Noob needs help

Hello, I need to know how to activate an monster when a player collides to on area. Or even better when a player picks something up

[Kyle]

Collide with area:

Code: (Select All)

OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "Function01", true, 1);
}
void Function01(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("Monster", true);
}

Pick up item:

Code: (Select All)

OnStart()
{
SetPlayerInteractCallback("Item", "Function01", true);
}
void Function01(string &in asEntity)
{
SetEntityActive("Monster", true);
}

I do have a question though. I tried using the code you're telling him to use, but it isn't working with me.

I do have a question though. I tried using the code you're telling him to use, but it isn't working with me.

Did you plug it all in?

If you used the first script, does the script area match the one you are using for you custom story? Did you replace "Monster" with the name of the monster in you custom story? If yes to both, is the monster in your custom story set to unactive?

If you used the second script, does "Item" have the same name as the name of the item you are using in your custom story? Did you replace "Monster" with the name of the monster in you custom story? If yes to both, is the monster in your custom story set to unactive?

yes I did... you see this is my code, if you see anything wrong with it please tell me:

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
    AddUseItemCallback("", "RoomKey", "RoomDoor", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);
    SetPlayerInteractCallback("RoomKey", "Activatebob", true);
}

void UsedKeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
    SetSwingDoorLocked("RoomDoor", false, true);
    PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "RoomDoor", 0, false);
    RemoveItem("RoomKey");
}

void Activatebob(string &in asEntity)
{
setEntityActive("Bob", true);
}

and yes, I'm sure I named my servant Bob. Also, to help, I'll give you the error it's giving me.

Yep, i have same problem:


void OnStart()
{
SetPlayerLampOil(0);
//if(ScriptDebugOn())
//{
// GiveItemFromFile("lantern", "lantern.ent");
// for(int i=0;i<10;i++) GiveItemFromFile("tinderbox_"+i, "tinderbox.ent");
// SetPlayerLampOil(0);
//}
SetMessage("Journal", "start", 8.0f);;
SetEntityConnectionStateChangeCallback("lever_nice01_1", "StateChangeLever");
SetPlayerInteractCallback("Item", "Officekey", true);
AddUseItemCallback("", "crowbar_1", "prison_section_1", "UsedCrowbarOnDoor", true);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Brute_1", "Brute1", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("crowbar_joint_1", "ScriptArea_1", "CollideAreaBreakDoor", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "shake_1", "Earthquake", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "AreaKillLights", "KillLights", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "AreaKillLights2", "KillLights2", true, 1);
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("lantern_1", "Stuff", true);
}

void Officekey(string &in asEntity)
{
SetEntityActive("Brute2", true);
}

Says multiple errors!!

It might take a while, and I kind of messed up there. I can fix that. Here, try this:

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
SetPlayerLampOil(0);
if (ScriptDebugOn())
{
GiveItemFromFile("lantern", "lantern.ent");
for(int i=0;i<10;i++) GiveItemFromFile("tinderbox_"+i, "tinderbox.ent");
SetPlayerLampOil(100);
}
SetMessage("Journal", "start", 8.0f);
SetEntityConnectionStateChangeCallback("lever_nice01_1", "StateChangeLever");
SetPlayerInteractCallback("Item", "Officekey", true);
AddUseItemCallback("", "crowbar_1", "prison_section_1", "UserCrowbarOnDoor", true);
SetPlayerInteractCallback("Item", "Officekey", true);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Brute_1", "Brute1", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("crowbar_joint_1", "ScriptArea_1", "CollideAreaBreakDoor", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "shake_1", "Earthquake", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "AreaKillLights", "KillLights", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "AreaKillLights2", "KillLights2", true, 1);
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("lantern_1", "stuff", true);
}
void Officekey(string &in asEntity)
{
SetEntityActive("Brute2", true);
}

Sorry, the thing was that I didn't mean to press the post button and so it posted that little amount.
