pressure plates and variables...

[Pandafox]

hello dudes,

is anyone knows if it is possible :

- a pressure plate can start a script with variables ? If yes, how to ?
- a script can get the X and the Y of the pressure plate which started it ?

thanks

in general any activator (plate, button, lever etc.) passes itself as a variable to the script it calls...

So if you add a variable to your script you can access all the properties of the entity that called the function:

Code: Select all

function checkPlate(trigger)
  hudPrint("pressure plate with id " .. trigger.id .. " located at " .. trigger.level .. "," .. trigger.x .. "," .. trigger.y .. " was activated")
end
