SetSwingDoorLocked(entity, false, true);
I dont think you can write 'entity' in there, without having an object in your map called: entity.
If you have an object called: entity, then you have to put these "" around the word.
SetSwingDoorLocked("entity", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "entity", 0, false);
In this case: [ SetSwingDoorLocked("entity", false, true); ] you are using a door. If you haven't changed your door name then it would be something like "mansion_1" or "castle_1".
Something like that, instead of entity

It still did not work, although I had a feeling this would be so as I did not change it to the entity and item thing until after it wasnt working originally. Anyone else? I have no idea whats going on and it is quite confusing, I just want to be able to make games. Any support or help is greatly appreceated! Thanks!
CURRENT CODE:
////////////////////////////

I am completely clueless, its as if my computer refuses to read the file and is ignoring it. I get absolutely no errors but nothing happens. Did I miss a download or do I need something else?

RE: Custom Story Script Problems - FlawlessHappiness - 07-15-2012
I don't know if it will work, but have you tried deleting your map.cache?
A lot of people do so, and then something works... I don't know if this is the right, but there must be something wrong since it ain't working

so sorry, I couldnt show you a picture unless you know of another way.

wheres the map cache?
RE: Custom Story Script Problems - FlawlessHappiness - 07-15-2012
My map.cache is in:
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Amnesia - The Dark Descent
\redist\custom_stories\[CUSTOMSTORY]\maps\
i don't know about the Steam version.
What i do when i post pictures is:
Go to the level editor where you want to post the picture>Press "PrtSc SysRq">Go to paint>Ctrl+v>
Crop the most important>Save>There you go
RE: Custom Story Script Problems - Ongka - 07-15-2012

Test

-custom_story_settings.cfg
-extra_english.lang

That is all of the files I have.
also with the picture, that is exactly what I did but it said t was still too big. 500 kilobytes is insanely small, my picture alone was 1.02 mb. Sorry for the inconveniences! but i appreciate the help!
So what do I do now, and am I missing something here with the map_cache?
RE: Custom Story Script Problems - Ongka - 07-15-2012
No, the map_cache saves some parts of your level in order to shorten the loading times. Sometimes static objects get messed up because of the cache. If this is the case, just delete the cache. If you don't have a cache this problem can't occur

So I guess it just doesnt like my files.

Its the exact same as everone elses that I cheked, but my computer doesnt seem to even execute it.
