Hi.

Im trying to get the player look at something when he enters a specific area.
But the problem is that im a totally noob at scripting so could somebody see what is wrong with my script?

If you find out whats wrong could you please post the entire fixed script?

Here is the full script:

////////////////////////////
// Run first time start[/color]ing map
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Scare1", "LookAtDoor", true, 0);
AddUseItemCallback("", "Key1", "Unlock1", "UsedKeyOnDoor1", true);
FadeOut(0);
FadeIn(20);
FadeImageTrailTo(2, 2);
FadeSepiaColorTo(100, 4);
SetPlayerActive(false);
FadePlayerRollTo(50, 220, 220);
FadeRadialBlurTo(0.15, 2);
SetPlayerCrouching(true);
AddTimer("trig1", 11.0f, "beginStory");
}

void beginStory(string &in asTimer)
{
ChangePlayerStateToNormal();
SetPlayerActive(true);
FadePlayerRollTo(0, 33, 33);
FadeRadialBlurTo(0.0, 1);
FadeSepiaColorTo(0, 4);
SetPlayerCrouching(false);
FadeImageTrailTo(0,1);
}

void UsedKeyOnDoor1(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("Unlock1", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "Unlock1", 0, false);
RemoveItem("Key1");
PlayMusic("02_puzzle.ogg", false, 0.7, 0.1, 10, true);
RemoveItem("Key1");
GiveSanityBoost();
}

void Lookatdoor(string &in asTimer)
{
if(asTimer == "Lookatdoor_01")
{
StartPlayerLookAt("castle_1",2.0f,5.0f,"");
AddTimer("Lookatdoor_02",1.5f,"Lookatdoor");
}

if(asTimer == "Lookatdoor_02")
{
StopPlayerLookAt();
}
}

// Run when entering map
void OnEnter()
{
PlayMusic("27_paper_daniel01.ogg", true, 1.0f, 0, 0, true);
}


////////////////////////////
// Run when leaving map
void OnLeave()
{

}

StartPlayerLookAt("castle_1", 4, 100, "");
Try this. And make sure castle_1 is a lookable object

All the stuff in scripts is case-sensitive. The script probably doesn't work because when the player collides with the area, it calls a funtion named 'LookAtDoor' but your function is named 'Lookatdoor'. I fixed it and the whole script is below.
I'm also concerned about the 'if(asTimer == "Lookatdoor_01")' because you apparently don't have a function that adds a timer like that but test it nevertheless, it might work now.

What do you mean by "lookable object"???

Also i tried your script akasu but still no luck

This is the way I'd do it myself:
If that doesn't work, it is possible that you've got the names wrong. You should check those out.
