<h1>Adding messages to a locked door</h1> <div class="level1"> <p> Hey, in this tutorial me, ClayPigeon, will teach you how to add a message to a locked door. </p> <p> What does this means? That means that when a player tries to open a locked door, it will show a message on the screen telling him it's locked, or will give the player a hint on where the key is. </p> </div> <h1>The message</h1> <div class="level1"> <p> First of all, open up your extra_english.lang file, and add this: </p> <p> &lt;CATEGORY Name="Messages"> </p> <p> &lt;Entry Name ="msgname">TYPE MESSAGE HERE&lt;/Entry> </p> <p> &lt;/CATEGORY> </p> <p> msgname - The name that will be called via the script and present the message TYPE MESSAGE HERE. </p> <p> TYPE MESSAGE HERE - The actual text that will be presented. It can be anything, for example: The door is locked, and the key is behind the cabinet. </p> <p> The door </p> <p> Open up your map with your level editor, and add a door wherever you want. </p> <p> Select the door using the Select tool(1), and go to the Entity tab. (Next to general). </p> <p> Tick the 'Locked' box to make the door locked, and on the PlayerInteractCallback write whatever name of function you want. </p> <p> I'll call it DoorLockedPlayer. </p> <p> If you want the message to show only once, tick the PlayerInteractCallbackAutoRemove box. </p> <p> <a href="/lib/exe/fetch.php?tok=0e17ad&media=http%3A%2F%2Fi.minus.com%2FjpUd9nK0ok06o.png" class="media" title="http://i.minus.com/jpUd9nK0ok06o.png"><img src="/lib/exe/fetch.php?tok=0e17ad&media=http%3A%2F%2Fi.minus.com%2FjpUd9nK0ok06o.png" class="media" alt="" /></a> </p> <p> <a href="/lib/exe/fetch.php?tok=442674&media=http%3A%2F%2Fimageupload.org%2Fgetfile.php%3Fid%3D200699%26a%3Dd5244704ce59744641824ae7dd2b5b6d%26t%3D4f61cdf2%26o%3DAC0BF90318D823A4C9DFEAD5F753784D3DE049B004B62458A1BFA2DFF210D8CF55B117E40304%26n%3Dwiki.png%26i%3D1" class="media mediafile mf_png_i_1" title="http://imageupload.org/getfile.php?id=200699&a=d5244704ce59744641824ae7dd2b5b6d&t=4f61cdf2&o=AC0BF90318D823A4C9DFEAD5F753784D3DE049B004B62458A1BFA2DFF210D8CF55B117E40304&n=wiki.png&i=1">getfile.php?id=200699&a=d5244704ce59744641824ae7dd2b5b6d&t=4f61cdf2&o=AC0BF90318D823A4C9DFEAD5F753784D3DE049B004B62458A1BFA2DFF210D8CF55B117E40304&n=wiki.png&i=1</a> </p> </div> <h1>The script</h1> <div class="level1"> <p> Open up your mapname.hps that is on your AmnesiaFolder/redist/custom_stories/yourstory/maps, with notepad++ or whatever editor that fits for you, and now write this under the last '}' you see on the text: </p> <p> void DoorLockedPlayer(string &in entity) </p> <p> { </p> <p> SetMessage("Messages", "msgname", 0); </p> <p> } </p> <p> Now step by step: </p> <p> void DoorLockedPlayer - this is the function that is called when the player interacts with the door (the one you've set in your level editor!) </p> <p> "Messages" - that is the &lt;CATEGORY> name in your extra_english.lang file, DO NOT change this! </p> <p> "msgname" - this is the name of the message we've set earlier, remember? </p> <p> Now the message will display when the player is trying to open the door! </p> <p> PM me for any help, my forum account: ClayPigeon. </p> </div>
