Help with looking at area

[Wank]

This is the "voluntary" code. This means that the Player isn't being forced to look at this.

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback("Look", "MessageAppear", true); //Change true to false if you want the message to appear over and over again.
}

void MessageAppear(string &in asEntity, int alState)
{
SetMessage("MessageCategory", "MessageEntry", 0); //Change 0 to how long you want the message to appear. 0 means it will count how many strings it have and calculate the time.
}

What do I do for "Message Category" and "Message Entry"? This is a script area so...

You want a text to appear when the Player is looking at the area, right? The Message Category is the category of the message you want and Message Entry is the entry of the message in the same category earlier.

I still don't fully understand. I have 11 areas likes this. Here is my code- (Oh and sorry for not understanding ) So basiclly I want them to say what they are named so "A, B, C" blah blah blah.


void OnStart ()
{
SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback("LookA", "MessageAppear", false);
SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback("LookB", "MessageAppear", false);
SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback("LookC", "MessageAppear", false);
SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback("LookD", "MessageAppear", false);
SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback("LookE", "MessageAppear", false);
SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback("LookF", "MessageAppear", false);
SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback("LookG", "MessageAppear", false);
SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback("LookH", "MessageAppear", false);
SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback("LookI-J", "MessageAppear", false);
SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback("LookK", "MessageAppear", false);
SetEntityPlayerLookAtCallback("LookM", "MessageAppear", false);
}
void MessageAppear(string &in asEntity, int alState)
{
SetMessage("Message", "MessageEntry", 0); //Change 0 to how long you want the message to appear. 0 means it will count how many strings it have and calculate the time.
}
