A script problem. [SOLVED]

[Seragath]

Hey. I have a problem with this script. Since I'm really new to C++ as a whole, I cannot actually see what I am doing wrong. But here is the script. An explanation of what I am doing wrong and why, would be appreciated.

Seragath.

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Faint","Faint_scare", true, 1);
}

////Room_With_Key_Scare//////////
/////////////////////////////////

void Faint_scare(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
GiveSanityDamage(1000, true);
AddTimer("Doom", 2, "TeleportPlayer");
FadeOut(0)
}

void TeleportPlayer(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, string &in asTimer, int alState)
{
TeleportPlayer("PlayerStartArea_2");
FadeIn(20);
AddTimer("Doom_end", 2, "Teleportback");
}

void Teleportback(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, string &in asTimer, int alState)
{
TeleportPlayer("PlayerStartArea_3");
}
////Room_With_Key_Scare_Ends///////
///////////////////////////////////

It does trigger the first FadeOut(0) etc. But not the rest of it. (And this "string &in asSomething") is still quite confusing for me.

change
(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, string &in asTimer, int alState)

to
(string &in asTimer)

for your two timer functions and it should work.

Yeah but then the string to

TeleportPlayer won't work. >.>

The error:

Main(149,1): ERR: A function with the same name and parameters already exist
main(147,1):ERR: Expected';'
main(151,1):ERR :Multiple matching signatures to 'TeleportPlayer(String@&)'
main 158,1):ERR : (Same as the one above)

Sadly I do not know what this means....At all. >.> (Of course the game crashes with this error.)

Go to line 149 in your script file, and check if you're using the proper function.

Found the mistake. What I did wrong was that I did

Code: (Select All)

void TeleportPlayer

I had to change the name. I guess it got confused when I did it like that.

And that FadeOut(0) was missing a ";" in the end. (>.<)

Code: (Select All)

FadeOut(0);

Since I have this thread open still, I have another question. When I add a code with a timer,

Code: (Select All)

AddTimer("Something", 5f, "Somethingelse"

What does the 5f mean ? I see some use 5f while others just use 5.

And thanks for the help!

EDIT:

So basically what the code says now is that.

When Faint_Scare triggers there will go 2 seconds before it calls TelePortPlayer and another 2 seconds till it calls TelePortback ?

f means float, meaning a 1.0 number unlike an integer which would only be 1. You don't have to use f to specify a float, but I personally do it because I think the script is easier to read.

yes, what you say should happen is what the script should do.

Okey, thanks for the help.

Huff, it's already getting confusing when I have to look through 200 or something lines...I will be insane by the time I'm done. >.<

I can really suggest you to read and use that then.

Thanks I'll read it once I get the time.
