RE: AddEntityCollideCallback - Khyrpa - 01-02-2012
"Calls a function when two entites collide"
If you move as the player and hit any part of the chest, then it should trigger. But not on interaction. So you might be better off with:
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback(string& asName, string& asCallback, bool abRemoveOnInteraction);
"Calls a function when the player interacts with a certain entity"
You can also set that inside the level editor with the entity properties.

Before I seen you're reply, I tried SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("chest_small_2", "TriggerSpider", true); but that didn't work either.
Do I just insert the name of the function in the PlayerInteractCallback field? Just "TriggerSpider"?
I've never used the script functions inside the editor, does it change anything in the .hps file itself?

I figured out the other day playing Unsterblich that spiders do not work properly in Amnesia. They will scurry around and attack you, but the mesh stays at the 0 point of all axis in the level. It's a bug (no pun intended), and unfortunately, does not work like they do in Penumbra. =[ I'm sorry

When you write TriggerSpider there, just put:

void TriggerSpider(string &in asEntity)

Thanks for the warning about the bug, I switched to the insan_visions spider.
As for the PlayerInteractCallback, are you saying I have to put the whole function in that tiny field box? I'd rather do it in the script itself if that's the case.
As for now, I have SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("chest_small_2", "TriggerSpider", true);, but the spider is not in the chest when I open it.

void OnStart()
{
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("chest_small_2", "TriggerSpider", true);
}
void TriggerSpider(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("spider_1", true);
//FadeOut(0); //I like to use somethings like this to check if a callback happens
}

It makes the screen black instantly. That's actually a good teting idea. see, if a function isn't working, a visual like THAT would easily tell you if something is wrong with a specific function, or if it is working fine but has a typo somewhere, etc. Understand?
