Looking around upon start - The Shanus - 08-10-2012
So I forgot how to make the player look around properly, it would seem. What I want to do, is have the player look at a few objects as he spawns. I tried to make him collide with his own spawn area, as you see, but it didn't work. I'm not sure what to do p: It's 2.30am here so I'll be posting this and checking for replies in the morning. Thanks in advance.
PHP Code:
void OnStart()
{
SetPlayerLampOil(0.35f);
SetPlayerActive(false);
SetPlayerLookSpeedMul(0.2f);
FadeRadialBlurTo(0.5f, 3.0f);
SetSanityDrainDisabled(true);
SetInventoryDisabled(false);
BlockDefaultHints();
FadeIn(3);
FadePlayerFOVMulTo(1, 1);;
SetPlayerRunSpeedMul(0);
MovePlayerHeadPos(0, -1.5f, 0, 10, 0.5f);
SetSanityDrainDisabled(true);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "PlayerStartArea_1", "lookingaround1", true, 1);
}
void lookingaround1(string &in asTimer)
{
StartPlayerLookAt("invisible_box_mass_3", 5.0f, 5.0f, "");
AddTimer("", 3.0f, "StopLook");
}
void StopLook(string &in asTimer)
{
StopPlayerLookAt();
}
void BlockDefaultHints()
{
BlockHint("DarknessDecrease");
BlockHint("PickLantern");
BlockHint("PickTinderbox");
BlockHint("SanityHit");
BlockHint("SanityLow");
}
void OnEnter()
{
}

The syntax is incorrect.
void lookingaround1(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)

EDIT: Yes, the problem was with the callback, but now I have another problem - When he looks at the object, his head rolls and unnaturally turns 90 degrees.

Code:

I honestly don't get what it is you actually need help with.

Then maybe you can help [; But thanks for the duplicate. It's for an intro, so I don't want the player to be able to control it - imagine it as a cinematic of sorts.EDIT: Forget it, I just had to move the box he was looking at.
Looking around, player seems to get bored of it. - The Shanus - 08-10-2012
Hey guys, so I've got my guy looking around, but for some reason, after looking at his right arm, he gets lazy, and decides to just stay looking at it, even though I see nothing wrong with the functions. He doesn't go on to look at his bloody chest or the scientist, and I'm not sure why.
Here's the relevant script:
PHP Code:
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "corpse_male_1", "lookingaround1", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "wakeuparea", "wakeup", true, 1);
}
void lookingaround1(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
StartPlayerLookAt("invisible_box_mass_3", 4.0f, 4.0f, "");
AddTimer("", 7.0f, "lookatleftarm");
}
void wakeup(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
FadeOut(0.0f);
AddTimer("", 3.0f, "wakeup2");
}
void wakeup2(string &in asTimer)
{
FadeIn(4.0f);
}
void lookatleftarm(string &in asTimer)
{
StartPlayerLookAt("invisible_box_mass_4", 3.0f, 3.0f, "");
AddTimer("", 2.0f, "lookatrightarm");
}
void lookatrightarm(string &in asTimer)
{
StartPlayerLookAt("invisible_box_mass_5", 3.0f, 3.0f, "");
AddTimer("", 2.0f, "lookatbloodychest");
}
void lookatbloodychest(string &in asTimer)
{
StartPlayerLookAt("blood_pool_static_2", 3.0f, 3.0f, "");
AddTimer("", 2.0f, "lookatscientist");
}
void lookatscientist(string &in asTimer)
{
StartPlayerLookAt("plane_black_plane_black_1", 1.0f, 2.0f, "");
AddTimer("", 30.0f, "StopLook");
}
void StopLook(string &in asTimer)
{
StopPlayerLookAt();
}

I think you have to add a StopPlayerLookAt; in the beginning of a new LookAtTimer.

It may also be that this function doesn't work on static objects, because the blood pool is either a decal or static object and the black plane also.
And you don't have to use invisible box masses, you can just use areas for look-ats.
