[SCRIPT] Help with global var ints.

[Radical Batz]

Hey guys this is my first time using globalvarints and I am just confused of how to sue them or when, So in this particular map, you pickup a jar of acid and in that function I made this

PHP Code: (Select All)

void CleanContainer(string &in asEntityName, string &in asType)
{
    AddPlayerSanity(2);
    PlayMusic("02_puzzle.ogg", false, 0.7f, 0.5f, 9, false);
    SetEntityActive("AreaSpawn", true); 
    SetGlobalVarInt("GotJarofAcid", 1);    
} 


Now when that happened a script box is supposed to be active now in another map since I made this in that code for the other map

PHP Code: (Select All)

void CheapScare(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
    //If you got the jar of acid
 if(GetGlobalVarInt("GotJarofAcid")==1)
 {
     SetEntityActive("AreaCheapScare", true);
 }
 SetGlobalVarInt("GotJarofAcid", 1);
}

//A function when looking at the Suitor
void SanityDamage(string &in asEntity, string &in asType)
{
SetEntityActive("enemy_suitor_1", true);
 FadeEnemyToSmoke("enemy_suitor_1", true);
} 


But it still doesn't work do you guys know what's the problem here or am i just stupid cause this is my first time using globalvarints and I might not do a good job at it! so eyah, am I supposed to put something onstart?

IDK tell em down in the comments, thnx.

GlobalVarInt can only be used in a seperate hps called global.hps.

EDIT:
Here's my tutorial on GlobalVar.

[Romulator]

^Would recommend adding that to the wiki one day

[daortir]

Dude there is no need for a global.hps to use global variables ^^. Your tutoral is good otherwise but there is absolutely no need to decare global variables in a global.hps file. You can perfectly create them in a classic .hps file, and reuse them from any other file.

^^

Code: (Select All)

Global variables can be used throughout several maps and can be accessed by several script files.

void SetGlobalVarInt(string& asName, int alVal);
void AddGlobalVarInt(string& asName, int alVal);
int GetGlobalVarInt(string& asName);

void SetGlobalVarFloat(string& asName, float afVal);
void AddGlobalVarFloat(string& asName, float afVal);
float GetGlobalVarFloat(string& asName);

void SetGlobalVarString(string& asName, const string& asVal);
void AddGlobalVarString(string& asName, string& asVal);
string& GetGlobalVarString(string& asName);

edit: oh sorry wio incorrect thread

When a white man gets all racist they get discrimination, but IF a black man gets all racist they get compliments!

Sorry, what? Is that some sort of example?
I mean, I agree, but I don't see how it has any relevance here.

[Radical Batz]

um guys thanks for the replies and everything but I seem not to get it working!

Try putting the check in OnEnter.

PHP Code: (Select All)

void OnEnter()
{
    if(GetGlobalVarInt("GotJarofAcid")==1)
    {
        SetEntityActive("AreaCheapScare", true);
        SetGlobalVarInt("GotJarofAcid", 0);
    }
}
