Activating a monster if the player stands in area for certain time problem [SOLVED] - Slanderous - 07-18-2015
Hey. I've been making a script on a separated map just to test it out, basically what I'm aiming to do is activating a monster if the player stands in a specific area for 5 seconds. The problem is, no matter whether I stand there for 1, 2 or 4 seconds, the monster still spawns.
Here is what my .hps file contains.
Thanks in advance
PS. Sorry for damn long thread name, but I didn't know how to describe it shorter.

Make it simple. The simpler the better.
After entering the area, add a timer. Upon leaving the area, remove the timer. Have the monster enable in the timer callback.
PHP Code:
void OnStart()
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "SpidersHatch", false, 0);
}
void SpidersHatch(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
if(alState == 1) AddTimer("hatch_time", 5.0f, "Hatching_Timer");
if(alState == -1) RemoveTimer("hatch_time");
}
void Hatching_Timer(string &in asTimer)
{
SetEntityActive("Spiders?", true);
}

Worked as intended, I didn't realise you can do it in such way XD Anyways, thanks a lot man!
