Calling a Script in a Script

[Mysterious]

Sorry about this. In LOG 1 you called a Script function in a Script like this:

function help()

script_entity_1.Helpscript()
end

It would then run a function called Helpscript in script_entity_1 This does not seem to work anymore. Does anyone know how? thxs

maybe :

Code: Select all

function help()

script_entity_1.script.Helpscript()
end

Thxs Crom Crom do I have to do this below to get a dagger to spawn on the Altar.

Code: Select all

function ratscomplete1()

hudPrint("RATIGIN: Ahhh thank you and here is your reward, friends.")
spawn("dagger",5,10,12,0,0,"daggerat") -- Can this be easier, rather than all the coordinates---
altar_4.surface:addItem(daggerat.item)
	end

EDIT: Hows the Merchant thing going

If the script is invoked from an object at the spawn location, then you can use the fact that the first argument to the script is the calling object and you can reference its coordinates:

Code: Select all

function ratscomplete1(caller)
  hudPrint("RATIGIN: Ahhh thank you and here is your reward, friends.")
  spawn("dagger", caller.go.level, caller.go.x, caller.go.y, caller.go.facing, 
    caller.go.elevation, "daggerat") -- Reference caller's coordinates---
  altar_4.surface:addItem(daggerat.item)
  end

You still use the coordinates, but you don't have to keep modifying them every time you move things around. I also thought saw a shortcut where you can spawn something at the location of another object, but I can't find it in the forum right now. I hope this helps. -Lark
