PLEEAASEE HELP?

Alright, Hello.



I love playing custom stories, so I decided to make one. After making a room and a door. I made a key. Now, in my HPS file ther is this script:

Is there anything wrog with it?



////////////////////////////

// Run first time starting map

void OnStart ()

{



}



////////////////////////////

// Run when entering map

void OnEnter()

{ AddUseItemCallback("", "IronKey_1", "mansion_1", "KeyOnDoor",

true);



}



void KeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)



{



SetSwingDoorLocked("mansion_1"­, false, true); PlaySoundAtEntity("",

"unlock_door", "mansion_1", 1, false); RemoveItem("IronKey_1");



}

///////////////////////////

// Run when leaving map

voin OnLeave

{



}



Also,

When i put the Door_frame02, its invisible. If i click on it i can see the outline and i can move it.

*Note*



I also havent gotten to test my map since i cant start it because of the scripting problem

Error is like this

FATAL ERROR: Could not load script file 'custom_stories/AirmanerX Custom Story/maps/00_firsttryairmaner.hps'!
main (27,1) : ERR : Expected '('
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

RE: PLEEAASEE HELP?

AddUseItemCallback("", "IronKey_1", "mansion_1", "KeyOnDoor", true)


Put that inside the
OnStart()
===============
Also
SetSwingDoorLocked("mansion_1"­, false, true); PlaySoundAtEntity("",

"unlock_door", "mansion_1", 1, false); RemoveItem("IronKey_1");

CHANGE IT TO THIS
SetSwingDoorLocked("mansion_1"­, false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "mansion_1", 1, false);
RemoveItem("IronKey_1");
=====================
Try not to space everything out. (I am not sure if that was a glitch with copying and pasting)
Put the script functions into these
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("mansion_1"­, false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "mansion_1", 1, false);
RemoveItem("IronKey_1");
}

void OnStart()

{
AddUseItemCallback("", "IronKey_1", "mansion_1", "KeyOnDoor",true);
}

RE: PLEEAASEE HELP?

you should read more up on scripting and maybe watch some videos on the wiki site to understand scripting more. If you just want to use a key on a door you would need a script like this

Spoiler below!

void OnStart()
{
/// use "castle_key_1" on "castle_door_1" door => calls "KeyOnDoor1"
AddUseItemCallback("", "castle_key_1", "castle_door_1", "KeyOnDoor1", true);
}

////Open Doors
void KeyOnDoor1(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked("castle_door_1", false, true);
RemoveItem("castle_key_1");
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door.snt", "castle_door_1", 0.0f, true);
}

//Entering map\\
void OnEnter()
{
}

//Leaving map\\
void OnLeave()
{
}


if you use this as your new hps and call the key for castle_key_1 and the door for castle_door_1 or change it for what you have, it should work and not crash anymore.

Now, go watch some videos Smile

Thanks
The thing is, I changed all Castle Door and Key names into my key and door names (IronKey_1) and mansion_1
Also, in my extra_english.lang file (some guy told me to do that) it says

<LANGUAGE>
<CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMain">
<Entry Name="Description">This is my first try at a custom story. I have no experience at at all.[br]Please send me feedback at airmanerx@live.com.[br] http://www.youtube.com/user/AirmanerX</Entry&gt;
</CATEGORY>
<CATEGORY Name="Inventory"?
<Entry Name="ItemName_IronKey_1">Iron Key</Entry>
<Entry Name="ItemDesc_IronKey_1">Put it in THAT door. Yes, THAT one.</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
</LANGUAGE>
This is correct, right?
Sorry, i dont understand scripting at all. Its like alien science to me. If you have any videos to explain it, id watch them but probbaly not learn anything anyway.

RE: PLEEAASEE HELP?

Make sure that the subset name in the Level Editor for that key is corresponding with the one in the extra lang

RE: PLEEAASEE HELP?

http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/amn..._functions

Favorite it in your browser and check out the tutorials there.

EDIT: also if you want the key to display what you put in the extra_english you must first click on the key in the leveleditor. go to entity, then in the customsubitemtypename and write in IronKey_1. so when you pick it up it should properly show name/desc.

The doorframe thats invisible, you sure its just not faceing the wrong way? try rotating it.

You would add another Function in the OnStart.



Like So
void OnStart
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "Blah", "Blah", false, 1);

AddUseItemCallback("", "Key", "Blah", "Blah", true);

AddUseItemCallback("", "Key", "Blah", "Blah", true);

}

Then you add another on of the script functions thingys. Directly under the OnStart Section



void blah(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetLampLit("candlestick_floor_18", true, false);
}


void blah(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
SetLevelDoorLocked("Blah", false);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "Player", 0, false);
RemoveItem("Key");

}


void blah(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{

SetSwingDoorLocked("blah", false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "Player", 0, false);
RemoveItem("blah");
}

Check the "Active" box under the name of it

Sorry, not Door Frame. Door Way.
Check if you have any map_cache files hiding around in your custom story folder.
If so delete and try again with the test.
