Hey,

I´ve a quick question. How is it possible to make a script having effect in another lvl. For example if the player pulls a lever in the first level and in another level a pointlight, or sound is set active.

Thanks for your help.

You gotta use Global Variables for that. What you do is, when you pull the lever in the first level, it calls the function 'SetGlobalVarInt', and then in the other level, in the 'OnEnter' section of your .hps file, you'll have an if statement stating that 'if (GetGlobalVarInt("name of var") == 1)' then it runs the script changing the state of whatever you wanted it to do. Here's what it would look like as an example.

Quote:(First lever script)
OnStart()
{
SetEntityConnectionStateChangeCallback("Lever", "LeverFunc");
}
void roomlever(string &in asEntity, int alState)
{
if(alState == 1)
{
SetLeverStuckState("Lever", 1, true);
SetLeverInteractionDisablesStuck("Lever", true);
AddGlobalVarInt("LeverVar", 1);
}
}

(Second level .hps file)
OnEnter()
{
if (GetGlobalVarInt("LeverVar") == 1)
{
(Put whatever script you would want the lever to run in this area)
}
}

And there you have it!

Hey,
thank you very much for your quick and precise answer!

Hey,

there´s still a prolem. The error message says theres a expected identifier missing or s.th. like that. Would you be so kind to check my script?

okay, i´ve got it i just forgot the "void" before the "OnEnter" part

Glad to hear it worked out for you! I approve of your decision to use levers that change things in separate levels- a mechanic that is often forgotten about! Good luck!
