[SCRIPT] Wake up script

For example, your code

PHP Code: (Select All)

void OnEnter()

{

AddUseItemCallback("", "crowbar_1", "crowbar_door", "UsedCrowbarOnDoor", true);

AddEntityCollideCallback("crowbar_joint_1", "ScriptArea_1", "CollideAreaBreakDoor", true, 1);

} 


calls everything between the {} charecters (in this case AddUseItemCallback and AddEntityCollideCallback) whenever the function (OnEnter) is called. The compiler (in this case the game that loads the map file) needs these bracket characters so that it knows what the contents of functions (or some statements such as if then statements or switch statement) are.

Yea ofc, I just mistook them for eachother xD

But you can't have a closing bracket without an opening bracket either. If you just have a closing bracket by itself it won't know what to do with it.

Can't I just do
{
}
I mean, it does at the start and end so..
Nope... can't do that...

It's always good practice to close off your brackets, quotes, and parenthesis before doing more coding.

Basically, once you type "{", immediately press enter twice and close it with a "}".

Still nope, Unexected token blablabla.....

You can absolutely do that. If your script still doesn't work, it should give you a line and a char number in the error message. Use that to debug your script.

Okay, if I could do that, it wouldn't say
void wakeUp () {
FadeOut(0); // Instantly fades the screen out. (Good for starting the game)
FadeIn(20); // Amount of seconds the fade in takes
FadeImageTrailTo(2, 2);
FadeSepiaColorTo(100, 4);
SetPlayerActive(false);
FadePlayerRollTo(0, 2, 500); // "Tilts" the players head
FadeRadialBlurTo(0.15, 2);
SetPlayerCrouching(true);
AddTimer("trig1", 15.0f, "beginStory"); // Change '11.0f' to however long you want the 'unconciousness' to last
}

void beginStory(string &in asTimer){
ChangePlayerStateToNormal();
SetPlayerActive(true);
FadePlayerRollTo(65, 20, 20); // Change all settings to defaults
FadeRadialBlurTo(0.0, 1);
FadeSepiaColorTo(0, 4);
SetPlayerCrouching(false);
FadeImageTrailTo(0,1);
}

//Run at the start of the game.
void OnGameStart()
{
}

//Callbacks
{ <-- That 1 was unexpected...
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Spawnmusic", "PlayMusic", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Stopmusic", "StopMusic", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Missingstaff", "Message1", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Guarddogthoughts", "Message2", true, 1);
AddUseItemCallback("", "Masterbedroomkey", "masterbedroomdoor", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "PlayerCollide", "MonsterFunction", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "PlayerCollide2", "MonsterFunction2", true, 1);
}

That's because you just have your brackets in the middle of the global scope of the file - that is, you aren't declaring a function or anything else before them. you just have a comment "//callbacks" and then a block of code, which doesn't make any sense to the game when it tries to compile the script.

The error "unexpected token" means that the compiler encountered something that it didn't expect - in this case a bracket. Yes you do have it closed off correctly, but you forgot to name a function or some other keyword for it, and so all the compiler sees is a bracket floating in the middle of the global scope of the script file (anywhere that isn't inside of function or a data structure). To the compiler, it's just a set of code floating off in space, and it doesn't know what to do with it.

Magically working code, with pixie dust and sugar flakes on top:

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{

//Callbacks

AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Spawnmusic", "PlayMusic", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Stopmusic", "StopMusic", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Missingstaff", "Message1", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Guarddogthoughts", "Message2", true, 1);
AddUseItemCallback("", "Masterbedroomkey", "masterbedroomdoor", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "PlayerCollide", "MonsterFunction", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "PlayerCollide2", "MonsterFunction2", true, 1);
}
