[CHAOS] Help with Global Var Ints that are not working!

[Radical Batz]

Hey guys it's been a hell long time since I posted something here and I missed you all. But I am trying to learn how to work with global var ints <---------- I'm bad at it

and I tried making something like this, example picking up a rod it will set a global var int

PHP Code: (Select All)

void PickCycleRod(string &in asEntity, string &in asType)
{
    GiveSanityBoostSmall();
    
    //For machine room scare
    SetGlobalVarInt("GlassJarPickedUp", 1);
} 


then made this on start in the level which i'll be enterign after picking up that rod

PHP Code: (Select All)

if(GetGlobalVarInt("GlassJarPickedUp")==1)
    {
        SetEntityActive("glass_container_1", true);
    }
} 


named the entity int he level "glass_container_1" near player start to test it, since it's my first time using global var ints! and guess what?
....

It doesn't work, the entity doesn't appear in the level, maybe I did something wrong or not but do you guys see any problems?

and no Traggey I didn't make the same thread, you might see an older thread with the same title but this one is just help of why it isn't working not the one where I don't understand global var ints!

Firstly, there's two brackets in the last code block. I'm sure it belongs to another function like OnStart, but just sayin', it doesn't have anything to do with this script, so might as well remove it.

Secondly, your script looks fine from what I'm seeing. Can you post the entire script files in Code blocks within spoiler tags? I'm sure I can find the problem for you then.

Have you made sure that the entity you're trying to enable is actually able to do so? It won't work with StaticProp entities. If the game runs without crashing, there are no syntax errors, and from what I can see...

Wait, hang on. Is it because you have it in OnStart instead of OnEnter? If you already entered the level before triggering the variable, it won't check for it again.

If you place it in OnEnter, make sure to also change the variable once it's executed so it won't happen again next time you enter.
