Custom Secret Door in script

[Damonya]

I wanted to make a secret door with texture of: dungeon_catacomb_empty and the similar other. But it is too difficult. I searched in the forum, but nothing. So I have found an other solution. I give you so that you can correct me. There may be more simple, but I have not found.

1. First install Grimrock Model Toolkit and download the Asset Pack.
2. Open GMT and the dungeon_secret_door.model
3. Go to Model Nodes: Node 2 :Gates
4. Changes the 0,01 in Matrix to 0
5. Save your file as : invisible_wall.model in your mod_assets/models folder
6. In objects.lua:

SpoilerShow

Code: Select all

cloneObject{
	name = "invisible_wall",
	baseObject = "dungeon_secret_door",
	model = "mod_assets/models/invisible_wall.fbx",
}

That's all! And now you have an invisible secret door. That's fun!

Open the editor and place the dungeon_catacomb_empty and your invisible_wall at the same place
Now you have a dungeon catacomb (or what you want) secret door.

But to open the secret door you must through script.
Connect a wall_button to a function script_entity.

1.The simplest

- connect the wall button to your invisible_wall : open
- connect the wall button to this function

SpoilerShow

Code: Select all

function wallsecret()
dungeon_catacomb_empty:destroy()
end

Here you have the sound of the secret_door opening but not the animation
And you probably need to add a counter because the function can not destroy execute if the object does not exist (if you press the button repeatedly).

So:

2. A little more difficult

- set a counter
- connect the wall button to this function:

Code: Select all

function wallesecret()
if counter:getValue() == 0 then
dungeon_catacomb_empty:destroy()
invisible_wall:destroy()
spawn("dungeon_secret_door", L, X, Y, facing,"secret_door_catacomb")
secret_door_catacomb:open()
counter:setValue(1)
end
end

PS : for "L,X,Y,facing" see the function spawn.

Now you have a custom secret wall with the sound and the animation. You can put monster in your secret place, they can't come if the invisible_wall is not open or destroy.

It's not perfect but better than nothing. If you have any suggestions and improvements: Thanks.

Oh, you can shorten this whole thing up by opening the model you want in the gmt, and renaming a node as gate.
So for the catacombs, the node you want to rename is Mesh.

Then you save it and define it as a secret door.

Oh my god, I'm shit for nothing.

Thanks Neikun, it's really better.

Well at least, you know how to make an invisible wall.

Even if some of your effort ends up "wasted" it's okay because of how much you learned in the process. This has happened to me many times!
