HPL2/Engine Scripts

This page documents all scripts available in Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

Note: Some of the functions require the Amnesia 1.3 or 1.5 update. Steam and other online store copies should be automatically updated. Other copies can get 1.3 here.

Directives

First off, #include "file.hps" can be used to programmatically merge together multiple separate files to make organizing scripts easier.

Requires version 1.5

Engine scripts

Main

The following functions are the main hps functions that the HPL2 engine looks to run on certain events - similar to the C++ int main() function.

void OnStart();

The function that runs when the map is loaded for the first time.

void OnEnter();

The function that runs whenever the player enters a map.

void OnLeave();

The function that runs when the player leaves a map.

void OnGameStart();

This function is found in the global.hps file and the inventory.hps file, and is run when the game is first started by the player (ie via "Start New Game").

void OnUpdate(float afStep);

Requires version 1.5

This function is executed for every game update or "tick". Can be used for rapid-firing updates instead of looping timers. Keep in mind that this can affect game performance if not used with care.

afStep- time elapsed since the last frame. Multiply speeds, distances etc. by this argument to avoid framerate dependence issues (for example: if you move something in this function with constant speed, it will move faster on computers which run the game with high FPS and slower on computers with low FPS).

General

float RandFloat(float afMin, float afMax);

Generates a random float.

afMin - minimum value
afMax - maximum value

int RandInt(int alMin, int alMax);

Generates a random int. Note: the maximum value is inclusive - the RandInt() function may return this value.

alMin - minimum value
alMax - maximum value

bool StringContains(string& asString, string& asSubString);

Checks whether a string contains the specified string.
Example: searching for "hello" in "hello world" would return true.

asString - the string to check
asSubString - the string to search for

string& StringSub(string& asString, int alStart, int alCount);

Returns the substring in a string.
Example: in the string "frictional games rocks", using 4 as alStart and 6 as alCount would return "tional".

asString - the string
alStart - start position in the string
alCount - amount of characters

int StringToInt(string&in asString);

Requires version 1.3

If possible, returns an integer converted from a string, else returns 0.

asString - String to convert.

void ProgLog(string& asLevel, string& asMessage);

Prints an entry to the ProgLog (progression log).
ProgLog is a file created in Documents/Amnesia/main (or an FC folder if one is being used). It logs certain events, such us opening the menu or picking up the lantern, as well as the player's state (Health, Sanity, Oil, Tinderboxes, Coins), for the purpose of documenting a tester's playstyle.

This function allows to log custom messages.The messages in the ProgLog file are sorted by time elapsed since a map was loaded.

ProgLog has to be enabled for a player profile in user_settings.cfg before it starts working.

asLevel - can be "Low", "Medium" or "High". It's a tag which appears in each log entry, for event prioritising.
asMessage - The custom message to be printed to the log.

bool ScriptDebugOn();

Checks whether the debug mode is enabled.
See "Setting up Development Environment" to setup debug mode on your own computer.

Variables

Warning: Regular variables (int, float, etc.) are not saved by the game. Using them in important parts of yor script will break it upon loading a game save. In HPL, those variables should only be used for disposable counters, like spawning objects in a "for" loop. For variables which need to be saved, use the wrappers as described below.

Local

Local variables can be used throughout the same script file.

void SetLocalVarInt(string& asName, int alVal);
void AddLocalVarInt(string& asName, int alVal);
int GetLocalVarInt(string& asName);

void SetLocalVarFloat(string& asName, float afVal);
void AddLocalVarFloat(string& asName, float afVal);
float GetLocalVarFloat(string& asName);

void SetLocalVarString(string& asName, const string& asVal);
void AddLocalVarString(string& asName, string& asVal);
string& GetLocalVarString(string& asName);

Global

Global variables can be used throughout several maps and can be accessed by several script files.

void SetGlobalVarInt(string& asName, int alVal);
void AddGlobalVarInt(string& asName, int alVal);
int GetGlobalVarInt(string& asName);

void SetGlobalVarFloat(string& asName, float afVal);
void AddGlobalVarFloat(string& asName, float afVal);

AddAttachedPropToProp(asPropName, asAttachName, asAttachFile, afPosX, afPosY, 0, afPosZ, 90.0f, afPosZ)

Bug: Attaching a breakable prop to a physically active prop, and then breaking the attached prop, will cause the game to crash, should the parent object be moved or reset.

void AddBodyImpulse(string& asName, float afX, float afY, float afZ, string& asCoordSystem);

These functions push objects. Note that rather high values are needed when applying forces (on the order of ~100 (weak) to ~10000 (strong)), but not impulses (values less than 10 can be appropriate). Forces are external influences, and will have different effect depending on the mass of the object they are being applied to; impulses disregard mass, and can cause objects to break, as if hit. A "Body" is a physics-related helper object, to which a force or an impulse can be applied. Entities can consist of several bodies, interconnected in various ways (you can create/examine bodies in the model editor).

asName - the object to push; for bodies, use this format: "entityName_bodyName"
afX - magnitude along the X-axis
afY - magnitude along the Y-axis
afZ - magnitude along the Z-axis
asCoordSystem - determines which coordinate system is used, usually "world" All of these functions are additive - when called consecutively, for each call, the vectors defined by (afX, afY, afZ) will be added together, and a resultant force/impulse will be calculated before any physics simulation is applied to the target object.
