+---- Thread: [SCRIPT] I Want To Break A Ladder. (/thread-21518.html)
I Want To Break A Ladder. - thestormcrow - 05-16-2013
I wanted a ladder to break as the player is climbing down it for a scare. The following is in my script file:
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "LadderBreakArea", "BreakLadder", true, 1);
}
void OnEnter()
{
PlayMusic(("12_amb.ogg"), true, 1, 10, 0, false);
}
void OnLeave()
{
StopMusic(1, 0);
}
void BreakLadder(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetPropHealth("ladder", 0);
SetEntityActive("LadderArea_1", false);
}
The ladder does not break and the ladder area doesn't deactivate til the player leaves it. Have I made some mistake/can anyone suggest a suitable workaround?

I think it doesn't break because the ladder haven't an animation for it.

once the player is in the area, whether it is turned on or off the player will still be on it as you said. try using playerforce ( like prop force) to move the player away from the ladder area... might work.
As for the animation I don't know.

I would try ChangePlayerStateToNormal(); to make the player fall.
Then, i'd replace the stairs with smaller parts. And don't forget the sound.

Have you tried pushing the player off of the ladder area when it breaks? PlayerAddForce or something like that. Can't quite remember.
Edit: Or maybe try teleporting them to a script area very close to where they would be when the event triggers. Combine that with some screen shaking and it shouldn't be noticeable.

Easy way: FadeOut(0);
and play a sound
