Hi

I'm trying to check wheter an enemy disappears by hallucination.
GetEntityExists doesn't seems to work, the entity might be still active after the vanish.
I did something like this:
Nothing happens.
I don't know how GetEnemyStateName should work.

Anyone?

The function only appears to be meant to check if the entity is active. Not the other way around, strangely.

EDIT: If you want something to happen if the enemy disables, use the "OnAutoDisable" function. That's the furthest thing I can come up with.

You could mathematically count the distance between the Player and the monster by using looping timers, GetEntityPosition and GetPlayerPosition (and Pythagorean Theorem), I guess you could skip the Y dimension for simplicity.

Then call SetEnemyIsHallucination or FadeEnemyToSmoke when it gets too close, and at the same time change a GlobalVariable, which would serve as an indicator of the fact whether the enemy is faded to smoke.

It's kind of an overshot for the effect you need, but I'm 99% sure it would work.
