[LVL ED] How do I make a ladder teleport you to next level?

[Inurias]

(I am assuming that you already created a working script file for the corresponding map. If this is not the case, google up the basics about scripting with hpl2, also, this link could help you a lot: http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/start)



First you add a ScriptArea to your desired location, after that, you add a "AddEntityCollideCallback" call into your initializing function (most likely "OnStart" in your case), you do this by using:

Code: (Select All)

void AddEntityCollideCallback(string& asParentName, string&  asChildName, string& asFunction, bool abDeleteOnCollide, int  alStates);

Callback syntax: void MyFunc(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
alState: 1 = enter, -1 = leave

asParentName - internal name of main object
asChildName - internal name of object that collides with main object (asterix (*) NOT supported!)
asFunction - function to call
abDeleteOnCollide - determines whether the callback after it was called
alStates - 1 = only enter, -1 = only leave, 0 = both


Then, in your CallBack function you use:

Code: (Select All)

void ChangeMap(string& asMapName, string& asStartPos, string& asStartSound, string& asEndSound);

asMapName - the file to load
asStartPos - the name of the StartPos on the next map
asStartSound - the sound that is played when the change starts
asEndSound - the sound that is played when the new map is loaded
