Repeatable script

[tklamka]

Can anyone tell me the command which i use when i want to make a script repeatable ? Eg. a player runs into a trap and it kills him, and i want the trap script to reset upon the respawn of the player, so everytime he touches it, everytime he dies, even after respawning.

You have to make a checkpoint.

CheckPoint ("internal_name", string& asStartPos, "respawnfunc", string& asDeathHintCat, string& asDeathHintEntry);

void respawnfunc(string &in asName, int alCount)
{
//These use the callbacks that you use in void OnStart(), for ex
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "random", true, 1);
}

Put any callbacks you want to be redone there. For the
string& asDeathHintCat, string& asDeathHintEntry parts, you don't have to do those, you can leave them like this: "", "". That's the text you see when you die and respawn, if you do want to change that, look here:

CheckPoint (string& asName, string& asStartPos, string& asCallback, string& asDeathHintCat, string& asDeathHintEntry);
Sets a checkpoint at which the player will respawn in case he dies.
Callback syntax: void MyFunc(string &in asName, int alCount)
Count is 0 on the first checkpoint load!
asName - the internal name
asStartPos - the name of the StartPos in the editor
asCallback - the function to call when the player dies/respawns
asDeathHintCat - the category of the death hint message to be used in the .lang file
asDeathHintEntry - the entry in the .lang file
