How to activate an area during gameplay? - j00le - 12-31-2013
Hello, I'm kinda new with custom story making so I need some help.
So, I need to activate a script area by picking up an item or walking to another script area.
Help me out, please

You can use the function SetEntityActive to set the area active like you would do with an item. Simply uncheck the Active box in the level editor. Do you need me to give you the whole script ^^ ?

I tried it and it worked, thank you very much
Great example, how simple things matter in this!
Btw, you happen to know a tutorial video about making animations?

Nope. I will be learning 3D sculpting and animation creation as soon as I have finished my first mod, but right now I don't know any turotial.

Animations are tough to make. Learning Animation in a week is kinda impossible.

I may be using wrong term, what I'm meaning is for example flashback where the player walks without you being able to control it.

You can make the player incabable of controls with the function
SetPlayerActive(false);
Then with different script lines you can make the scene you want.
Use this:

and Ctrl+F to search
MovePlayerForward has to be repeadetly called by a timer, but is a function that makes the player walk.
