HPS and extra_english.lang not working

[SetsuPotato]

So today I was making a custom map because I was bored and when I tried to run it, it crashed. I tried removing the extra_english.lang and it will run, but my .hps file seems to be doing nothing whatsoever. None of my keys are working or anything.
I probably messed up somewhere while I was writing one of them, which is likely because I'm new to the HPL editor and coding.

My HPS file:

void OnStart()
{
AddUseItemCallback("", "key_din", "door_din", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("key_din", "MonstAct1", true);
}

void UsedKeyOnDoor()
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("door_din", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "door_din", 0, false);
RemoveItem("key_din");
}

void OnEnter()
{

}

void OnLeave()
{

}

void MonstAct1(string &in item)
{
SetEntityActive("monster1", true);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("monster1", "PathNodeArea1", 0, "Idle");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("monster1", "PathNodeArea2", 0, "Idle");
}

My extra_english.lang:

void UsedKeyOnDoor()

The () cannot be empty in this scenario. It needs a few extra things:

void UsedKeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)

asItem = the main item used on the object (in this case the key)
asEntity = the main object the item is being used on (in this case the door)

Make sure to post in the support forum in the future, thread moved!

I tried that and the key still doesn't open the door. Do you also have any idea why when I pick up my key it's supposed to trigger an enemy but it doesn't?

It's because you didn't write the parameters correctly.

You wrote: (string &in item)
But it's an interaction callback so it's supposed to be: (string &in asEntity)

Here is how the script should look.

PHP Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
AddUseItemCallback("", "key_din", "door_din", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("key_din", "MonstAct1", true);
}

void UsedKeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string in asEntity) 
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("door_din", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "door_din", 0, false);
RemoveItem("key_din");
}

void OnEnter()
{

}

void OnLeave()
{

}

void MonstAct1(string &in asEntity)
{
SetEntityActive("monster1", true);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("monster1", "PathNodeArea1", 0, "Idle");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("monster1", "PathNodeArea2", 0, "Idle");
}

Still isn't working.

Still isn't working.

Look, you're not giving enough information.
You're just saying it doesn't work.

I cannot help you, if you don't tell me anything.


Please tell me what happens when you run the map.
Any errors? Does nothing happen at all?

If nothing happens at all, do check again that map name and script .hps name corresponds.

EDIT: By the way, you wrote "key_din" in your script, but "keydin" in your .lang file. Which is it?

When I pick up the key, it does not trigger the enemy as it is supposed to. When I attempt to use the key on the door, it says I can't use it on the door.

Also, "key_din" is the actual name of the key and my .lang file crashes my game so "keydin" shouldn't matter.

Bro are you sure that the monster and areas are same in level editor as your ones in script also if you use lang and hps files make sure it is same name example:

Level01.map
Level01.hps

About lang file you shall add name key_din to a entity, also check if you are working on correct map (happened to me once).

[Neelke]

Have you even applied the callback function to the key? There are two ways of fixing this, either adding it into the key from the Level Editor or add it in through scripting.

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
SetEntityCallbackFunc("key_din", "MonstAct1");
}

I think you'll also need to modify this too.

Code: (Select All)

void MonstAct1(string &in asEntity, string &in asType)

//asType = basically explaining what the player is doing during this function. The main calls for this is //usually Pickup, Break or Ignite. In this case its Pickup.
