[SCRIPT] (Solved) GetPropIsInteractedWith not working?

[FlawlessHappiness]

That's great! No problem
It's weird that it doesn't work straight forwardly though..

Just wondering; this looks like a collide callback. What's calling it? You left your OnStart out of the script.

PHP Code: (Select All)

void Impact2(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState) 


Perhaps the reason it didn't work before was that it wasn't calling at the right time, whereas a repeating timer will obviously repeatedly call it under multiple conditions.

Well basically how this works in the first place is setup with two areas.

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
    //Collide callback
    AddEntityCollideCallback("stone", "AreaRockOnShovel_1", "Impact1", false, 1);
    AddEntityCollideCallback("stone", "AreaRockOnShovel", "Impact2", false, 1);
}

The script area AreaRockOnShovel_1 is just calculating the time of how long it takes for the rock to hit the next area. Meanwhile the AreaRockOnShovel calls the whole event. I doubt that the script would be able to somehow not call it at the right time, especially now with this integer variable I'm using instead. Maybe I managed to make the game think I dropped it sometime when holding it somehow.

The script areas are also setup like this, thought it would be useful to know (apologies for a white background).

PHP Code: (Select All)

bool a = (Speed >= 0.25f);
bool b = (GetPropIsInteractedWith(asParent)); 


what happened with this? Both this values are being initialized?
Insert there a debug message (if you want to keep testing). Something like this:
If (a) msg("a is true") else msg("a is false");
if (b) msg("b is true") else msg("b is false");

Both the values are being initialized, but with the GetPropIsInteractedWith in a seperate timer, using an integer to control it instead (if I understand what you mean).

I did get it to work the way I wanted it to exactly. I just had to make a rather strange method to fix it.

Code: (Select All)

// Helper to update if stone is held
int iInteractStoneIndex = 0;
void TimerUpdateInteraction(string &in asTimer)
{
    if(!GetPropIsInteractedWith("stone")) iInteractStoneIndex = 0;
    else iInteractStoneIndex = 1;
    
    AddTimer("loop", 0.0166f, "TimerUpdateInteraction");
}

void Impact2(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
    float Time = (1.05f - GetTimerTimeLeft("ImpactTime"));
    float Speed = (Distance / Time); // Gets the speed
    
    if(Speed >= 0.2f && iInteractStoneIndex == 0)
    {
