[HELP] Amnesia Custom Story - Player falling through floor

Hey guys ! :)

I'm new here and I need help.


I'm trying to make my own custom story for amnesia but I am encountering an error... Each time I try to launch the map, instead of respawning, my playing keeps falling through the floor.

I searched on a lot of websites and forums but I can't fix this problem.

Any thoughts ?


Thanks,


Kevin.

Did you even make a floor on your amnesia custom story?
If you did, then try to set your spawn point a little bit higher above the floor.

Yes I did.

I tried to set my spawn point into the floor, a little bit high above the floor, and even just underneath the ceiling.

Nothing changes, I am still falling through the floor. It really pisses me off :(
What are you using as a floor?
A primitive plane with the "mansionbase" material. It's Y position is 0 and I ticked the "collides" box.

Don't use materials. Go static objects, mansionbase and get the texture from there.

(Note: Do this within the primitive plane load thing)

This is exactly what I did but it does not work...

I clicked primitive, then I loaded the floor texture in static objects, mansionbase, as you said.

I am at work, I'll give it another try this evening.

Don't know what could be wrong. If it doesn't work, take a screenshot with the properties selected and post it here.

I dont know either what's wrong...

I'll post a screenshot this evening.

I am so motivated to create my own custom story. Being stuck at the beginning is really frustrating u_u

Thanks for helping :-)

In the custom_story_settings.cfg file, have you set the StartPos = "PlayerStartArea_1" to the correct name of your spawn?

Sorry for double post..

Yes I did. My spawn point name is "PlayerStartArea_1" and in my custom_story_settings.cfg I have written StartPos = "PlayerStartArea_1".

Neither do I... I already tried to create a new plane and nothing changed, still falling through the f###ing floor :(

Just a quick note, this is only a resolve, not a solution so if you run into this again towards the end of your project during testing youll be really pissed you didnt find a way to fix it earlier.

Hey guys it's me again !

I prefer using this topic to discuss my other amnesia custom story issues rather than creating a new one.


Basically, what I want to do is to create sort of a flashback when my character enters a specific area of the map. The screen would blink a couple of times, then the character would look towards an object (to a table which is on his right) and a text would show up on the middle of the screen.


I created a flashback.flash file in which I wrote the following:

PHP Source code

1
2
3
4
5
<Flashback>
    <Voices>
        <Voice VoiceSound="" EffectSound="" TextCat="Flashbacks" TextEntry="Sleeping_Room1" />
    </Voices>
</Flashback>


I know Voicesound and EffectSound are empty, this is because I have not created any sounds yet.

In my extra_english.lang file I have:

PHP Source code

1
2
3
<CATEGORY Name="Flashbacks">
        <Entry Name="Sleeping_Room1">Everything is in a messI can not remember what happenned last night... Ohwait... Is this blood on the table ?</Entry>
    </CATEGORY>



The screen blinks but I can't get the text to show up on screen. I don't understand what I have done wrong... For the turning of the head, I'll search how to do it later.

By the way, my flashbacks.flash is located in c:/program files (x86)/steam/steamapps/common/Amnesia The Dark Descent/flashbacks

I think I know the problem/solution

When you started creating your first map, did you first build around the blue circle in the middle?

If you didn't, then that's why you fell through the floor. I had the same problem with my first ever map, but then I tried again and built a floor covering the blue circle in the middle. Now I don't fall through.

If you did build a floor on top of it before anything else, I don't know why that happened. I hope it doesn't happen again.

:D
