Activating a ScriptArea in one map from a different map - Cyphermur9t - 03-25-2013
I wouldn't have an idea how to do this:
Activate a ScriptArea in one map from a different map.
I know how to use a key in a different map from the one it originates from. Sooo, that's basically my question. Sorry, completely clueless on this one

You have to set up global variables as well as make a global.hps to make it work.

As Statyk said, you will need to use global variables. Create a file called "global.hps" and put it in your maps folder. Then write this in the file:
PHP Code:
void OnGameStart()
{
SetGlobalVarInt("EventHappened", 0);
}
Then once the event happens in the other map and you want to activate the script area, write
Code:
AddGlobalVarInt("EventHappened", 1);In the script for the map with the script area, write this (make sure you write it in the OnEnter function):
PHP Code:
void OnEnter()
{
if(GetGlobalVarInt("EventHappened") == 1) {
SetEntityActive("ScriptAreaNameHere", true);
}
}
