Script Help Need help debugging various script functions

**Silent Darkness** · 09-14-2013, 03:18 PM

I'm nearly done with the first room of a map, and here is what I want to happen when you enter:

-Screen starts out black
-player breathing noises happen, then whispers and you get woken up by the sound of someone screaming
-blur effect for a short time with creepy music playing

Well, what happens here is that none of the sounds play. Not sure why.

Also, I have the Ephiphrene(I think it was called)addon from ModDB, but there's a big problem. You have to use up all the Ephiphrene in your inventory for it to work, which isn't helpful when the stuff stacks numerically. I did a botch job and failed to make it work per item.

**PutraenusAlivius** · 09-14-2013, 03:37 PM

PlaySoundAtEntity is the correct parameter. FadeInSound didn't do shit in my case.

**Silent Darkness** · 09-14-2013, 04:33 PM

Updated the code to use PlaySoundAtEntity. It still doesn't work, i'm afraid.

**Javist** · 09-14-2013, 07:46 PM

Just read carefully function description, and you'll understand the problem.
HPL2 Wiki

**Silent Darkness** · 09-14-2013, 08:47 PM

.....I don't. I don't see what i'm doing wrong, tbph. I'll keep looking it over/smashing my head into the wall, but i'd feel better if someone spelled it out in simple english for me.

Script Updated. Check the first post again.

**Tomato Cat** · 09-14-2013, 09:08 PM

You have to make sure you provide the proper arguments in each of the function you're calling. The link that Javist provided is a complete list of available engine functions and what they need as arguments.

So, you'd look up a function. Say, PlaySoundAtEntity, and ensure that you pass the proper arguments.

If it still doesn't work, then the error lies within the script. ie, a timer isn't being called which would disrupt the sequence.

**Silent Darkness** · 09-14-2013, 09:14 PM

I just borrowed a hunk of appropriate code for one section from one of the Dark Descent maps, and inserted it. Should've worked, but it absolutely DID NOT. Didn't play, period. All the proper arguments are passed, i'm sure of it at this point. Must be the script that's the error. I'm going to toy around with debug messages for a few minutes, see if I can't force the problem to reveal itself.

Unless i've been using the wrong internal name. Is it possible to get a list of Amnesia's internal sound names? And the sequence shouldn't be interrupted by a lack of timer. All the functions have the &in as Timer parameter, and i'm SURE that the syntax is correct.

**Tomato Cat** · 09-14-2013, 09:17 PM

I would be weary of using code from existing maps. Unless you refactor it perfectly, there's bound to be issues.

How do you mean internal sounds?

You can find all of the sounds through the level editor.

**Silent Darkness** · 09-14-2013, 09:28 PM

Uh, there's INTERNAL names for all the sounds amnesia uses. Like react_sigh6 may be the actual sound file name, but in the Dark Descent scripts, it's just "sigh".

And scratch another possibility, the script flows just fine.

proper parameters and script flow is perfect.....still at square 1. *sigh*

Really? I hadn't noticed.

Have you solved your issue?
