death ending

[Storfigge]

I'm making an ending kind of cutscene and this is what I want to happen.

You pick up a note and once you've read it you'll turn 180 degrees and see a grunt behind you, the grunt will kill you and after that the credits will roll.

As a newbie amnesia modder I'm completely clueless on how to do this so if someone could give me a good explanation on how to do it I would be very grateful

I'm not sure if you know how to use the following scripts, but if you don't, I'll go into further detail:

Set a PlayerInteractCallback for the note, so that when they pick it up, the following things happen:

CheckPoint
SetPlayerActive (false)
SetEntityActive (grunt)
SetPlayerLookAt (grunt)

And put EndCredits under the checkpoint's function.

Damascus explained:

Code: (Select All)

void NoteInteract (string &in asEntity) ////This is the callback assigned to the note
{
SetPlayerActive(false);
SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback("Look_at_area", "Dacallback", true);////When the player stops reading the note, it will look to an area.
StartPlayerLookAt("Look_at_area", 1, 1, "");
}

void Dacallback(string &in asEntity, int alState)
{
StartPlayerLookAt("Look_at_area_2", 1, 1, ""); ///This is behind the grunt that will appear
SetEntityActive("Grunt", true);
ShowEnemyPlayerPosition("Grunt");
}

I think this is enough.

Would appreciate if you could go into further detail ^^

Oh didn't see that The Chaser had replyed thanks alot for the help will try that out though i still don't know how to do the credits after I die.

Add this into your note's callback.

CheckPoint ("", "PlayerStartArea_1", "EndGame", "[.LANG CATEGORY]", "[.LANG ENTRY]");

And add this a separate function:

void EndGame(string &in asName, int alCount)
{
StartCredits(["MUSIC FILE]", (true/false for looping music), "Ending", "Credits", 5);
}

Make sure your credits are in the Ending category under the Credits entry.

Also... if you are ready to make it a little more advanced, you can edit the grunt to make its damage 100. Because right now, a single hit from the grunt will not kill you

Yea that sounds like a good idea and one that I know how to fix to

[darksky]

or you could just set the player health to 1

OR you could trap the player in the room. So he has to run around taking hits from the grunt until he dies. Idk all valid ideas.

Setting the players health to one would make the screen go red and blurry, and wouldn't (I guess), not give the right feeling

A little weird ending, if you know how to avoid it, isn't it?
