What is the script for making the player look a spefici place? - Hartmann - 06-22-2012
What is the script for making the player look a specific upon picking up and item?
item: key_3
place name: mansion_5
and if u can can you make the door close too?
RE: What is the script for making the player look a spefici place? - drunkmonk - 06-22-2012
The script for making the play look at something is
StartPlayerLookAt("mansion_5", 10, 10, ""); (the numbers are just the spped at which the player looks at the object or area)
and to open a door you woul either have to use
AddPropImpulse("mansion_5", 0, 0, 10, "World");
or
AddPropForce("mansion_5", 0, 0, 10, "World");
(you may need to play around with the scripting for the door closing)
you may also be able to get away with just using
SetSwingDoorClosed("mansion_5", true, true);

You need to add a timer with AddTimer, which call the function to stop the looking at part with StopPlayerLookAt, or else you're frozen to look there. Look at the Engine scripts page in the wiki(http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/amnesia/script_functions) for everything you need.

AddTimer(mansion_5, 3, LookAtDoor);
mansion_5 must be in brackets:"mansion_5", and LookAtDoor too.
or better: name it something different, as that name is not really great as a stopplayerlookat function.
so change it to this:AddTimer("StopLook", 3, "LookAtDoor");
second problem: you're missing the LookAtDoor function. Add to the very bottom, outside of any function:
void LookAtDoor(string &in asTimer)
{
StopPlayerLookAt();
}
Now the third problem:
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "mansion_5", 0.0f, true);
the sound needs its extension, or else it won't work. replace all of those functions with this:
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door.snt", "mansion_5", 0.0f, true);
That's it. after this, it should work.
However, you can do great at decreasing the length of this script, by putting all UnlockDoor functions into a single one. But since you're unexperienced, you should stay by that at first.

if you can't fix it with such instructions, where I stated what to put where, then..well..maybe someone else does the work.
