Hello there!
I'm quite new to modding and an absolute noob when it comes to scripting.
But since I'm working on my own dungeon I though I'd give it a try and I ended up confused...
I've tried to use the script from this post viewtopic.php?f=22&t=8214 for a simple puzzle, where you just need to walk in a circle and therefore removed everything that has to do with the torches and the light.
That's what I finally got:

Code: Select all

pathcount = 0
pathsolved = 0

function pathpuzzlecircle()
	if pathsolved == 0 then
		local currentactivated = {}
		for i = 1,12 do
			currentactivated[i] = findEntity("pathtrigger"..i)
			if currentactivated[i].floortrigger:isActivated() then
				if i == pathcount + 1 then
					pathcount = pathcount + 1
					if pathcount == 12 then
						return invisible_wall_182: destroy()
						end
				elseif i == pathcount then
					--do nothing
				elseif i == 1 then 
					--start reset
					pathcount = 1
				else
					-- total reset
					pathcount = 0
				end
			end
		end
	end
end

And i ended up with "attempt to index a nil value X" for line 9. And I'm pretty sure there's more that's wrong...
Sadly I'm still learning about lua, which is why I can't figure out, what to do in order to make it work and I'm grateful for anyone, how can help me here

Do you have the entities pathtrigger1, pathtrigger2...pathtrigger12 named in your mod. Remember, the names are case-sensitive, so pathTrigger1 will not be found.

Plus, when the player solves the puzzle the variable pathsolved is not set to 1

And when you destroy the wall, don't use a space between the ":" and "destroy()"

Thank you so much for answering

I've corrected everything and it now works perfectly fine!
