Adding messages to a locked door? - Jagsrs28 - 06-25-2012
Well I followed the instructions for adding messages to a locked door and it's just not working.
What I did:
Added: <CATEGORY Name=“Messages”>
<Entry Name =“msgname1”>The door seems to be locked. Maybe I should look around a little bit.</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
To my .lang file
Also added:
void DoorLockedPlayer1(string &in entity)
{
if(GetSwingDoorLocked("castle_1") == true)
{
SetMessage("Messages", "msgname1", 0);
}
}
To my .hps file
I clicked on my door in hpl2 and went to the Entity's tab
(The door was already locked) and typed in
DoorLockedPlayer1 for the player interact call back.
I am thinking it is a scripting error.
Please help me?

Instead of getswingdoorlocked, try this:
SetSwingDoorLocked("castle_1", false, true);
and take off the extra } at the end.
Im no expert at scripting but I am trying to help.

If those special quotation marks were used in the LANG file, then that's one explanation why the message didn't work.

Instead of: if(GetSwingDoorLocked("castle_1") == true)
Use: if(GetSwingDoorLocked("castle_1"))
It comes back as "true," and that's what triggers the if statement. Operations like == are only used for numbers.
