i know there is a way to make only specific item for the altar to trigger secret door but i dont know how to make the specific item to work on it
becuse right now every item i put on the altar trigger the secret door

You need to use a script to check the item on the altar and open the door. Typically this is done by adding an onInsertItem connector from the SurfaceComponent to a function in a script_entity's ScriptComponent that compares the item's name to the desired name (or checks for the desired trait, or whatever other condition you want) and opens the door if they match.

Code: Select all

for _,item in YOUR_ALTAR_ID.surface:contents() do				
	if item.go.ID== 'YOUR_ITEM_ID' then
		DoSomething();
	end
end

very hard for me to understand ur replay can you give me exmple of some random item on altar so then i will understand what i need to do for sure thanks for the help

[renen01]

for flask_1,item in altar_2.surface:contents(beach_secret_door_2) do if item.go.altar_2== 'flask_1' then DoSomething(toogle); end
really not understanding how to make it work

[Azel]

It should be:

Code: Select all

for _,item in altar_2.surface:contents() do
	if item.go.ID == 'flask_1' then
		-- put your action code here
	end
end

All you have to do is put your action commands where the Comment is. Don't change anything else. Although based on your current understanding of applying LUA to Grimrock I would strongly recommend you spend a great many hours going back and forth with the Scripting Reference and your own trial and error:

You need to put yourself to some gruesome and lengthy scripting practice. I had to do the same thing when I first started.
