[Script/puzzle]Moving button (dexterity puzzle)

[Blichew]

Hi again,

this time I'll write about small puzzle I've created: wall button that moves in a loop. It can be easily extended by adding a few more buttons that has to be stopped in one line or something...

Unlike my last puzzle (memory-like lever game) this is actually location independent (doesn't matter where you place it, I'm using getWorldPosition before setWorldPosition )


0. How it works:

1. Entities:

wall_button - name it dex_button_1
door - name it dex_door
timer - name it dex_timer
floor_trigger - name it dex_trigger
script_entity - name it dex_script

2. Placement:



3. Hooks, connections and Entity-specific settings:

dex_trigger

dex_timer

dex_button_1

4. Script contents:

Code: Select all

dex_button_start = dex_button_1:getWorldPosition()
dex_button_1_x = dex_button_start[1]
dex_button_1_y = dex_button_start[2]
dex_button_1_f = dex_button_start[3]-0.0001 
y_moves = {1,0.95,0.9,0.85,0.8,0.75,0.7,0.65,0.6,0.55,0.5,0.45,0.4,0.35,0.3,0.25,0.2,0.15,0.1,0.05,
			0,
			-0.05,-0.1,-0.15,-0.2,-0.25,-0.3,-0.35,-0.4,-0.45,-0.5,-0.55,-0.6,-0.65,-0.7,-0.75,-0.8,-0.85,-0.9,-0.95,-1}
y_index = 21

function dexTick()
	dex_button_1_y = y_moves[y_index]
	if y_index < #y_moves then
		y_index = y_index + 1
	else
		y_index = 1
	end
	dex_button_1:setWorldPosition(dex_button_1_x,dex_button_1_y,dex_button_1_f,0)
end

function dexStop()
	dex_timer.timer:stop()
	dex_button_1.button:disable()
	dex_trigger.floortrigger:disable()
end

I'd create a custom wall model with rail or something that moving button would look more natural but I'm quite dumb when it comes to editting anything in something more complicated than Ms Paint
