?: is known as a ternary operator. It's practically an inline if-else statement.

The same can be re-written as
PHP Code:
if (state == 1)
    gun_target = entity;
else
    gun_target = "";

Ruining the whole idea behind Amnesia aside, there's like one hundred FPS games on the market, and many of them are made through the excellent and free Unreal Development Kit. How come you settled on the HPL engine of all engines?

Sometimes it's fun to press the limitations of an engine. =]

Replace lantern model with a pistol/rifle with a flashlight on it = profit. Of course it would be very time consuming to make (judging by your model and texture creation skills) but it has potential.

Would be nice if someone can create a simple model of a hand holding a gun with integrated flashlight , cause i am just have the modelskills for that Sad. Using both hands like this would be nice [Image: re4cube_092603_x12.jpg]

Will try to integrate a hit-counter and a ammunition-counter today!
Is it possible to get the name of the entity that your a looking at or that causes the collide function ?
Anyone got an idea ? If not , i have to write the hitcounter and soundplays for every enemy in the map Tongue

Code:
string gun_target = "";

void OnStart()
{
//Player
SetSanityDrainDisabled(true);

//Shooting Script
AddLocalVarInt("AmmoCounter", 15); // Amount of munition

    GiveItemFromFile("lantern", "lantern.ent");

    for (int i = 1; GetEntityExists("gun_target_"+i); ++i){
        SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback("gun_target_"+i, "SetGunTarget", false);
        AddLocalVarInt("HitCounter_"+i+"", 0);
        }
    SetLanternLitCallback("FireGun");
}

void SetGunTarget(string &in entity, int state)
{
    gun_target = (state == 1) ? entity : "";
}

void FireGun(bool lit)
{
    if(GetLocalVarInt("AmmoCounter")>0){
    if (gun_target != "")
    {
        //SetPropActiveAndFade(gun_target, false, 1);
        PlaySoundAtEntity("","gun_fire.snt", "Player", 0, false);
        gun_target = "";
        SetMessage("Messages", "Hit", 1);
        SetLocalVarInt("AmmoCounter", GetLocalVarInt("AmmoCounter")-1);
        
    }
    else
        SetMessage("Messages", "Miss", 1);
        PlaySoundAtEntity("","gun_fire.snt", "Player", 0, false);
        SetLocalVarInt("AmmoCounter", GetLocalVarInt("AmmoCounter")-1);
     }
     else
     SetMessage("Messages", "Empty", 1);
     PlaySoundAtEntity("","empty.snt", "Player", 0, false);

    if (!GetLanternActive())
    {
        SetLanternLitCallback("");
        SetLanternActive(true, true);
        SetLanternLitCallback("FireGun");
    }

}

Now with munitioncounter !

Now with Munition Counter and Hitcounter ( 4 hits to fade the enemy )
"Daneben" means "miss" in german language. "Treffer" means "hit" !

Edit 1: It works with more than one enemy !!!!

finally the current script :

PHP Code:
string gun_target = "";

void OnStart()
{
//Player & Items
SetSanityDrainDisabled(true);
GiveItemFromFile("lantern", "lantern.ent");
//SetLanternActive(true, true);

//Variables
AddLocalVarInt("AmmoCounter", 50); // Amount of munition
AddLocalVarInt("MonsterSelection", 0); // With this variable you select the monster you want to give damage
AddLocalVarInt("MonsterHitCounter_1", 0);//Hitcounter for monster A. One for each monster

//LookAtCallbacks ..... One Callback for each enemy !
SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback("gun_target_1", "SetGunTarget_1", false); 
SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback("gun_target_2", "SetGunTarget_2", false);
SetLanternLitCallback("FireGun");
}

void SetGunTarget_1(string &in entity, int state)
{
    gun_target = (state == 1) ? entity : "";
    SetLocalVarInt("MonsterSelection", 1);
}
void SetGunTarget_2(string &in entity, int state)
{
    gun_target = (state == 1) ? entity : "";
    SetLocalVarInt("MonsterSelection", 2);
}
//Shooting Script
void FireGun(bool lit)
{
     if(GetLocalVarInt("AmmoCounter")>0){ 
     if (gun_target != "")
    {
        //SetPropActiveAndFade(gun_target, false, 1);
        PlaySoundAtEntity("","gun_fire.snt", "Player", 0, false);
        gun_target = "";
        SetMessage("Messages", "Hit", 1);
        SetLocalVarInt("AmmoCounter", GetLocalVarInt("AmmoCounter")-1);
        switch( GetLocalVarInt("MonsterSelection") )
        {
        case 1:
             SetLocalVarInt("MonsterHitCounter_1", GetLocalVarInt("MonsterHitCounter_1")+1);
        break;
        case 2:
             SetLocalVarInt("MonsterHitCounter_2", GetLocalVarInt("MonsterHitCounter_2")+1);
        break;
        }
        for (int i = 1; GetEntityExists("gun_target_"+i); ++i){
        if(GetLocalVarInt("MonsterHitCounter_"+i)==4){
        FadeEnemyToSmoke("gun_target_"+i, false);
        }
        }
    }
    else
        SetMessage("Messages", "Miss", 1);
        PlaySoundAtEntity("","gun_fire.snt", "Player", 0, false);
        SetLocalVarInt("AmmoCounter", GetLocalVarInt("AmmoCounter")-1);
     }
     else
     SetMessage("Messages", "Empty", 1);
     PlaySoundAtEntity("","empty.snt", "Player", 0, false);

    if (!GetLanternActive())
    {
        SetLanternLitCallback("");
        SetLanternActive(true, true);
        SetLanternLitCallback("FireGun");
    }

}
