Scrip Help plz

[Meraz]

function opendoor()
if ht1:hasgolden_chalice() and
ht2:hasgolden_crown() and
ht3:hasgolden_dragon() and
ht4:hasgolden_figure() and
ht5:hasgolden_goromorg() and
ht6:hasgolden_orb() then
td:open()
else
td:close()
end
end

i am trying to have a door open when all those items are placed on alcoves, why doesn't it work?

have also tried a differnt setting:

function itemPuzzle()
if itemPuzzleAlcove1 == "golden_chalice" and
itemPuzzleAlcove2 == "golden_crown" and
itemPuzzleAlcove3 == "golden_dragon" and
itemPuzzleAlcove4 == "golden_figure" and
itemPuzzleAlcove5 == "golden_goromorg" and
itemPuzzleAlcove6 == "golden_orb" then
tdoor:open()
else
tdoor:close()
end
end

still without success

Hi Meraz.

Code: Select all

function opendoor()
if ht1:hasgolden_chalice() and
ht2:hasgolden_crown() and
ht3:hasgolden_dragon() and
ht4:hasgolden_figure() and
ht5:hasgolden_goromorg() and
ht6:hasgolden_orb() then
td:open()
else
td:close()
end
end

Without seeing your mod in the editor, a lot of those identifiers are out-of-context. You have several identifiers following the pattern "ht#" - what are these? The syntax:

Code: Select all

ht1:hasgolden_chalice()

implies that ht1 is a lua table of some sort, and "hasgolden_chain" is a key which indexes some function within that table. What exactly happens when you run the function opendoor ? Also, what calls opendoor (e.g. a connector or another script)?

In your other script example:

Code: Select all

function itemPuzzle()
       if itemPuzzleAlcove1 == "golden_chalice" and
	    itemPuzzleAlcove2 == "golden_crown" and
	    itemPuzzleAlcove3 == "golden_dragon" and
	    itemPuzzleAlcove4 == "golden_figure" and
	    itemPuzzleAlcove5 == "golden_goromorg" and
	    itemPuzzleAlcove6 == "golden_orb" then
			tdoor:open()
		else
			tdoor:close()
	end
end

I think that "itemPuzzleAlcove#" is the identifier for one of the alcoves in your puzzle. As a dungeon object, this will always be a table. In this code, you are comparing tables to strings (e.g. "golden_chalice"), but tables are never equal to strings, so the lua interpreter will always reach the line tdoor:close() , never tdoor:open() . Again, what calls itemPuzzle ?

I suspect that what you want is more like this:

Code: Select all

function itemPuzzle()
       if alcoveContainsItem( "itemPuzzleAlcove1" , "golden_chalice" ) and
	    alcoveContainsItem( "itemPuzzleAlcove2" , "golden_crown" ) and
	    alcoveContainsItem( "itemPuzzleAlcove3" , "golden_dragon" ) and
	    alcoveContainsItem( "itemPuzzleAlcove4" , "golden_figure" ) and
	    alcoveContainsItem( "itemPuzzleAlcove5" , "golden_goromorg" ) and
	    alcoveContainsItem( "itemPuzzleAlcove6" , "golden_orb" ) then
			tdoor:open()
		else
			tdoor:close()
	end
end

alcoveContainsItem = function( alcoveName , itemName )
	local alcove = findEntity( alcoveName )
	if not alcove then
		return false
	end
	for item in alcove:containedItems() do
		if item.name == itemName then
			return true
		end
	end
	return false
end

Each alcove should have a connector that targets your script_entity , Action = itemPuzzle . Note that this will only check for the presence of the desired items, it ignores any extraneous items. Hope this helps

I will give it a try, thanks =) ..Never tried scripting anything before this game so I am still learning the do's and don'ts..

[Meraz]

Woot it worked like a charm, your awsome dude thanks alot !

Hi Fellas!

Marble Mouth, you have helped me out yet again with what I was I stumped on (doing complicated things with tables!!)
So I thought I would drop you a line and say thanks ... also share what I have done with it...

I have expanded on the head hunter trait - basically 'normal skull' bonuses to attack power dont work anymore... there are pieces of armour (which are actually 'sack' containers) that you must adorn with different kinds of skulls, bones, horns, teeth etc. Then you have a grimoire for each piece of armour which you can right click on check on the combinations of skulls etc you have on/inside your armour.
From there, the party finds clues and recipes for combinations of bones and skulls which they can collect and add together >>> which will give the champion good (and different) bonuses.

I was really struggling with how to table this all up but thanks to your example, all sorted now

These are the items involved currently (but Im going to cut it down a bit)
