Problem with Crowbar script!

[Kyle]

I was trying to use a crowbar to open a door, and it didn't work. It said that it cannot be used when I used the crowbar on the door. The entities involved are: "cellar_wood01_slow_2" , "crowbar_1". The scriptareas that are involved are: "BreakDoor" , "AreaUseCrowbar" , "AreaBreakEffect". In the scriptarea "AreaUseCrowbar", ItemInteraction is checked.

void OnStart()
{
PreloadSound("general_chain_rattle_single.snt");
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player" , "ScriptArea_2" , "PlaySound01" , false , 1);

Added script in section above.

Oh come on!! XD

It'd be much easier to read if you didn't show your entire .hps file.

Whenever someone posts something like this I laugh and wonder how are people supposed to "read" that and solve it...
Maybe I'm just stupid and don't know a thing of it, but it sure looks like a seven headed monster to me xP

[Kyle]

Sorry bout' my script of doom...

Here is the main part I am focusing on.



void UseCrowbarOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
AddTimer(asEntity, 0.2, "TimerSwitchShovel");
PlaySoundAtEntity("pickupcrow","player_crouch.snt", "Player", 0.05, false);

//Remove callback incase player never touched door
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("cellar_wood01_slow_2", "", true);
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("AreaUseCrowbar", "", true);

RemoveItem(asItem);
}
void TimerSwitchShovel(string &in asTimer)
{
PlaySoundAtEntity("attachshovel","puzzle_place_jar.snt", asTimer, 0, false);

SetEntityActive("crowbar_joint_1", true);
}
void CollideAreaBreakDoor(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
GiveSanityBoostSmall();

PlayMusic("10_puzzle01.ogg", false, 0.7, 0.1, 10, false);

SetSwingDoorLocked("cellar_wood01_slow_2", false, false);
SetSwingDoorDisableAutoClose("cellar_wood01_slow_2", true);
SetSwingDoorClosed("cellar_wood01_slow_2", false,false);

PlaySoundAtEntity("break","break_wood_metal", "AreaBreakEffect", 0, false);
CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("breakps", "ps_hit_wood", "AreaBreakEffect", false);
AddPropImpulse("cellar_wood01_slow_2", -3, 0, 0, "world");

SetEntityActive("crowbar_joint_1", false);
SetEntityActive("crowbar_dyn_1", true);

AddTimer("pushdoor", 0.1, "TimerPushDoor");
AddTimer("voice2", 1, "TimerDanielVoices");

AddDebugMessage("Break door!", false);
}
void TimerPushDoor(string &in asTimer)
{
AddPropImpulse("cellar_wood01_slow_2", -1, 2, -4, "world");
AddTimer("doorclose", 1.1, "TimerDoorCanClose");
}

void TimerDoorCanClose(string &in asTimer)
{
SetSwingDoorDisableAutoClose("cellar_wood01_slow_2", false);
}
void OnEnter()
{
}
void OnLeave()
{
}

It runs, but it doesn't work... :\

I really need help with it. They should make a tutorial on combining objects and also interacting with those objects with other objects.

[jens]

Add debug messages to your code to see if functions are really triggered and what is going on.

for example in UseCrowbarOnDoor

Add AddDebugMessage("Used Item: "+asItem+" On Entity: "+asEntity, false);
If you see no message, then the function is never called, if you see a message you can see what it calls the item and entity. This was just an example, but do these types of checks and you'll save time and can troubleshoot.

[Kyle]

Okay, thanks! I'll try it!

[Kyle]

OMFG! I got it to work!

The thing I was missing was the callbacks... :\
