RE: Need help with this scripting.

AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ScriptArea_1", "SetMonsterActive", false, 1);
!
false means that the area wont disappear after use
void SetMonsterActive(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityActive("Monster", true);
}
///////////////
set the monster disabled in the level editor, and it will work!

RE: Need help with this scripting.

Exawolts solution should work just fine. I'd put the AddEntityCollideCallback in void OnStart() instead of void OnEnter() though... maybe that's the problem?

This works great but there's a problem. I need it too work once because if the player unfortunately runs into the area again their screen fades out while the monster is chasing them. Undecided Basically, is it possible to have the area work once until the player dies?

RE: Need help with this scripting.

If I understood your question right, you want to use a part of the callback only once, and the rest allways? If so:
1 option is to make a local variable, which is set 0 in OnStart(), the stuff you want to happen only once gets an if statement to check if the variable is 0, and inside you set the variable 1.

RE: Need help with this scripting.

Make sure the first collision callback gets removed when triggered. Then in the checkpoint callback, you can just add the same collision callback.

RE: Need help with this scripting.

example script:
PHP Code: (Select All)
void OnStart()
 {
  
SetLocalVarInt("YourVariableNameHere"0);

 }
 
void YourFunction(string &in asNameint alCount
 {
 if(
GetLocalVarInt("YourVariableNameHere")==0)
 {
 
SetLocalVarInt("YourVariableNameHere"1);

 
//and stuff you want to happen only once comes here
 
}
 
//stuff you want to happen allways comes here
 

void YourFunction is the Function that comes from your Checkpoint callback.

RE: Need help with this scripting.

As I said, there are multiple ways. A variable is 1 way, another callback is the other. There are most likely more.
