Need help with screen shake and look scripts~ - julianprokop - 11-14-2011

Basically I want the screen to shake when the player looks at an enemy entity.

This enemy is spawned with a trigger when the player hits a script box and when the player looks to see what the sound is, I want the screen to shake when you see the enemy. I also want the player's view to snap and look at the monster, then the shake will happen.

Here is what I have so far for the looking and shaking...I don't get any errors...it just isn't working Sad
Any help would be much appreciated!

}

void ScreenShake(float afAmount, float afTime, float afFadeInTime, float afFadeOutTime)

{
StartScreenShake (2.0f, 2.0f, 1.5f, 2.0f);
StopPlayerLookAt();
}

You don't need the extra function block "screenshake". Just add a timer so that when 4 seconds is up, the player will stop looking at him. Make sure Enemy2 is named Enemy2 in the level editor aswell. Also, you put the wrong syntax part next to the void PlayerLook. The one i put there is correct for colldecallbacks.
