Script causing game to randomly crash (No FATAL ERROR)

I'm blind.

Spoiler below!

You had quotes around the false at FadeEnemy, and quotes around a float at the path nodes. If the value is false/true or a number, you almost never need a quotation mark (unless your item is named 1 or true, of course)

Okay I can run the map now, but I need to know where I put void DisableEnemyTriggers("servant_grunt_1" true);
And they Wake Up function doesn't work. No more errors for the moment Smile

EDIT: I edited the Cells5.hps and added wakeUp(); to the OnStart() section, not sure if it fixed the Wake Up, will try in the morning.

I added a different Wake Up Function, cuz the one I had isn't what I wanted. But after I put the new one in, it gives me this error

main(157,1): ERR : Unexpected End of File

RemoveTimer("BlackOut");
that is outside any function

Also yout case/break thingie wont work... there is nothing triggering the timer after the first one

I created this simple switch timer thingie for everyone to use. If someone has questions about how it really works, ask me!

Code: (Select All)

//SIMPLE SWITCH TIMER THINGIE//

//FIRST SOMETHING TO START IT (timer in some function you want it to start from)

        AddTimer("", 0.0f, "ThisIsTheTimer");

void ThisIsTheTimer(string &in asTimer)

{    AddLocalVarInt("Stage", 1);

    float fEventSpeed = 1.0f;

    switch(GetLocalVarInt("Stage"))

        {case 1:

            //Whatever you wantto happen goes in between case and break

            break;

        case 2:

            //TYPICAL WAKE UP/BLACK OUT FUNCTONS:

            //MovePlayerHeadPos(float afX, float afY, float afZ, float afSpeed, float afSlowDownDist); If I remember right, float afY at 1.0f is the normal head position

            //FadePlayerRollTo(float afX, float afSpeedMul, float afMaxSpeed);     float afX is normal when its 0.0f

            //SetPlayerCrouchDisabled(bool abX);

            //SetPlayerJumpDisabled(bool abX);  These are so that the player cant jump or crouch underground while passing out...

            //SetPlayerRunSpeedMul(float afMul);

            //SetPlayerMoveSpeedMul(float afMul); These so that the player cant run when down on the ground...

            //FadeOut(float afTime); //self explanatory...

            break;

        }

    if(GetLocalVarInt("Stage") < 6)   AddTimer("ThisRepeatsTheTimer", fEventSpeed, "ThisIsTheTimer");

}

I'd have to ask yo how it actually works, and what I could put in each thing....

I copied it from the 25_nave_tunnels.map from Main or whatever the map is called and I thought it would basically work without much editing.

Allright I try to make this as simple as possible, for I too had serious problems figuring this out.
This is a more simplified version of the code:

Code: (Select All)

void TimerItself(string &in asTimer)

{    AddTimer("SPAM", 2.0f, "TimerItself"); // 1.

    AddLocalVarInt("Stage", 1); // 2.

    switch(GetLocalVarInt("Stage")) //3.

        {case 1:

            FadeOut(1.0f);

            break;

        case 2:                //

            FadeIn(1.0f);    //4.

            break;            //

        case 3:

            FadeOut(1.0f);

            break;

        }

}

I marked each particular part of the code in numbers so I can explain them here:

1. The timer inside the timer does exactly what you'd think it does. Every 2 seconds the "TimerItself" is called.

2. This makes sure the actions progress, meaning that when this first comes the "Stage" variable will become 1. And every time the "TimerItself" function is called, this adds +1 into the variable.

3. I don't know the specifics about this thing, but it checks how big the variable is (in this case its "Stage") and picks the case with the same number.

4. In between the case and break, you can put functions you want to use. And in this case the next case comes every 2 seconds

Here I'm going to complicate it a little bit so it can be utilized better. This is how it will look (color coding for easier explanation and I suggest you copy pasting this into notepad ++ and setting the Language to C++):

void TimerItself(string &in asTimer)
{float fEventSpeed = 2.0f;
AddLocalVarInt("Stage", 1);
switch(GetLocalVarInt("Stage"))
{case 1:
FadeOut(1.0f);
break;
case 2:
FadeIn(1.0f);
fEventSpeed = 5.0f;
break;
case 3:
FadeOut(1.0f);
break;
}
if(GetLocalVarInt("Stage") < 4) AddTimer("SPAM", fEventSpeed, "TimerItself");
}

So the function above does exactly the same as the simpler one except that the second FadeOut(1.0f); comes 3 seconds later.

if(GetLocalVarInt("Stage") < 4) AddTimer("SPAM", fEventSpeed, "TimerItself"); has to be placed in the end of the function so that the first float fEventSpeed = 2.0f; is before fEventSpeed = 5.0f; so that the second event speed effects the if(getblehblah litany.
Because the fEventSpeed = 5.0f; is in case 2:, case 4 would trigger 2 seconds after case 3 (the function ingnores all other cases than the one that fits to the "Stage" variable).

if(GetLocalVarInt("Stage") < 4) simply means that you can decide when the timer stops looping itself (when cases end, without this part the timer would stay and loop without anything happening. That could possibly slow the game down or something).
the < 4 part means that "TimerItself" is called 4 times then stop ("Stage" variable would be 4).

Checking the color coding and with a little logic this should be possible to understand. If anyone has any more questions, I could try and explain... again Smile

I have just one more question.

What would the function to make Daniel roll to look like he is laying, then to get back up? (I think its like FadePlayerRollTo(X Axis,Y axis, Z axis) or something). But what would be the Numbers for the X, Y, and Z axis?? (For the laying on the ground like sleeping, and the default.)

Well you would just have to tweak and test and tweak these:
MovePlayerHeadPos(float afX, float afY, float afZ, float afSpeed, float afSlowDownDist);
if you want your head close to the ground change float afY to -1 or something.

then there is this what youre mainly after I guess:
FadePlayerRollTo(float afX, float afSpeedMul, float afMaxSpeed);
change float afX to -45 or 45 and your view is turned 45 degrees
