Monster won't spawn after changing script.

[Robosprog]

I created a script that spawns a monster after picking up an item, which worked, however when I made the script to remove an entity it suddenlly stopped spawning the monster. Here's the script:

Quote:void OnStart()
{
AddUseItemCallback("", "house_key", "mansion", "FUNCTION", true);
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("knife", "ActivateMonster", true);
SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("knife", "GruntFade", true);
}

void FUNCTION(string &in item, string &in door)
{
SetSwingDoorLocked(door, false, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", door, 0, false);
RemoveItem(item);
}
void DoorLockedPlayer(string &in entity)


{
if(GetSwingDoorLocked("mansion") == true)
{

SetMessage("Messages", "msgname", 0);

}
}

void ActivateMonster(string &in item)
{
SetEntityActive("servant_grunt_1", true);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_1", 0, "Idle");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_2", 0, "Idle");
AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_3", 0, "Idle");
}

void GruntFade (string &in item)
{
SetEntityActive("grunt", false);
}

Any idea why the monster won't spawn now? (And no, this isn't really a jumpscare so don't jump to conclusions)

If you're going to create interact callbacks for the same item, then keep it all within one callback.

.. *facepalms at own stupidity* I'm a retard.


Tried that, now neither happens.

Rewrote the code because I don't know what you were using as function parameters, but they weren't right. :/

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{

    AddUseItemCallback("", "house_key", "mansion", "FUNCTION", true);

    //Right here is confusing...you activate a monster, and remove another monster??? Or activate/remove the same upon interaction.
    SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("knife", "ActivateMonster", true);
    SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback("knife", "GruntFade", true);
}

//add use item callback parameters are string &in asItem, string &in asEntity
void FUNCTION(string &in asItem, string &in asEntity)
{
    SetSwingDoorLocked(door, false, true);
    PlaySoundAtEntity("", "unlock_door", door, 0, false);
    RemoveItem(asItem);
}

//going to assume this came from an Interact Callback from editor? if so, string &in asEntity
void DoorLockedPlayer(string &in asEntity)
{
    if(GetSwingDoorLocked("mansion") == true)
    {
        SetMessage("Messages", "msgname", 0);
    }
}

//from the OnStart() function, string &in asEntity as it's an Interact Callback
void ActivateMonster(string &in asEntity)
{
    SetEntityActive("servant_grunt_1", true);
    AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_1", 0, "Idle");
    AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_2", 0, "Idle");
    AddEnemyPatrolNode("servant_grunt_1", "PathNodeArea_3", 0, "Idle");
}

//same as above, I'm assuming there's another grunt on the map called "grunt" and it's being removed with this function.
void GruntFade(string &in asEntity)
{
    SetEntityActive("grunt", false);
}

Yeah, I probably should have explained it for you - I'm not removing another grunt but the chest and head piece of the dead grunt. Making that vanish to give the impression of it "coming alive".
Right, using this code with a tiny amount of editing on the key and door as that messed up and wouldn't let me load, it just leads to the same result as the first time.
