Jens! Could you reveal more HPL2 triggers?

o.o Hmm, it looks to me that the item that is being picked up is being set to the global string var, not the type.

Oh, you're right. While that's even weirder, then I guess that asType is just keeping track of exactly what happens to the entity.

But the "asType" parameter is just set to the type of interaction that the player had with the object - similar to the "alState" parameter from the AddEntityCollideCallback function. It's useful in some circumstances, if you want to do something like

PHP Code: (Select All)

if(asType == "onIgnite") { /*Do stuff*/ } 


and so you would be able to do certain things depending on what the player does with a certain object (in this case, if the player ignites the object, a certain action or set of actions are called).

Yes, but nowhere is it explained exactly what type of interaction triggers what type. We covered when picking it up, when it breaks, and when it's set on fire. Then there's this "etc".
What other things can you do to it that will register (and thus be able to influence a script)?
