MessageReceiveCallback

[MrIslomaniac]

Hey mates

MessageReceiveCallback does not seem to work with an entity Loaded from a file!

Anyone experienced that as well? Or maybe found a solution?

I would be happy to hear one

 

Cya

TEntity Cube = LoadModel("abstract::tree.gmf");
SetEntityCallback(Cube,(byte*)MessageReceiveCallback,ENTITYCALLBACK_MESSAGERECEIVE);

And
void _stdcall MessageReceiveCallback( TEntity entity, str message, byte* extra ) 
{
char str[256];
sprintf(str, "%d got a message. Message name: \"%s\"", (int)entity, message);
MessageBox(0, str, "MessageReceiveCallback called", 0);
}

It does work correctly if i don't load the file but use CreateCube(0);

shouldn't you be using TModel name = ?

 

Then EntityType(name, 1)

I don't know if that will make a difference on your messages or not.

Nope that does not help =( Thanks anyway

P.S. i did not put the whole code in here:

8code]

TModel Cube = LoadModel("abstract::oldtree.gmf");

SetEntityKey(Cube,"Health","100");

EntityColor(Cube,Vec4(1,1,1,255));

ScaleEntity(Cube,Vec3(1,5,1));

PositionEntity(Cube,Vec3(x,y-1.25,z));

EntityType(Cube,1);

SetEntityCallback(Cube,(byte*)MessageReceiveCallback,ENTITYCALLBACK_MESSAGERECEIVE);

[/code]

Where are you sending the message to the entity? Can we see that code?

Where are you sending the message to the entity? Can we see that code?

 

if (KeyHit(KEY_E)==1){
if((CameraPick(&pick, cam,Vec3(GraphicsWidth()/2,GraphicsHeight()/2,1),50))!= NULL){
	SendEntityMessage(pick.entity, "Open");
}
}

pick.entity from what I remember returns the mesh not the model. Try GetParent(pick.entity), or it's the other way around. Anyway, it has to do with that. A better test would be to step through the code and see what value your model returns after you load it, and then see what value pick.entity returns and what value GetParent(pick.entity) returns.

[MrIslomaniac]

GetParent(pick.entity) did it =) never thought of that xD

Thank you Rick

Good call Rick... That's what we keep you around for.
