Hello, again!

Is there a script so that if, for example, there are three candles in a room. To blow them out the player must collide with the script area surrounding that candle. Basically, when the player collides with the area it renders the candle inactive. Is there a way so that once all candles are inactive the screen fades to black? Like this:

Walks over to Candle 1 Area - Blows the candle out
Candle2&3 still active, so no Fade To Black

Walks over to Candle 2 Area - Blows the candle out
Candle3 still active, so no Fade To Black

Walks over to Candle 3 Area - Blows the candle out
All candles inactive, fade to black occurs

Also, would it matter if the player did blew the candles out in a random order?

Yes, here it is:

Everytime the players unlits a candle, the function 'check' goes active. The function 'check' checks if the variable 'lamplit' is 3. If it's not, it does nothing.Ugh, my english..

{
AddEntityCollideCallback("script_area1", "Player", "Func1", true, 0);
AddEntityCollideCallback("script_area2", "Player", "Func2", true, 0);
AddEntityCollideCallback("script_area3", "Player", "Func3", true, 0);
SetLocalVarInt("lamplit", 0);
}

void Func1(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)

SetLampLit("candle1", false, true);
AddLocalVarInt("lamplit", 1);
check();

void Func2(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)

FadeOut(2);

Okay, I understand most of that, but why would "lamplit" equal to three when you set the varients to zero? Does that mean if the three "lamplit" items all equal the same fade out?

No, I just added a variable in OnStart() with the number 0. Everytime he collides with the script_area, the AddLocalVarInt adds 1 on top of that. So first time 0 + 1 = 1. So after the player unlits the first candle, the lamplit variable = 1. Same with the second and third candle. You can check this with if(GetLocalVarInt("lamplit")===1) and if(GetLocalVarInt("lamplit")===2). And letting them play a sound or something in brackets.

This script would do the same:


It's just easier to start with 0 instead of 5.

Ah! I get it now. Thank you, this is perfect!

No problem

To add another candle, would I just have to add another script area, another function and set the "=== 3" to "=== 4"?

SetLocalVarInt("lamplit", 0);

void Func1(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetLampLit("candle1", false, true);
AddLocalVarInt("lamplit", 1);

Im curious, whats the difference between using 2 is equal to signs and using 3, to be more specific whats the difference between "==" and "==="

Me too. This isn't in the comparison operators.

Doesn't seem to be working. I keep getting fatal errors
