help script

[MrJackrabbit]

so heyllo,
so im messing around with script function stuff and im trying to find a way to add something to this script.

this is what i have so far:

void OnStart()
{
SetEntityCallbackFunc("key_1", "OnPickup");
}

void OnPickup(string &in asEntity, string &in type)
{
SetEntityActive("servant_brute_1", true);
ShowEnemyPlayerPosition("servant_brute_1");
}



this spawns an enemy hallucination once you pick up the key and everything works so far. i took out all the other parts of the scrip because this is the only important thing but ive tried it and it works fine.

i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to have the player look at the brute when he picks up the key.
thank yall!

void OnStart()
 {
 SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("key_1", "OnPickup", false);
 }

 void OnPickup(string &in asEntity, string &in type)
 {
 SetEntityActive("servant_brute_1", true);//Setting the enemy ACTIVE.
 ShowEnemyPlayerPosition("servant_brute_1");// this will make the enemy attack you where ever you are.
 StartPlayerLookAt("servant_brute_1", 10.0f, 10.5f, "");//The 10 is the speed to look at something, 1 is very slow, so this is very fast.

how do i stop looking at it? it worked but after it dissapears the player continues to look where it used to be. where do i put in "StopPLayerLookAt()"? i put that in the void OnPickup but that event and the startPlayerLookAt event occurs at the same time so they cancel each other out.

void OnStart()
{
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("key_1", "OnPickup", false);
}

void OnPickup(string &in asEntity, string &in type)
{
AddTimer("", 5.0f, "STOPLOOK"); // Put this timer as long as you want
SetEntityActive("servant_brute_1", true);//Setting the enemy ACTIVE.
ShowEnemyPlayerPosition("servant_brute_1");// this will make the enemy attack you where ever you are.
StartPlayerLookAt("servant_brute_1", 10.0f, 10.5f, "");//The 10 is the speed to look at something, 1 is very slow, so this is very fast.

}

void STOPLOOK(string &in asTimer)
{
StopPlayerLookAt();
}
