Lantern script

[Hooumeri]

Hey.
I'm trying to make a script, which makes some grunts activated when the lantern is activated. When ever the lantern is not activated, the grunts are not active.

I tried a script (if HasItem....) but I couldnt get it to work. Could someone please help in creating it?

I'm calling the area which triggers this action "LightsOutArea_01" So when ever inside the area, this happens
The grunts are from servant_brute_1 to servant_brute_13.

I'm calling the area which brings everything to normal "LightsBackArea_01"

Why you write a script? You can make them very easy. open the model editor then the path:
Models/hand object/lantern and open the lantern model. there you add the sound and choose the configuration you will. save it and its ready

for more help, ask me

Code: (Select All)

OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "AreaNameHere", "GruntLightEventOn", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "AreaNameHere", "GruntLightEventOff", true, 1);
}

void GruntLightEventOn(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
AddTimer("", 0.1f, "GruntLightEvent");
}

void GruntLightEventOff(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
RemoveTimer("GruntLightEvent");
}

void GruntLightEvent(string &in asTimer)
{
if(GetLanternActive() == true) {
    for(int i=1;i<13;i++) {
         SetEntityActive("servant_brute_" + i, true);
    }
}
else {
    for(int i=1;i<13;i++) {
         SetEntityActive("servant_brute_" + i, false);
    }
}

AddTimer("", 0.1f, "GruntLightEvent");
}

Something like that.

Everlone, I don't think you get what he wants to do.
He wants monsters active when he holds his latern and inactive when not.

He doesn't want to edit any sounds.

         SetEntityActive("servant_brute_" + i, true);
    }
}
else {
    for(int i=1;i<13;i++) {
         SetEntityActive("servant_brute_" + i, false);
    }
}

AddTimer("", 0.1f, "GruntLightEvent");
}

Something like that.

You ALMOST have a problem like me. Exept, I'm trying to make a door unlock when you PICK UP the lantern. I could never get that to work.

Sorry, didn't see your thread.

Open your map in the level editor and select the lantern. select the entity tab on the right side of the screen and add a callback funtion named: PickLantern.




Open the .HPS file and add the following lines:

void PickLantern(string &in asEntity, string &in asType)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("your_door_here", false, false);
}

(If your door is a Level Door, change SetSwingDoorLocked("your_door_here", false, false); to SetLevelDoorLocked("your_door_here", false);

*EDIT*
Just noticed you had opened a thread about this. http://frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-5152.html
