamBreakArea", "BeamBreak", true, 1);
}

void BeamBreak(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetPropHealth("wood_beam_1", 0);
SetEntityActive("block_box_3", true);
}

Please help me! Sad

Can the beam even break? is it a breakable entity or is it a static object?

It is a breakable entity Smile

Make sure "DisableBreakable" in the Editor (for the entity itself) is disabled. Names are correct?

If you created the script file while the map was loaded in Amnesia, restart Amnesia.

It is disabled and all the names are right.. Sad

That's an oddity, then. Maybe try with a different "wooden beam" entity? Maybe the one you're trying to use is unbreakable by default. I think "special" is where you can try and look.

I tried looking in "special" but I didn't find anything.. :/ I tried to use a wooden platform instead of the beam but that didn't work either.. Sad

Look at the model editor and take a look. Look at it's values and properties. Maybe there's the key.

you know if it can't break by setting the health to 0, then it will never break i guess.. Unless you pretend to by playing some sounds, using some particle effects and sets it inactive.

If you are using the hole from the prison, then you will have to know that that is actually a level door. I had the same problem with that one... Didn't know where the level door game from...
