I don't understand why I'm getting this.. heres the script..

void OnStart()
{
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("lantern_1", "ActivateMonster", true);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "script_slam", "func_slam", true, 1);
SetEntityCallbackFunc("key1", "OnPickup");
AddUseItemCallback("", "key1", "dining_door", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);
AddUseItemCallback("", "key2", "secret_door", "UseKeyOnDoor", true);
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("key2", "ActivateGrunt", true);
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("tome", "ActivateRun", true);
}


void OnEnter()
{

}

void OnLeave()
{
}

}

RemoveItem("key2");
}


void ActivateRun(string &in Item)
{
SetEntityActive("servant_grunt_2" true);
ShowEnemyPlayerPosition("servant_grunt_2", true);
}


Here is the Error: No Matching Signatures to 'showenemyplayerposition(string@&, const bool)'
What am I doing wrong?

It appears ShowEnemyPlayerPosition only accepts strings as parameters. I found this in the HPL reference after like 30 secs of searching:

Code: (Select All)

void ShowEnemyPlayerPosition(string& asName);


Makes the enemy run to the player, no matter where he is.

Also, it seems like you're missing a bracket in the function ActivateGrunt. It's left open.

That's the thing. I've found that bit of script.. That's what gave me the idea.. But my brain is just refusing to understand it lol. I'm not sure why it's not accepting it. I fixed the missing bracket though.

I don't think you understand. The function cannot accept it. The function declaration makes no mention of a Boolean variable, and therefore it is impossible to pass a Boolean variable into it as a parameter. It changes literally nothing, because "true" doesn't mean anything in this context. Does the function not do what you want if you just pass in a string?

EDIT: As in:

Code: (Select All)

ShowEnemyPlayerPosition("servant_grunt_2");

This should make servant_grunt_2 run towards the player.

That's the thing. I didn't understand. I just started scripting a few days ago with no previous experience or understanding of it, but thank you for pointing out what I did wrong. With almost everything I'm using requiring the True value at the end, it sort of became a habit rather than actual known knowledge. I will give this a shot.

EDIT: That did the trick. Thank you.

No problem, I'm glad you sorted out your problem.
