Detecting when a door is closed?

[GraphicsKid]

There's a part in my level where there's a monster lurking around, and you have to lure it into a cell-block and lock it in. When the cell block is sealed, I want the monster to come running at the door and start beating on it so the player has to barricade it. How can I detect when the door has been shut?

I assume there's a callback type for this... is there a list of these things somewhere? Or is it just the 3 in the editor tooltip: OnPickup, Break, OnIgnite.

You can use the ConnectionStateChangeCallback for that, it calls the function when the state is changed. and in your function you can check what state it has changed to.

Hey thanks for the response. Could you please expand on this a little bit? I'm still very new to Amnesia modding (and scripting).

You could try

Code: (Select All)

if(bool  GetSwingDoorLocked("door") == true)
{
    stuff
}

Does that detect if the door is closed? The door is never locked, I mean the player can open it. It's an indestructible door, so the monster is trapped inside if you slide a crate in front of it. (of course it frees itself at a very inconvenient time! ) Problem is, the monster doesn't seem to realize it's trapped, so it just keeps patrolling the cells, happy with ignorance.

Use Frontcannon's script, but use "GetSwingDoorClosed" instead, it's also a valid function.

As for the monster trying to break the door.. I suppose you could make it so it adds a patrol node outside the room when the door is shut, therefore making it try to escape and attack the door? Haven't really tried anything like that before, so I guess you'll need to experiment.

Oh sorry, I have no idea why I used GetSwingDoorLocked :/

Which makes the script look like this in my mind:

Code: (Select All)

if(bool GetSwingDoorClosed("door") == true)
{
    ShowEnemyPlayerPosition("enemy");
}

This should make it try to escape the room and catch you, but I don't know for how long.

Is there a callback to trigger this? Or how can I constantly check this?

[ModManDann]

ConnectionStateChangeCallback, I'm pretty sure it calls everytime when you change the state of the door (opening, closing it)

[GraphicsKid]

Huh... that's not doing it.
