How do you turn off the "hand" icon when looking at a Area trigger? - jssjr90 - 01-03-2013
I have a bit of a problem. Every time I create a new trigger area, and look at it with the cross hair, It will show up as a hand icon, which takes the immersion away allot. Now I think it does this on "Entity Interact Callback" But when I also use the other callbacks, like collide and such, it still shows the hand icon. I have seen in many other custom story's where when you are looking at the trigger area in a collide function, the hand icon does not show up, but it does for me. Does anybody know how to turn off the hand icon when looking at a trigger area collide callback type?

You have an interact-callback either in the script or in the area itself.

I'm not really sure what you mean by "trigger area", so I'm going to assume you mean Script Area.
In your script, add this to your OnEnter function.
PHP Code:
void OnEnter()
{
SetEntityInteractionDisabled("AreaName", true);
}

EDIT: missread
Do you have any text in the PlayerInteractCallback under the "Area" tab in the script area?

He doesn't want the hand icon. That script would add it.

Actually no, it would not add it. It's saying that it's TRUE that interaction with the entity will be DISABLED.

Hmm having trubble with this from the suggestions. Here is what I have for a simple test script.
The hand icon still shows up when looking at the script area.
//HAND ICON OFF on script area
void OnEnter()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player","ScriptArea_156", "ScriptArea_156func", false, 1);
SetEntityInteractionDisabled("ScriptArea_156", true);
}
//Functionvoid ScriptArea_156func(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetMessage("Message", "Thaughts23b", 5);
}

I have no clue. All I an say is make sure that it is a Script Area and not any other type of area.

Don't worry it is a script area. Well maybe if I look in the original amnesia levels, maybe I can get somewhere with that.

I believe you're looking for this function:
void ShowPlayerCrossHairIcons(bool abX);
