== Areas ==

This page lists the type of areas available in [[:hpl2:amnesia:start|Amnesia]], and what they do.

* '''Script''': Trigger's a script when an object (like the player) looks at it, collides with it or interacts with it.
* '''PosNode''': This is used in combination with Rope areas, to show where the rope ends.
* '''Flashback''': Trigger's a flashback sequence.
* '''Sign''': Displays text when the user looks at it.
* '''SlimeDamage''': A damage area for the red slime (The Shadow).
* '''Examine''': This gives an area a description when it is examined. Also allows for different descriptions depending on the player's sanity.
* '''Insanity''': It can trigger sanity events repeatedly depending on your current sanity level (Note: this area doesn't have any callback functions, so if you need to do a complex sanity event use the script area). These sanity events include bugs crawling the screen, flies flying around, and insanity sounds. Check "redist > misc > main_sanity_events.cfg" for more information.
* '''Ladder''': This area defines where a ladder is (Note: This is not the actual ladder players will see in the game, but just the area that lets them climb. Make sure you add a ladder model or the players will be climbing on air. Also make sure to keep the area a bit away from the ladder's model otherwise it won't work).
* '''Liquid''': This area defines where water is (Note: Just like the ladder this doesn't have the actual water effect associated with it).
* '''Sticky''': A sticky area is used to make entities "stick". When an entity is in contact with the area, it will automatically snap to the center of the area. There are several options for tweaking the behavior.
* '''Rope''': Create's a rope. For more information on what this does see [[:hpl2:amnesia:start|How to Make a Rope]].
* '''PathNode''': Guide's enemy monsters around the map.
* '''PlayerStart''': Player checkpoints (like where the player should spawn when entering the level or after he died).

-Used for enemy navigation and patrolling around the map. They can guide the enemies so they can avoid obstacles, climb stairs and over objects, do not get stuck on walls or corners, and can wander around more freely. See [[HPL2/TDD/Entities/Enemies|Enemies]].

 ==Flashback==
-These trigger flashbacks when the player collides with them. Shows a white flash on the screen when a flashback starts and ends. When a flashback is active, radial blur is applied and the player's movement speed is slowed down (60% by default). These properties are defined in the Player_General section of game.cfg. Additionally, darkness sanity drain is disabled, the lantern does not use oil, and enemies ignore the player when a flashback is active.

 Gives minor damage to the player when they collide with it. Used for the Guardian/Shadow flesh damage. Collision is only checked for at randomized intervals: 2 to 5 seconds by default. This value is re-rolled each time the interval ends, so the player only receives damage if they're colliding with the area on one of those intervals.
-As of version 1.5, multiple slime types can be used, defined in game.cfg. It specifies the sounds and particles played, range of damage dealt, and amount of screen shake applied.

 ==Examine==
-Displays a message on screen when interacted with by the player, similar to the <code>SetMessage</code> script function. Supposed to display a different message if the player's sanity is below a threshold defined in game.cfg (default 50), yet this doesn't work due to the game reading the MaxExamineSanity value from Player_Interaction when it's actually under Insanity. This can be worked around by moving the property to Player_Interaction.

 ==Insanity==
-Plays a random insanity event when the player collides with it, if their sanity doesn't exceed the value of MaxSanity_LongWait in the Insanity section of game.cfg (default 65). Each individual event has a MaxSanity value, above which the event cannot occur. There is a wait time between events, the exact amount depending on the player's current sanity, configured in the Insanity section of game.cfg. Insanity events do not repeat until all events have been played. See [[HPL2/TDD/main sanity events.cfg|main_sanity_events.cfg]] for more information on insanity events and their properties.

 Similar to SlimeDamage areas, Insanity areas check for collision at random intervals. This is determined by the InsanityArea_CheckTimeMin and InsanityArea_CheckTimeMax properties in the Insanity section of game.cfg (default 1 to 15 seconds).
