Hey, trying to make my own map for the first time and i've run into some error once i started to make it a bit more complicated.
1: I want my key (key_1) to activate a monster
2: I want that key to unlock a door (door_1)
3: I want to set a patrolnode for that monster once i activate it
(Optinal)4: if anyone could also assist me with how to changemap once i've opened the last door that would be great.
I'm deeply grateful for any assistance since i'm a noob and all!

I'm getting an error message which says:


This is my script so far:

////////////////////////
//Run when starting map
void OnStart()
{
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallBack("key_1", "ActivateMonster", true);
}
////////////////////////
//Run when entering map
void OnEnter()
{ AddUseItemCallback("","key_1","door_1","UsedKeyOnDoor". true);

}
void UsedKeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("door_1", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "door_1", 0, false);
RemoveItem("key_1");
}
void ActivateMonster(string &in item)
{
SetEntityActive("monster_1", true);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("monster_1", "PathNodeArea_1", 0, "idle");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("monster_1", "PathNodeArea_2", 0, "idle");
}
////////////////////////
//Run when leaving map
void OnLeave()
{

}

The capital 'B' is misplaced.
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback

As you see, the 'b' is non-capital.

Thanks for the reply, that fixed the first part of the error message.
I'm still getting "main (10,59): ERR : Expected identifier" thou.

Any idea what that could be?

AddUseItemCallback("","key_1","door_1","UsedKeyOnDoor". true);


There's a '.' where there should be a comma.


AddUseItemCallback("","key_1","door_1","UsedKeyOnDoor", true);

Thank you so much, that fixed it!

But my key doesn't activate the monster also it doesn't open my locked door, do you know why?

Firstly, the addition of the patrol nodes should be on OnStart/OnEnter.


And I think the player cannot interact a pickable item so 'ActivateMonster' is not called!

A valid usage would be:

Hmm i did change it to this, not sure if this is what you meant, but it's not working. Also for some reason the key or the door does not have a name.
Any idea what i managed to screw up? I'm such a noob lol

////////////////////////
//Run when starting map
void OnStart()
{
SetEntityCallbackFunc("key_1", "ActivateMonster");
}

void ActivateMonster(string &in asEntity, string &in type)
{
if(type == "OnPickup")
{
SetEntityActive("monster_1", true);
}
}
////////////////////////
//Run when entering map
void OnEnter()
{
AddUseItemCallback("","key_1","door_1","UsedKeyOnDoor", true);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("monster_1", "PathNodeArea_1", 0, "idle");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("monster_1", "PathNodeArea_2", 0, "idle");
}
void UsedKeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("door_1", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "door_1", 0, false);
RemoveItem("key_1");
}

////////////////////////

}

Are you sure all of the names are correct?
And to change the inventory name you need to set the SubItemName in the level editor to some thing, like TEST for example and then add this in your extra_english.lang:


<CATEGORY Name="Inventory">

<Entry Name="ItemName_TEST">The name of the key.</Entry>
<Entry Name="ItemDesc_TEST">The description of the key.</Entry>


</CATEGORY>

Ahh, i see. Give me a min and i'll try it.

Hmm i did change it to this, also removed the "_1" in the key, monster and door incase that was screwing it up somehow. Yet i still can't see the name of the key/door and the monster doesn't activate when i touch the key.

I am really not getting why the key doesn't activate the monster
As for the names, read "THE ITEM" part of the tutorial:
