Please Help...

Hello, I'm a huge Grimrock fan and really enjoying the editor so far. However, I've run into some trouble with the lua scripts while trying to add things in the editor (I know I know there have been a hundred of these topics). Here is my problem...I want to get a door on level 2 to be opened when two plates are being pressed down with items on level 3. Eventually, I would like for these to be specific items that have to trigger the plates if that is possible. I appreciate any help that I can get, as I am totally new to modding/coding. Here is my lua code.

--plate level toggle
function platedown()
if plate1:getPlateState() == "activated" and
plate2:getPlateState() == "activated" then
door1:open()
else
door1:close()
end
end

There is no getPlateState(). See isDown() and isUp() in scripting reference.

I believe it is possible to do what you want. There is a way to detect which item is in the square, and to control things on different levels. There are other threads which explain it all in detail

Alright, thanks for the help! I'll definitely check those out.

function platedown()
if plate1:getPlateState() == "activated" and
plate2:getPlateState() == "activated" then
door1:open()
else
door1:close()
end
end

To use your code, just replace the methods

Code: Select all

function platedown()
    if plate1:isDown() and plate2:isDown() then
        door1:open()
    else
        door1:close()
    end
end

Add a connector to each plate to call the lua entity with the code in to check
