Show message when interacting with a door? - srobb - 09-29-2012
I want a message to show up on the screen when the player interacts with this door.
.hps file:
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("wifesroom", "showdoortext1", true);
void showdoortext1(string &in asEntity)
{
if(GetSwingDoorLocked(asEntity)== true)
{
SetMessage("Message", "doortext1", 0);
}
}
.lang file:
</CATEGORY>
<CATEGORY Name="Messages">
<Entry Name="doortext1">Hmm... My wife's room... I wonder why it's locked.</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
Thanks in advance.

Is there a problem with it? If so, what is it doing?
RE: Show message when interacting with a door? - srobb - 09-29-2012
It doesn't show any message at all.

You category name is wrong.
It should be "Message" instead of "Messages"
RE: Show message when interacting with a door? - srobb - 09-29-2012
I changed it to "Message". Still won't work.

You forgot the </LANGUAGE> at the end of the file.

if you haven't forgotten to put it there you still need:
</LANGUAGE>
at the end of the .LANG
RE: Show message when interacting with a door? - srobb - 09-29-2012
It still won't work.
