How do you reset items after death?

[GrAVit]

Hey, I'm trying to figure out how to reset items after you die. I have a checkpoint set up, and I'm trying to use

Code: (Select All)

SetEntityActive("key_study_1", true);

without success so far.

I've managed to reset doors with

Code: (Select All)

ResetProp("mansion_1")

and monsters with SetEntityActive.

Any help on the matter? I want my key to be active, not set active from an unactive state.

Thought this was in Development Support?

Yeah nevermind, looks like I forgot to post it in the correct sub-forum.

For the "CheckPoint (string& asName, string& asStartPos, string& asCallback, string& asDeathHintCat, string& asDeathHintEntry);" --- When it calls the function on death/respawn, have it do some bool checks.

Try a "bool HasItem(string& asName);" --- If false, give the specific item you want. If they already have it, do nothing.

Hope that helps.

Yeah but I'd like the item to reset on the map, like I never even picked it up. The danger of death appears only after one picks up the key. I know how to get rid of it in the inventory aswell.

Oh, I misunderstood.

The "ResetProp(string& asName);" should work for the key right?

And if you picked the Key up, just do a bool again and check for it in your Inventory and remove it if its true.

Nah, ResetProp doesn't work for items.
