Script causing game to randomly crash (No FATAL ERROR)

**Roenlond** · 05-12-2011, 03:59 PM

void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("servant_grunt_1", "monstergone_area", "MonsterGone", true, 1);
}

void MonsterGone(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
FadeEnemyToSmoke("servant_grunt_1", "songfile");
}

When "servant_grunt_1" collides with "monstergone_area", run the gone function Smile

That should work, unless I messed something up.

Thanks! Will try when I get the chance.

What songfile should I use though? Can I just leave it blank if I don't want it to make a sound?

Bumpity Bump Bump!

Oh sorry, don't know what I was thinking.

FadeEnemyToSmoke("servant_grunt_1", true/false);

true to make a "boom" and false for no sound. It's not a string, it's a boolean value.

Ah Alright. Thanks. Once I can complete that little part of my map, place the area's and path nodes and stuff, I will test this.

I do not have any example here, but I will try to write from my memory.

in extra_english.lang:

<CATEGORY Name ="Ending">
<Entry Name ="StartCredits">
Title of Story[br]
Made By:[br]
blablabla[br]
</Entry>
</CATEGORY>

and to call it, use this in your functions, preferably void OnLeave()

void OnLeave()
{
StartCredits("musicfiletoplay", true, "Ending", "StartCredits", 0);
}

That should do the trick, tell me if you have any troubles

Also with this, can I make it so it's when I collide with a entity/door/area? would it be like this?

Spoiler below!

I think I'm getting better at this Smile

EDIT: also, getting a crash with a different map.

FATAL ERROR: Could not load script file Cells4.hps!
main(2,1) : ERR : Expected "," or ";"
main(18,1) : ERR : Unexpected token "{"
main(29,1) : ERR : Unexpected token "{"

I checked my hps, and those lines are correct (As far as I know.)

my hps

First:
The syntax in parentheses is wrong. Since the command is "AddEntityCollideCallback", the script functions page http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/amn..._functions says that you should use:
void MyFunc(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)

the code should work besides that, as long as the callback is inside a function (void OnStart in most cases). Syntax errors are one of the nastiest; they don't give any errors but the function won't work anyhow.

Code: (Select All)

{

AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "credits_area", "Credits", true, "");

}



void Credits(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState) 



{

StartCredits("ending_daniel.ogg", true, "Ending", "Credits", -1);

}

Second map:

Forgot a quote around the monster name in two areas.

Ah I was so close in the credits function! xD Alright I'll try this.

**RawkBandMan** · 05-18-2011, 02:42 AM

Nope. Got a different script and all its giving me is the same error, except with this.

main (8,1) : ERR : Unexpected '{'

HPS

Spoiler below!

Thats like 56 lines of script. My other one had 68. Im confused.

**Roenlond** · 05-18-2011, 01:17 PM

void OnStart(), not void onStart()
