RE: Is it possible to bind StickyArea to Entities?

1) To have an object you can pick up in-game and place it on a sticky area.
2) Or, an object that has a sticky area attached to it.

What kind of puzzle you're trying to make Flisk?

Object that has a sticky area attached to it, which grab in hand. I mean the hose plug into a flamethrower.

I understand very little English, so I write through an interpreter.

Hm! Instead of trying this specific thing, try telling exactly what it is you want to do.

Something with a flamethrower. I don't know what "the hose plug into a flamethrower" means. Try showing a picture of it, or use more words to describe it.

Trying is the first step to success.

I hope the picture will be understood:

RE: Is it possible to bind StickyArea to Entities?

That was beautifully explained!
Ok, so I suggest you have the following entities:

Gas Bottle (static)
Hose (moveable)
Flamethrower (movable)
Flamethrower connected (moveable)

So I'm trying to avoid using sticky areas now.
You can script it so when the Hose and the Flamethrower collide, they will be set inactive, and the Connected Flamethrower will be set active instead.

I tried to, that would be understandableSmile.
To do this, need create a separate model flamethrower with a hose. Do I understand correctly?

Yea. I'm not sure how the physics of the hose will work though.

RE: Is it possible to bind StickyArea to Entities?

You could try doing something similar to how the power cable somewhere in Penumbra Overture works. I have not played through all of the Penumbras, so idk if it occurs more than that time, but it does there, about 2-3 hours in I would guess. However, the cable itself WAS rather glitchy, but not as much as some other entities I've seen that try to do something similar. Making a cable seems to be extremely unstable in HPL.

Here's a video of the Penumbra one. Personally I never had as much trouble with it as this here, but well, I did have some oddities with it. This is probably why you don't find these entities anywhere in Amnesia.

Apparently, the problem was in earlier versions of the penumbra. Such problems I did not have then and now in HPL2. On the video cable connects the two static object. And I want to try to connect between the static and movable entity. As the picture above.
