Having problems with key unlocking a door scripting.

[ieatbrainz]

I'm new to editing and I have done a few little scripting things on my map so far, but now I am attempting to bring a key into it. I've watched a fair few tutorials, gone through heaps of threads in attempt to find an answer.. I can get into the map, no fatal errors or anything, but the key doesn't actually work on the door. I have the names right for the key and the door.

I have another item in my scripting, so if you can be awesome and look through my scripting to see where I went wrong it would mean a lot.


////////////////////////////
// Run when entering map
void OnStart()

{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "RoomTwoArea", "CollideRoomTwo", true, 1);
AddUseItemCallback("", "KeyOne", "manny", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);
}

void CollideRoomTwo(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetSwingDoorClosed("Mansion_1", true, true);
StartPlayerLookAt("Mansion_1", 10.0f, 10.0f, "");
AddTimer("", 1, "stoplook");
}

void stoplook(string &in asTimer)
{
StopPlayerLookAt();
GiveSanityDamage(5.0f, true);
}

void KeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("manny", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "manny", 0, false);
RemoveItem("KeyOne");
}



////////////////////////////
// Run when entering map
void OnEnter()
{

}

////////////////////////////
// Run when leaving map
void OnLeave()
{

}

I also have the key/door on a separate level, I'm not sure if this means I need to make a separate .hps file or not...

Thanks heaps

Your callback is incorrect.

void KeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)

Should be:

void UsedKeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)

[SilentStriker]

The best way to make that function is like this:

PHP Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
AddUseItemCallback("", "KeyOne", "manny", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);

}

void UsedKeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked(asEntity, false, true);
    PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", asEntity, 0, false);
    RemoveItem(asItem);
} 


By writing the function like this will make that function be reusable without unlocking wrong door and removing a key you don't have.

For Example:

PHP Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
AddUseItemCallback("", "KeyOne", "manny", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);
AddUseItemCallback("", "KeyTwo", "Manny2", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);
}

void UsedKeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked(asEntity, false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", asEntity, 0, false);
RemoveItem(asItem);
} 


The above code is an example on how you can reuse the code. You can have 2 UseItemCallbacks and both works without any problems

I changed the function to UsedKeyOnDoor, but it still doesn't work, i try to use the key on the door and it doesn't work

Sounds like you have something labelled incorrectly somewhere then.

This is the basic key script.


{
AddUseItemCallback("", "KeyOne", "manny", "UsedKeyOnDoor", true);
}


void UsedKeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("manny", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "manny", 0, false);
RemoveItem("KeyOne");
}


KeyOne = The key in your editor. It needs to have the exact same name as in your script.
I guess your key is called KeyOne in both places


Manny = I guess this is the door. Also needs same names, you know


UsedKeyOnDoor = This is the function you call.
A function is called when you write: void [Name of the function](something that specifies the function)

The function-name you put in the void OnStart() and the function you call with 'void' also needs the same names.

In your place:

void UsedKeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity) <- This specifies that you use an item on something (In this place, a door)

The name could be anything else than UsedKeyOnDoor, as long as they both are the same.

You see there is a lot that needs the same names, so i would just re-check all the names

I hope you understood this
