Hi
I want to make a waterlurker,everything works but when the waterlurker kills me is the Area dissapeared and the waterlurker appears no more. What i have to do that the waterlurker appears again?

(Sorry for bad English )

I'm not too sure on this, but you can try adding
CreateDataCache();
to your .hps. It's supposed to cache all of the textures and models until you tell it to destroy them.

CreateDataCache(Area_1);

should be

CreateDataCache();

It doesn't works
The game is no more Crashing but on the second try nothing happens

Can you post your script? Easier to help

EDIT: Nevermind I saw you posted it before xD

It's not that the area is disappearing, it's that monsters disappear when they kill the player and can't be respawned. Therefore trying to re-activate the monster that killed the player isn't going to work. You have to dynamically create the monster or have it pre-exist in the level editor.

Oh I understood it as if the area disappeared and wouldn't work again. My bad

Well, he should also consider passing in false for AddEntityCollideCallback in either case.

It doesn't work
Nothing happens
