[REQUEST] Checkpoints - asName? Please help. :]

[LowKeeee]

Hey guys, I'm having a really big problem with my checkpoints. It's something simple I am sure but I need to figure out what the asName... or internal name is. The part of the code in bold below is what I need to know how to name. I have tried putting in the start area name but to no avail, so I'm not really sure. I would greatly appreciate any help!

void CheckPoint (string& asName, string& asStartPos, string& asCallback, string& asDeathHintCat, string& asDeathHintEntry);

Thanks guys!

asName is the internal name for the checkpoint. You can make it anything you want and it is stored in the asName variable in the callback:

PHP Code: (Select All)

void MyFunc(string &in asName, int alCount) 


For example, if you had two checkpoints calling the same function, one with the internal name "check01" and the other "check02", you could do something like this:

PHP Code: (Select All)

void CheckPointFunc(string &in asName, int alCount)
{
    if(asName == "check01") {
        // do stuff
    }

    if(asName == "check02") {
        // do different stuff
    }
}

Yeah - all callback parameters are passed in by the game when the appropriate event happens, so that you can make use of them, if you want - it's engine's way of providing you with additional information for the event. In the checkpoint callback function above asName identifies the checkpoint, while alCount tels you how many times the callback was called for that checkpoint (note that the count starts from 0).

Yes it is, one of the moderators will probably move it.
