Quick question since you're offering. When you create some random event that lower's the player's sanity.
Say for mine I want the player to walk into a room and once he's at the centre he hears a loud roar and get's shaken up.
Now my question is, when his sanity is lowered ((because of the void StartRandomInsanityEvent(); ))
does the player give off scared reaction? Like does he naturally gasp or do I have to add the sound file into that script as well?

Tell me if it sounds confusing, think I may have confused myself

i know this isnt my thread to answer on, but i might as well =P

Ok, first of all i would use a different function called GiveSanityDamage =) look it up on the wiki to find where to put the inputs, this function allows you to choose (out of 100) how much sanity damage the player suffers,

Then in the same void function, place a PlaySoundAtEntiy function =)

Then set the sound that plays as "react_scare1" if i remember correctly =)

So this is what your script will look like;
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "MiddleOfRoom", "LoudRoarEvent")
}
void LoudRoarEvent( Parent, Child, State)
{
GiveSanityDamage( 10,)
PlaySoundAtEntity("react_scare1", "Player")
}



NOTE; this script wont work in game as i haven't put any variables in (apart from the sanity damage, i set as ten cos thats my favourite), you will need to find the functions i used on the wiki and place them where i have put mine and put in your chosen variables =)

Hope this helps =)

Edd,

Thanks, I'll give it a try when I get down to scripting it all!
There should be a sticky-ed general help thread like this I think. For like minor scripting or building questions, so that the other threads can be created for any major problems people are having haha.

How do I get a monster to spawn when I start to open a door/pick up a object? I know the script thing is void FunctionNameHere(string &in asEntity) But I don't know what the function is (I know the entity tho.)

[Kyle]

Simpanra, I don't know why you are even trying to help him, you just screwed it all up, no offence. :p

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
PreloadSound("react_scare");
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "LoadRoarEvent", true, 1);
}
void LoadRoarEvent(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
GiveSanityDamage(10, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "react_scare", "Player", 0, false);
}

The preloading of the sound will reduce the moment of lag between loading the sound and playing when it is used.

Here you go, this will be for when the player opens a door.

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("door_1", "Function01, true);
}
Function01(string &in asEntity)
{
SetEntityActive("Monster", true);
}

This link will explain how to direct the monster with path nodes.

So "Function01" activates/calls the monster? If so, thanks!

[Kyle]

Inside of the function "Function01", it set the entity, the monster, "Monster" to true, thus spawning it.

So when the player activates the function, by the SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback, it calls the function, doing what ever is inside of it.
