I'm not sure this will resolve the problem.

my condition works. If you do spawn it twice, you got directly a game crash. And it wasn't spawned twice, or the game would have crashed while I entered this level, exited it and come again from another entry.

Beside, I couldn't even re-trigger it, because I use invisible floor trigger, that auto destroy itself after use.

Here all was spawned, I play a few hours in other level, then save, then reload the next day, and I got the error mesage.
The error didn't even come from the level I was.

Could it be that spawning chest and making mimic of them is bad after the mod is loaded?
I mean, maybe all mimic has to be set at the first loading, chest placed in the editor?

If you could upload a savegame, we could look at it with the LoG2 savegame editor.
There must be a reference to LVL13chest_57 somewhere in the savegame.
We just need to find out where...

here is the savegame:

How can you search something in the savegame editor? I didn't find any option to search.

[bongobeat]

Extremely unlikely. The items being stacked just means that a number in the ItemComponent is 3 instead of 1. A stack of 5000 bombs is still a single fire_bomb object with a single ItemComponent.

Mind you, my guess is also extremely unlikely (there are mimic chests with multiple items in Isle of Nex and we certainly would've heard of it if this ever happened there), which is why I suspect the pasted code doesn't provide the full story. For example, you could easily cause this error with a bad onRemoveItem hook.

I searched the chest id in the dungeon lua, and didn't find anything, then I did a search within the mod folder, nothing, except the lines I have already paste.

This is the full lines corresponding to this level:
I got it activated with a floor_trigger, connected to an external script, which search the file in the scripts folder. The file is called "level_not_directly_spawned.lua"

So I finally got around to registering to these forums because I can't sleep, and then ran into a stupid question that is now driving me crazy. After browsing through some of the Grimrock 2 mod asset pack files out of curiosity.

Enemy Immunity question: Meaning of ONLY Assassination immunity?

Slimes list immune to both "Assassination" and backstab. "...Wait, aren't both those things backstab?"

Summon stones list immunity to just Backstab. "Okay, seriously. What is the difference?"

Driving this home, was noting that the infamous Lindworm lists an immunity to Assassination, but not backstab. JUST, assassination (okay and a bunch of other status effects. But not backstab).

So... What does assassinate immunity even do then? It has been a while since I've played so not like I remember enough to make an educated guess by result.

Does assassinate immunity mean the enemy is immune to crits?

Does it mean they are immune to Rank 5 "Any light weapon" backstabs, but not rank 3 "With a dagger" backstabs?

Is it an obsolete keyword meant for Grimrock 1 that doesn't actually do anything in Grimrock 2?

If quick googles or forums searches did have the answer, I didn't notice any searching for both assassination and assassinate, at least.

Yes.

Yes.

Thanks. One stupid question down, and... I probably shouldn't think too hard about how many more I have to go.

How can you change the "openedBy" bit of a key lock via console command? I made a typo so the proper key doesn't fit.

Alternatively, can you "activate" the lock and all the connected triggers with a console command without using a key?

My guess it that is has to be similar to this line, but I can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks in advance.

[Lorial]

lock_gear_1.lock:setOpenedBy("iron_key")

Of course, I needed to "set" it to something else... *facepalm*
Works like a charm, thanks a bunch.

Code: Select all

for i = 1, lock_gear_1.lock:getConnectorCount() do 
	local hook, target, action = lock_gear_1.lock:getConnector(i) 
	--print(hook, target, action) 
	delayedCall(target, 0, action) 
end

end 

This isn't quite right: it fails to pass the LockComponent to a target ScriptComponent, and it's delayed by a frame.
