Spoiler below!

It seems like you want to run a crowbar thing, right? Well it's not going to work. The crowbar can't find any area for it to collide so that it wouldn't open.

**pewds..fan** · 05-29-2013, 04:03 PM

im not trying to make the crowbar thing its working perfectly... im working with the lights shut down thing up at the script page

You've made the same mistake in this script that you did in the previous one you posted.

Code: (Select All)

void LIGHTSOFF(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)



    SetEntityActive("torch_floor_1");

    SetEntityActive("torch_floor_2");

    SetEntityActive("torch_floor_3");

    SetEntityActive("torch_floor_4");

etc...

Here, there is no { and } surrounding the code in that function. I provided you the solution in your other thread, it's very important that you try to understand why that fix worked

However there is another problem, SetEntityActive requires 2 parameters
SetEntityActive(string& asName, bool abActive);
The name of the entity, which you put in, but also true or false, to say whether the entity
should be activated or deactivated

Code: (Select All)

void LIGHTSOFF(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)

{

    SetEntityActive("torch_floor_1", false);

    SetEntityActive("torch_floor_2", false);

    SetEntityActive("torch_floor_3", false);

    etc...

}

That will make the torches deactivate, hence the 'false'. If you want them to be activated, then use true instead.

EDIT: woops looks like JAP already fixed that and provided a better solution, sorry about that. I'll leave the post as it explains some other extra stuff anyway

i noticed the brackets few min after i posted this..

and im trying to deactivate the lights cause the spot is a "terrifying corridor" and after deactivating the lights and walking a bit forward a brute will spawn behind the player and he must run to the next door and hide......
