Problem with scripting monsters - The chaser - 07-01-2012
Hello everyone:
I'm making a very simple map, "The chasing", with only one monster. The objective is that when the player collides with the script area, a monsters appears. It must be very simple, but i've made the script and it doesn't work.
Here is the script:
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "ActivateMonster", true, 1);
}
void OnEnter ()
{
}
void OnLeave
{
}
void ActivateMonster(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("servant_grunt_2", true);
I don't know what's wrong, so i would like a lot a bit of help.

OnLeave is missing (), and you should set the () at OnEnter right after it, just in case...

void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "ActivateMonster", true, 1);
}
void ActivateMonster(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("servant_grunt_2", true);
}
i dont think you want the monster to appear when leaving the map?

Copy and paste this:
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "ActivateMonster", true, 1);
}
void ActivateMonster(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("servant_grunt_2", true);
}
void OnEnter ()
{
}
void OnLeave()
{
}

{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "ActivateMonster", true, 1);
}
void ActivateMonster(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)

RE: Problem with scripting monsters - EXAWOLT - 07-02-2012
doesn´t writing in OnLeave() means it happens when leaving map?
RE: Problem with scripting monsters - The chaser - 07-02-2012
I've tried the script:
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "ActivateMonster", true, 1);
}
void ActivateMonster(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("servant_grunt_2", true);
}
void OnEnter ()
{
}
void OnLeave()
{
}
It doesn't work. I think it's ok, what could be wrong?
RE: Problem with scripting monsters - Cruzore - 07-02-2012
Just in case since I don't know if it is needed, but put the () right after OnEnter, not a space between. Just in case.

Are the MAP and HPS files named to match each other? Are you sure it is servant_grunt_2 that you're trying to activate?
RE: Problem with scripting monsters - The chaser - 07-02-2012
Thanks everyone, i solved the problem. The HPS and MAP files didn't have the same name. But thanks everyone, really, this forum is awesome.
