Hey elevenwarrior,

you might check the onProjectileHit from the Projectile component, it might do the trick, as it seems to be calling both the projectile (so you can destroy it ) and the thing it hit ( so you can decrement if it is valid).

is there a "keyPressed" component thing ? Because the "keyDown" fires my functions repeatidly

Just store and check whether the key was down on the previous frame.

Yes, but changing dual wielding rules like this would require a lot of hacks, so I don't recommend it.

Yes.
Look for defineSkill and defineRace in http://www.grimrock.net/modding/scripting-reference/.

I have no idea how to do this, beside delayedcall. but never mind, I will find a way around. I understand your will to have people look around and search by themselves so they can improve, but being a good teacher also means adapting , at least a little bit, to the people you want to instruct.
Not every body is a pro coder, or knows the forum by heart to know exactly where to look for informations.
Again, nevermind.

Really a simple question but it drives me mad:

I want to add a timer component to the party object which starts NOT at the beginning of the game. Cannot find a command to disable it. I am pretty sure it is very obvious but I am unable to figure it out.

Any help, please?

[Azel]

When you declare the Timer, you can't just say, MyPartyTimer.timer:disable() ??

[THOM]

Sadly not.

Ah, and it's not a component to the party, as I mentioned before, but to an object.

That's what I got so far:

Code: Select all

    		{
     			class = "Timer",
      			name = "movetimer",
      			timerInterval = 0.02,
			--timer = "disable",
			--self.go.timer:stop(),
      			onActivate = function(self)
        			self.go.movescript.moveThat()
      			end,
    		},

the two deactivated lines show some of my trials which didn't work...
