Area Problems

[house]

Something wrong with my areas. They won't do what they are supposed to do. :( I really need them to do what they do. Can anyone find out why they won't work? The ones that don't work are a area that triggers a monster and the area that triggers the player to teleport. Theres two areas that teleport you. Those are the only ones not working. Plus, they are the only ones not working. This is whats in the .hps file of my map:

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
    AddUseItemCallback("UnlockDoor", "key_study_1", "mansion_1", "UsedKeyOnDoor", false);
    
    AutoSave();
    
    GiveHint("", "Messages", "Hint_3", 4.5f);
    
    AddQuest("Door02", "Door02");
    
    SetMapDisplayNameEntry("Hallway");
    
    SetDeathHint("Messages", "Death_Hint_1");
    
    AddQuest("Door02", "Door02");

Looks like you forgot a semicolon after 'CompleteQuest("Door02","Door02")'

If that doesn't fix it, try removing the 'END' comment. Sometimes, script and code can be sensitive to where the end of file is, so I usually leave an open line as the very last line as such files.

Hmm let be try that.
I did both of what you said. It didn't work. Just edited the code box too with what you said.

You are still missing the semicolon.

Code: (Select All)

void UsedKeyOnDoor(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
    SetSwingDoorLocked("mansion_1", false, true);
    
    PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", "mansion_1", 0, false);
    RemoveItem("key_study_1");
    AutoSave();
    PlayMusic("04_puzzle_acid.ogg", false, 0.7f, 0, 10, false);
    GiveSanityBoostSmall();
    CompleteQuest("Door02", "Door02") <----------------------------
}

Oh I see. I forgot what a semicolon was. Let me try this. Edit: That didn't work either.

Is the error message still the same?

Yes. The error message will always be the same. Edit: Well, maybe.

Code: (Select All)

void CollidePlayerTeleport()
{
   TeleportPlayer("PlayerStartArea_2); <---- Closing double quote is missing
   FadeOut(0);
   FadeIn(20);
   SetMessage("Messages", "Player_1", 5.0f);
}

Thanks! It works now! But I now have problems with the areas. The area to trigger the monster isn't working and the teleport areas aren't working. Any reason why? Look at the code if you have to. I really need them to work for my level. Edit: now I changed the fourm to Area Problems

Your collide callbacks need 3 parameters:
- string &in asParent
- string &in asChild
- int alState

so for example:
void CollidePlayerTeleport()

should be:
void CollidePlayerTeleport(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)

I am not 100% sure now, but I think the hpl.log file should warn about this kind of stuff when not finding a function. So everytime you run into this sort of problems you might be able to know what's going on by looking in there.
