It seems to me that you are adding to the alcove surface something different from the item you have spawned. Try

Code: Select all

local rs = spawn("rat_shank")
pickup_food_alcove.surface:addItem(rs.item)
playSound("level_up")

Indeed.
Or even just...

Code: Select all

pickup_food_alcove.surface:addItem(spawn("rat_shank").item)
playSound("level_up")

Is there a monster-blocker item in the grimrock editor?

I have only seen blockers that block everything.

I haven't seen that. The regular Blocker objects have an option for blocking the party and items, but that's not the default.

Code: Select all

-- snippet
	name = "blocker",
	components = {
		{
			class = "Obstacle",
			blockParty = false,
			blockItems = false,
		},
If you have blockParty and BlockItems set in your blockers, you can set them to False.

Thank you.

That means there is no option to only block monsters to move to a specific square.

I remember in Dungeon Master Editors was a simple Block-Monster Objekt..which was very useful.

Edit: Oh wait...i misunderstood you :) Your created Blocker would block monsters but nothing else..so that would work

Correct; but AFAIK, that is the default behavior of blocker objects.

...there's already an object called "blocker" in the standard assets that does exactly what you want. It only blocks monsters.

Thank you Alois and Issac awesome guys :)

Ok I got it to work, but after you use the lever 9 times it still spawns rat_shanks. I thought if "fed_counter > 9 then" would stop the player using the lever further. Once it's greater than 9 it should stop and hudPrint the text (Nothing happens)?? What imam I doing wrong on this guys thxs in return :)

Code: Select all

fed_counter = 0

function feedTheParty()
if fed_counter > 9 then
	hudPrint("Nothing happens.")
else
	fed_counter = fed_counter + 1
		pickup_food_alcove.surface:addItem(spawn("rat_shank").item)
				playSound("level_up")
end
	end
EDIT: Errrr sorry this code does work I missed 1 count with the level :oops:

Hi again guys.

I need a Script that allows me to turn the Party to either 0,1,2,3 when the walk onto a floor_trigger. I think this was mentioned b4 but I cannot find the Script. I know that the player can still use the mouse to turn, but I only need it to happen on level entry or exit.

Thxs for help on this :)

Do you want the party to simply turn (in this case: party:setPosition(party.x,party.y,0/1/2/3,party.elevation,party.level) is enough) or to be incapable of turning after you set the facing (which involves the onTurn hook)?

Alois :)
