OnEnterRegion doesn`t work with animations?

SkinnyODST · Post by **SkinnyODST** » Thu Nov 17, 2016 3:54 am

No matter what I do I can`t seem to get an animation working when I enter a region using the OnEnterRegion function in my LUA. I`m trying this on a world with no other animations.

This is what it looks like, it`s placed right under the FunctionScriptPostLoad

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code]function ScriptPostLoad()

ActivateRegion("animthing")

testfunction = OnEnterRegion(

   function(region, player)

      if IsCharacterHuman(character) then PlayAnimation ("animthang")

      end

   end,

"animthing"

)	   [/code]

animthing = the region that is supposed to trigger the animation

animthang = the animation

I`ve tried a couple different way to set it out like,

PlayAnimation "animthang"

PlayAnimation = "animthang"

and

PlayAnimation = ("animthang") but none have had any effect.
Oh and by the way, I`m trying to animate a rock, "kas2_prop_rock_L"

You're using 'player' in the function call but character for the other thing, they need to be the same.

Try:

Code: Select all

ActivateRegion("animthing")
testfunction = OnEnterRegion(
   function(region, character)
      if IsCharacterHuman(character) then PlayAnimation ("animthang")
      end
   end,
"animthing"
)

I think you need to use some like this:

ActivateRegion("animthing")
testfunction = OnCharacterEnterRegion(
function(region, character)
if IsCharacterHuman(character) then PlayAnimation ("animthang")
end
end,
"animthing"
)

In these functions the arguments needs to coincide.

Hope help you

Still doesn`t work. However I`ve noticed that if I put something after "On" in "testfunction = OnEnterRegion(" such as "testfunction = OnPlayerEnterRegion(" or "testfunction = OnCharacterEnterRegion(", the AI will not spawn, and the anim still won`t play.

Nope, it's only OnEnterRegion, as per the documentation. https://sites.google.com/site/swbf2modt ... ing_system

The function's arguments do need to coincide with their references inside the actual function, though, yes. So for example, this would be correct:

Code: Select all

testfunction = OnEnterRegion(
	function(region, player) -- note the argument `character` matches the argument passed to IsCharacterHuman below
		if IsCharacterHuman(character) then PlayAnimation("animthang")
		end
	end,
	"animthing"
)

Whereas this would be incorrect:

Code: Select all

testfunction = OnEnterRegion(
	function(region, player) -- note the argument `player` does not match the argument passed to IsCharacterHuman below
		if IsCharacterHuman(character) then PlayAnimation("animthang")
		end
	end,
	"animthing"
)
