Engine scripts

A list of script functions available in A Machine For Pigs (that are not present in The Dark Descent). Many of TDD's scripts are available in AMFP, but not all. Some are replaced by ones listed below, and others are removed.

Note icon.png NOTE: This page is partially incomplete. Some arguments for the functions listed here have unknown effects. If you wish to contribute, feel free to test them. It's also possible there are additional script functions not listed here that exist within the engine.

General

void CheckPoint(string@& asName, string@& asStartArea, string@& asFunction, string@& asTextCat, string@& asTextEntry, const bool abPlayerLimbo);

Creates a check point where the player will respawn if they die. Callback syntax:void MyFunc(string &in asName, int alCount) This function replaces TDD's CheckPoint().

  1. asName - The internal name of the callback
  2. asStartArea - The name of the PlayerStartArea to respawn at
  3. asFunction - The name of the callback function to run
  4. asTextCat - The name of the .lang file category (SEEMS UNUSED)
  5. asTextEntry - The name of the .lang file entry (SEEMS UNUSED)
  6. abPlayerLimbo - Whether to put the player into a state of "limbo" upon death. In limbo, the death occurs normally, but once the screen fades to black, it remains so until ReleasePlayerFromLimbo() is called. Player is still controllable during death.
void ReleasePlayerFromLimbo();

Respawns the player if stuck in "limbo". Limbo can be enabled with CheckPoint. Limbo is the state between life and death. The player enters limbo upon dying but won't respawn until this function is called. 

void PlayScriptedAnimation(string@& asEntity, string@& asAnimation, const bool abLoop);

Plays an animation that has been added to an entity through the Model Editor. Similar to PlayEnemyAnimation.

  1. asEntity - Internal name of the entity
  2. asAnimation - The animation name inside the entity
  3. abLoop - Whether to loop the animation or play it only once

Screen effects

void ShowScreenImage(string@& asImageFile, int alX, int alY, const float afUnknown1, const bool abUnknown2, const float afDuration, const float afFadeInTime, const float afFadeOutTime);

Shows a 2D image on the screen. Originally used for showing the intro logo during a sequence. See ShowScreenImage() in the ATTD tutorials section for more information.

  1. asImageName - The image file to render (.jpg, .png, .tga, .dds)
  2. afX - The X position of the image
  3. afY - The Y position of the image
  4. afScale - The size of the image in pixels (not scale), or original image size if negative
  5. abUseRelativeCoordinates - Whether X and Y are relative to the screen resoltion, or pixel co-ordinates if not
  6. afDuration - The duration that the image is displayed for
  7. afFadeIn - The time, in seconds, to fade in the image
  8. afFadeOut - The time, in seconds, to fade out the image

Journal

void AddHint(string& asNameAndTextEntry, string@& asImage);

Adds a hint to the player's journal.
This function replaces TDD's AddDiary.

  1. asNameAndTextEntry - The .lang text entry of the hint. The entry must be in category "Journal" and use the format Hint_MyHint_Name for the title and Hint_MyHint_Text for the body, where MyHint replaces the value you put in this argument.
  2. asImage - This argument does not seem to be used. Presumed to be for displaying an image but possibly removed functionality. All existing occurrences are empty.
void SetJournalDisabled(const bool abDisabled);

Disables the player's ability to open their journal.

  1. abDisabled - True to disable, false to enable again

Player

void SetLanternFlickerActive(const bool abActive);

Enables/disables the flicker effect for the lantern's light.

  1. abActive - True to flicker, false to not flicker
void SetPlayerInfection(const float afAmount);

Sets the infection level for the player. Infection replaces sanity from TDD and acts similar, however it goes from 0-100 instead of 100-0. An infection level above approximately 20 will affect the player's ability to move. Infection level above 80 will kill the player. Infection slowly decreases over time, unless high enough.
This function replaces TDD's SetPlayerSanity.

  1. afAmount - The level of infection to set
void AddPlayerInfection(const float afAmount);

Adds an amount of infection to the player's current amount.
This function replaces TDD's AddPlayerSanity.

  1. afAmount - The amount to add
float GetPlayerInfection();

Returns the amount of infection the player currently has.
This function replaces TDD's GetPlayerSanity. 

void FadePlayerPitchTo(const float afPitch, const float afDeaccelleration, const float afSpeed);

Moves the player's pitch (up and down rotation).

  1. afPitch - The target pitch to move towards. 0 = straight forward. Clamped to range: -70 to +70.
  2. afDeaccelleration - The deaccelleration when nearing the target pitch. A low value makes a slow change.
  3. afSpeed - The speed of the movement. Speed is affected by deaccelleration.
void SetPlayerUsesDragFootsteps(const bool abX);

Sets whether the player's footstep sounds are replaced with "drag" versions. Some surface materials do not have drag steps, and will therefore play no footstep sounds.

  1. abX - Whether to use "drag" step sounds

Entities

void SetPhysicsAutoDisable(string@& asEntity, const bool abDisabled);

Does… something. Not immediately apparent. Is only used on chandeliers in the campaign.

  2. afOpenAmount - The new amount state to set. Range: 0 - 1
  3. afTime - The time in seconds until the door has changed state
  4. abUnknown - Unsure what this does. If set to true, nothing happens (?), so use false.
void FadeLampTo(string@& asEntity, const uint alR, const uint alG, const uint alB, const uint alA, int alRadius, const double afTime);

Fades a Lamp-type entity's light to another color. This function uses integers for color values instead of floats, which is a little odd. Likewise, it uses a double floating point for the last argument instead of a regular one.

Enemies

void AddEnemyPatrolNode(string@& asEnemy, string@& asPathNode, const float afWaitTime, string@& asAnimation, const bool abUnknown);

Adds a patrol node to the enemy's walking path. A path is restarted from the beginning when the final node is reached. Note: Inputting an invalid animation in asAnimation at the final node will make the enemy wait there indefinitely.
This function replaces TDD's AddEnemyPatrolNode.

  1. asEnemy - The name of the enemy
  2. asPathNode - Internal name of path node
  3. afWaitTime - The time, in seconds, the enemy waits at this node before continuing. Note: A time of 0.0f does not seem to skip waiting, use 0.01f instead if you want the enemy to immediately continue to the next node.
  4. asAnimation - The animation to play on the enemy when they arrive at this path node. Animations can be found in the Model Editor. Leave empty to play no special animation (uses default Idle animation). Note: If the animation lasts longer than afWaitTime, the enemy waits until the animation is complete before continuing the path.
  5. abUnknown - Unknown variable. Only false is ever used in the campaign. If set to true, seems to affect how animations are played, however they seem to just stutter or loop.
void SetEnemyMoveType(string@& asEnemy, string@& asMoveType);

Changes how an enemy moves.

  1. asEnemy - The name of the enemy
  2. asMoveType - The type to change to. Type can be "WalkBiped", "RunBiped", "ChargeBiped", "Idle"
void SetManPigType(string@& asEnemy, string@& asType);

Sets the type for a ManPig enemy. It is unknown whether this function does anything or if it's just left over from an earlier state of the game. Only "Freddy" is used as the type, but supposedly it should also accept "Rod" and "Jane".

  1. asEnemy - The ManPig enemy.
  2. asType - The type to set. Type can be "Freddy", "Rod", "Jane"

The three types allegedly describe three different personality types for the AI, according to Peter Howell in his PhD, section 7.4.4.

Extract:

The initial design of the game’s enemy artificial intelligence system contained three unique sets of behavioural controls. There was only one visual enemy style, however every enemy agent in the game would be assigned one of three possible ‘personalities’, referred to in the game’s code as the ‘Rod’, ‘Jane’ and ‘Freddy’ personality types. These personalities each had a different set of behavioural rules, thus allowing enemy agents that may otherwise appear identical to behave very differently to one another.

Enemy Agent Personality Type
Rod – Will maintain a 'safe' distance to the player-character.
– unable to do so, will approach player character, investigate them (by getting close and smelling them), before continuing its patrol.
Jane – Will maintain a ‘safe’ distance from player-character, whilst observing the player-character’s movements.
– If unable to maintain ‘safe’ distance, will panic and flee.
– If cornered and unable to flee, will attack and knock player-character to floor, then flee.
– Will only attack and kill player-character as a last resort.
Freddy – Will actively hunt the player-character.
– Will attack and kill them if given the opportunity. 
void PlayEnemyAnimation(string@& asEnemy, string@& asAnimation, const bool abLoop, const float afDelay);

Plays a specific animation for an enemy.

  1. asEnemy - Internal name of the enemy (asterisk is allowed)
  2. asAnimation - The name of an animation registered to the enemy
  3. abLoop - Whether the animation loops
  4. afDelay - Seems to affect how the animation plays out. A higher value makes the animation slower, although it seems to also skip some keyframes or perhaps merge them, making the animation look incorrect. Experiment to see what works based on the animation.
void ChangeEnemyPose(string@& asEnemy, string@& asPose);

Changes the pose for an enemy. Can be either "Biped" or "Quadruped".

  1. asEnemy - Internal name of the enemy
  2. asPose - The pose to change to
void ForceEnemyWaitState(string@& asEnemy);

Forces the enemy's AI to change the state to "Wait" which makes the enemy wait for a short while before continuing its' normal actions. An enemy without patrol nodes defaults to the "Wait" state. Otherwise, if patrol nodes are added, the enemy will continue the path after waiting is done.

  1. asEnemy - Internal name of the enemy
void SetEnemyBlind(string@& asEnemy, const bool abX);

Sets whether the enemy can see the player if they are within visible range.

  1. asEnemy - Internal name of the enemy
  2. abX - Whether enemy is blind
void SetEnemyDeaf(string@& asEnemy, const bool abX);

Sets whether the enemy can hear the player make sound if they are within audible range.

  1. asEnemy - Internal name of the enemy
  2. abX - Whether enemy is deaf
bool GetPlayerCanSeeEnemy(string@& asEnemy);

Returns whether the enemy is within visible range of the player.

  1. asEnemy - Internal name of the enemy
float GetEnemyPlayerDistance(string@& asEnemy);

Returns the distance (in HPL units) between the enemy and the player.

  1. asEnemy - Internal name of the enemy

Particles

void SetParticleSystemActive(string@& asParticleSystem, const bool abActive);

Pauses a particle system in its current frame. The paused particle system remains frozen at this frame until reactivated or destroyed.

  1. asParticleSystem - The name of the particle system
  2. abActive - False to pause, true to unpause
void DestroyParticleSystemInstantly(string@& asParticleSystem);

Destroys a particle system and any existing particles already emitted from it. Similar to DestroyParticleSystem, except that one will not destroy the existing particles and rather let them live out their lives. This function will cut all particles' lives short.

  1. asParticleSystem - The PS to destroy
