Try this
Some of your organisation was a bit strange, but for all intents and purposes this should work, provided the ID's in the editor are all identical and the particles/sounds are not active

Now my whole map doesnt work, says alot of convention of double float.

And

tons of compilings..... eg. compiling void on start () ......... thanks.

[jens]

It's probably the typos:

Code: (Select All)

AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "RoomTwoArea", "CollideRoomTwo", true, 1)
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "RoomThreeArea", "CollideRoomThree", true, 1);)

it should be
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "RoomTwoArea", "CollideRoomTwo", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "RoomThreeArea", "CollideRoomThree", true, 1);

[LoneWolf]

Fixed it you missed a ; and you added in an extra bracket ) .


My map turns on now but liek before the sounds and particles turn on at start and dont turn on when i walk into scripted area.... really annoyed now.

EDIT: yeah few typo's . So i guess it doesnt really matter how you lay the script out as its changed nothing thanks for trying anyway.

I also don't understand how particles and sounds can become active when not activated. Makes no sense at all. As their turned off but only turn on when i walk into the scripted area like i've said before.

[jens]

Have you used sound entities and particle entities in the level for these sounds? I mean are there speaker and PS icons? If so then that is why they activate directly, they are not meant to be used as you want them.

You place regular script areas instead and then you use the PlaySoundAtEntity and CreateParticleSystemAtEntity to play sounds and start particles at those areas.

The icons appear in the level editor, btu when i untick the activate box for the particles the icon (PS) turns black. I'm not quite sure what you mean by placing sccript areas instead, as i've got the sounds to work plenty of times in my levels using the same technique i'm using. I've just never used the particle script before.

[jens]

You do not place sound and particles entities to turn them on/off, you only place them to have them enabled from the start of a level and if wanted turning them off while playing the level.

If you want to play a sound or start a particle while playing a level, that is not active when starting the level, you create areas and use the PlaySoundAtEntity/CreateParticleSystemAtEntity functions.

So for example create a script area called AreaMyEffects, then in script type:

Code: (Select All)

PlaySoundAtEntity("monster_alert_sound", "amb_alert.snt", "AreaMyEffects", 0, false);
CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("monster_alert_particle", "ps_water_dump.ps", "AreaMyEffects", false);

This will make the sound play and the particle to appear at the center of the AreaMyEffects area.

You can also use entities for this, for example if you have a Lamp entity named MyBigBrightCandle, then:

Code: (Select All)

PlaySoundAtEntity("monster_alert_sound", "amb_alert.snt", "MyBigBrightCandle", 0, false);
CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("monster_alert_particle", "ps_water_dump.ps", "MyBigBrightCandle", false);

Would do the same and play/create stuff at the candle entity.

[Frontcannon]

You can also use entities for this,

I tried that with a fire PS and the orchid entity, and at the start of the level (right after the player spawns) it is played once and then triggered correctly with sound and all when the player goes into the ScriptArea.

Well my particle and sound problems have all been solved thanks to Jens
