iff(cond, a, b)
Returns a if cond is true, otherwise returns b.
so iff(math.random()<.5,1,-1) returns 1 for a randomly generated number below .5 and returns -1 for number equal or larger then .5

Thanks for your reply!
Yes.
iff(math.random()<.5,1,-1) returns a value of 1 or -1, depending upon whether the math function returns a high or low result. The value is later given as dir to the party:turn(dir) function. It determines whether the party turns left or right.

Thanks, Dr D, better to know it, it's very useful.

I've updated the earlier script.
Added the isIdle check to the turn function. Seems to work.
Funny though... I had guessed that if the party was not idle, that the turn would skip; and not happen. So I had setup a count down that could re-call the function up to 20 times before giving up... but in testing, it only ever called it once... so I removed all of it, and just left the isIdle check.

It's something Petri added to Grimrock's lua.
*But there is a catch to know about it; and that is that if you place functions in the results ~as in iff( true, a(), b())... both functions get called either way; not just the one indicated by the comparison.

Hi all. Thxs for the replies. Ok on most of my levels I use the code below which stops the party until I change (true) to (false)
Code: Select all
GameMode.setGameFlag("DisableMovement",true)
As soon as the code runs I need to turn the party in any of the ddirections 0,1,2,3. It should happen in I guess 0.001 seconds, that way the player does not have time to use the mouse errr 0.001 is fast yeah lol. Or ill use 0.01.

Is it possible to use the dungeon editor in full-screen mode instead of windowed ? I try to set correct positions and sizes for graphics UI elements at different resolutions but the only resolution I can't test is the full screen one...
