I decided I'd jump into this map making stuff.

I found out how do to mostly everything in about 2 hours.

This is my second question.

Here is my first problem

void Start(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
PlayMusic("16_amb.ogg", true, 1, 4, 0, true);
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("Open", "Change", true);
SetPlayerCrouching(true);
SetPlayerActive(false);
FadeOut(0.0f);
FadeIn(12.0f);
FadeImageTrailTo(1, 2);
StartPlayerLookAt("tree_pine_59", 10, 120, "");
FadeRadialBlurTo(0.10, 2);
FadeRadialBlurTo(0.10, 2);
AddTimer("1", 3, "BeginTimer");
AddTimer("2", 4.5f, "BeginTimer");
AddTimer("3", 6.5f, "BeginTimer");
AddTimer("4", 9, "BeginTimer");
AddTimer("5", 11, "BeginTimer");
AddTimer("6", 14, "BeginTimer");
}


void BeginTimer(string &in asTimer)
{
if(asTimer == "1"){
PlayGuiSound("player_cough.snt", 0.7f);
StopPlayerLookAt();
}
else if(asTimer == "2"){
FadePlayerRollTo(85, 1, 1);
SetPlayerCrouching(true);
}
else if(asTimer == "3"){
StartPlayerLookAt("tree_pine_47", 1, 2.0f, "");
AddEffectVoice("Chat2.ogg", "", "Subtitles", "Chat2", false, "Player", 0, 0);
}
else if(asTimer == "4"){
StopPlayerLookAt();
StartPlayerLookAt("tree_pine_24", 1, 2.0f, "");
PlayGuiSound("react_breath_slow.snt", 0.7f);
}
else if(asTimer == "5"){
StopPlayerLookAt();
StartPlayerLookAt("foliage_grass01_6", 1, 2.0f, "");
}
else if(asTimer == "6"){
StopPlayerLookAt();
FadeImageTrailTo(0, 1.0f);
FadePlayerRollTo(0, 33, 33);
FadeRadialBlurTo(0.0, 1);
PlayGuiSound("react_breath_slow.snt", 0.5f);
SetPlayerActive(true);
AddEffectVoice("Chat1.ogg", "", "Subtitles", "Chat1", false, "Player", 0, 0);
SetPlayerCrouching(false);
}
}


The "StartPlayerLookAt" Function is not working. I have no map_cache files.
Also another one is broken.



void ScareTimer(string &in asTimer)
{
if(asTimer == "1"){
SetEntityActive("servant_brute_run_1", false);
GiveSanityDamage(5, true);
StopPlayerLookAt();
SetPlayerActive(true);
AddEffectVoice("Chat3.ogg", "", "Subtitles", "Chat3", false, "Player", 0, 0);
}
}


void Creep(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "scare_wind.snt", "Player", 0, false);
SetPlayerActive(false);
StartPlayerLookAt("tree_pine_50", 1, 252.0f, "");
SetEntityActive("servant_brute_run_1", true);
AddTimer("1", 4, "ScareTimer");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_brute_run_1", "PathNodeArea_1", 1, "");
}
"AddEnemyPatrolNode" Isn't activating. The monster will just aimlessly stand there.

CreateParticleSystemAtEntity("ParticleSystem_1", "ps_break_mansionbase_wall.ps", "Open", false);

This above is another failed one. I don't believe I'm using it correctly. I placed a particle system down named "ParticleSystem_1" Copied the system it plays. The "Open" entity is an "Examine Area", I have a setEntityPlayerInteract Script to the Examine Area.


This is like me trying to do the dishes. A lot of hard work is put into it and it's barely effective.


Thanks for reading my question.
Who ever has helped me before knows I give rep for help.

The function:
void SetupLoadScreen(string&asTextCat, string&asTextEntry, int alRandomNum, string&asImageFile);

Determines which loading screen will be shown when changing maps.

asTextCat - the category of the loading text in the .lang file to be shown on the loading screen
asTextEntry - the entry in the .lang file
alRandomNum - if greater 1, then it will randomize between 1
and alRandom for each LoadScreen giving entry the suffix XX (eg 01). If
< =1 then no suffix is added
asImageFile - the image to be shown (optional)




So in the .hps, do this:

void OnLeave()
{
SetupLoadScreen("LoadText", "01_mapLoadText", 0, "image.jpg");
}

Fantastic!

Thanks for the immediate response. I will use this more in the future. +1 reputation for you.

Here's the list of the rest of the functions if you need them

*Bump* I added a new question. Please read the first post again. Any new answers will go below.
Thanks for helping and reading this thread!

For starters, it's OnStart, not Start. Secondly, the Creep function has a syntax for collision callbacks, but i couldn't find AddEntityCollideCallback anywhere in your script.

I must have confused you with the lack of script.
I'll post my entire script so far.

-----------------

void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Creep", "Creep", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Start", "Start", true, 1);

}


void OnLeave()

Edit :: Oh god it looks like such a mess without the spacing.

Are tree_pine_* and foliage_grass01_* static objects? I don't think StartPlayerLookAt works with static objects.

Try preloading the particle system in OnEnter and try the event again.

Play through the entire map, activating every event, then check the hpl.log at Documents/Amnesia/Main for any insight on any issues.

Awesome! That works.
