It comes to my mind that somehow you need to stop the script once it has finished. Otherwise, the game crashes if you put BANE back into the altar and you pick it again, as long as the monster doesn't exist anymore...

Do I need a Boolean or something to stop that?
I tried this
dungeon_alcove_magma:destroy()
but the game crashes.

So the simple question is:

How to stop calls into scripts for BOSSFIGHTS that can't be triggered again?

do something like this:

Code: Select all

onlyOnce = false

function trap()
	if onlyOnce == false then
		onlyOnce = true
		--do stuff
	end
end

Here's the script. The script itself can probably be compressed but this part of the script isn't an issue.

Code: Select all

function firstButton()
	dd_1.door:open()
	spawn("wall_button", 8, 11, 11, 2, 0, "button_1").clickable:addConnector("onClick", "script_entity_25", "secondButton")
	wall_button_7.clickable:disable()
	end	

function secondButton()
	dd_2.door:open()
	spawn("wall_button", 8, 5, 17, 3, 0, "button_2").clickable:addConnector("onClick", "script_entity_25", "thirdButton")
	button_1.clickable:disable()
	end
	
function thirdButton()
	dd_3.door:open()
	spawn("wall_button", 8, 22, 3, 3, 0, "button_3").clickable:addConnector("onClick", "script_entity_25", "fourthButton")
	button_2.clickable:disable()
	end
	
function fourthButton()
	dd_4.door:open()
	spawn("wall_button", 8, 7, 5, 2, -1, "button_4").clickable:addConnector("onClick", "script_entity_25", "fifthButton")
	button_3.clickable:disable()
	end
	
function fifthButton()
	dd_5.door:open()
	spawn("wall_button", 8, 1, 17, 1, 0, "button_5").clickable:addConnector("onClick", "script_entity_25", "sixthButton")
	button_4.clickable:disable()
	end

function sixthButton()
	dd_6.door:open()
	button_5.clickable:disable()
	end

Now, I want to be able to destroy any of these buttons at any time. I know it's something simple, but my brain just isn't working at the moment.

And thankyou for the quick reply from befor.

[GoldenShadowGS]

I see you have named them, so you can just do

Code: Select all

button_1:destroy()

[Grimfan]

It is a little more complicated however in the fact that each created button is on a central timer that resets every time a button is clicked. If the button isn't reached in time however that button (and any previous buttons) are destroyed.

Awesome, it works but I still have a problem: the countdown resets (the monster recovers all its health) if I place back an item and remove it while the countdown is in progress!

However, after the bossfight has ended, nothing happens in the alcove, so that´s one part solved!!

Thank you so much GoldenShadow.

Here is the script:

Code: Select all

onlyOnce = false

function startmagmacountdown()

	if onlyOnce == false then
	onlyOnce = true
    magma_countdown.bossfight:addMonster(magma_countdown_turtle.monster)
    magma_countdown.bossfight:activate()
    timer_magma.timer:start()
    dungeon_door_portcullis_9.door:close()
    party.party:shakeCamera(0.04,15)
    dungeon_fire_pit_1.particle:enable()
    dungeon_fire_pit_2.particle:enable()
    dungeon_fire_pit_3.particle:enable()
    dungeon_fire_pit_4.particle:enable()
    dungeon_fire_pit_5.particle:enable()
    dungeon_fire_pit_6.particle:enable()
    dungeon_fire_pit_7.particle:enable()

You can remove the connectors from the alcove.
Fill in the correct details and place this in the function somewhere

Code: Select all

   alcove_1.surface:removeConnector("onRemoveItem", "Script_entity_1", "function")

alcove_1 is whatever your alcove ID is named
"Script_entity_1" is what entity the connector is connected to
"function" is a script function, if targeting a script, or an action like "close" if its targeting a door. Just put here what the connector shows.

[Grimfan]

I'm also trying to look for ways to destroy spawned buttons and levers without getting an invalid connector script warning. Is that even possible?

EDIT: Wait was my question just indirectly answered above?

[GoldenShadowGS]

It is a little more complicated however in the fact that each created button is on a central timer that resets every time a button is clicked. If the button isn't reached in time however that button (and any previous buttons) are destroyed.

So, what you want is a button that spawns another button. When the next button is pressed, it destroys the previous button, right?

[Grimfan]

Not quite. Each button is on a 30 second timer. If the button isn't pressed in time it and all previously spawned buttons are destroyed.
