What do i put in between } and { after SetEntityActive? - pingthepong - 01-25-2013
Okay guys, so I have been doing this whole Custom Story thing for a few days now, but one thing is really confusing me. Below, I have posted my .hps for a map i'm making. What I really don't understand is how "grunt3" will never spawn. I think it's to do with the two brackets, where there's no "void" bit inbetween. I can get this map running, but I've purposely left that gap so you guys could help me with it. Any ideas?
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "grunt_area", "monster", true,1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("grunt1","stop","CollideStop",true,1);
}
void monster(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("grunt1",true);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("grunt1","node_1",0,"");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("grunt1","node_2",0,"");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("grunt1","node_3",0,"");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("grunt1","node_4",0,"");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("grunt1","node_5",0,"");
}
void CollideStop(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("grunt1",false);
}
void OnEnter()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "grunt2_area", "monster2", true,1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("grunt","stop","CollideStop2",true,1);
}
void monster2(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("grunt2",true);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("grunt2","grunt2node_1",0,"");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("grunt2","grunt2node_2",0,"");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("grunt2","grunt2node_3",0,"");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("grunt2","grunt2node_4",0,"");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("grunt2","grunt2node_5",0,"");
}
void CollideStop2(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("grunt2",false);
}
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "grunt3area", "monster3", true,1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("grunt3","stop","CollideStop3",true,1);
}
void monster3(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("grunt3",true);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("grunt3","grunt3node1",0,"");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("grunt3","grunt3node2",0,"");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("grunt3","grunt3node3",0,"");
}
void CollideStop3(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("grunt3",false);
}
void OnLeave()
{
}
RE: What do i put in between } and { after SetEntityActive? - FlawlessHappiness - 01-25-2013
There should never be void inside the brackets.
This is the function you wrote:
SetEntityActive("grunt3",false);
This is the entity you want to do the line with. In this situation, a grunt.
This one defines if the entity should be active or inactive.
true = active
false = inactive
You see, you set it to false. That's why it isn't spawning.
In other scripting-situations, post your question here: http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/forum-39.html

Okay, but the grunt still isn't spawning.
RE: What do i put in between } and { after SetEntityActive? - FlawlessHappiness - 01-25-2013
Because these two lines
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "grunt3area", "monster3", true,1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("grunt3","stop","CollideStop3",true,1);
}
Are not being called.
They would be called if they were under fx. void OnStart
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "grunt3area", "monster3", true,1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("grunt3","stop","CollideStop3",true,1);
}
IMPORTANT:
You cannot have 2 void OnStart's.
You must place the lines next to the other, in the first void OnStart like this:
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "grunt_area", "monster", true,1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("grunt1","stop","CollideStop",true,1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "grunt3area", "monster3", true,1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("grunt3","stop","CollideStop3",true,1);
}

AddEntityCollideCallback("grunt3","stop","CollideStop3",true,1);
}
It worked! thanks man! +rep

Good!
You'll need to understand the how the script works.
If it isn't being called by anything it will not appear in the script.
On thing i don't understand is why you have:
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "grunt2_area", "monster2", true,1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("grunt","stop","CollideStop2",true,1);
Inside the OnEnter.
It should be in the void OnStart, as well.
