I was trying to use a crowbar to open a door, and it didn't work. It said that it cannot be used when I used the crowbar on the door. The entities involved are: "cellar_wood01_slow_2" , "crowbar_1". The scriptareas that are involved are: "BreakDoor" , "AreaUseCrowbar" , "AreaBreakEffect". In the scriptarea "AreaUseCrowbar", ItemInteraction is checked.

Added script in section above.

Oh come on!! XD

It'd be much easier to read if you didn't show your entire .hps file.

Whenever someone posts something like this I laugh and wonder how are people supposed to "read" that and solve it...
Maybe I'm just stupid and don't know a thing of it, but it sure looks like a seven headed monster to me xP

Sorry bout' my script of doom...

Here is the main part I am focusing on.



void UseCrowbarOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
AddTimer(asEntity, 0.2, "TimerSwitchShovel");
PlaySoundAtEntity("pickupcrow","player_crouch.snt", "Player", 0.05, false);

//Remove callback incase player never touched door
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("cellar_wood01_slow_2", "", true);
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("AreaUseCrowbar", "", true);

RemoveItem(asItem);
}
void TimerSwitchShovel(string &in asTimer)
{
PlaySoundAtEntity("attachshovel","puzzle_place_jar.snt", asTimer, 0, false);

SetEntityActive("crowbar_joint_1", true);
}
void CollideAreaBreakDoor(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)

It runs, but it doesn't work... :\

I really need help with it. They should make a tutorial on combining objects and also interacting with those objects with other objects.

Add debug messages to your code to see if functions are really triggered and what is going on.

for example in UseCrowbarOnDoor

Add AddDebugMessage("Used Item: "+asItem+" On Entity: "+asEntity, false);
If you see no message, then the function is never called, if you see a message you can see what it calls the item and entity. This was just an example, but do these types of checks and you'll save time and can troubleshoot.

Okay, thanks! I'll try it!

OMFG! I got it to work!

The thing I was missing was the callbacks... :\
