I don't think it's possible to know the entity which causes a death of a champion.
This said, I think you can do your script with the following technic :
entity_1 is an instance of your monster
onDie : use a hook which does this : if a party member died, look for the four adjacents tiles (party.x and party.y), and look for the location of entity_1 (entity_1.x, entity.y) : if the entity is present, ironDoor:open()
Will it be good for your need? I can try to write you the needed scripts if you want (but I'm at work now so I won't be able to test it at the moment!
)

I will be glad if you can write it. Do it when you can, i'm ending the dungeon on this week end and i need to try it before publishing the beta of the full mod.

it's could actually be the opposite.
like "you can do x to open the door, but if someone gets killed, the door opens as well"
I might try to whip up a script this afternoon when I have time.

Done. Can someone try the following?
in file
init.lua
Code: Select all
cloneObject{
name = "party",
baseObject = "party",
onDie = function()
murderMystery.checkWhoDidIt()
end,
}
script_entity
murderMystery
Code: Select all
-- change the following line to suit your dungeon
suspectedMurderer = "tentacles"
doorToOpen = "mysteryDoor"
-- you shouldn't need to change any of the following lines
function checkWhoDidIt()
local x = ""
local y = ""
for i=1,4 do
if i==1 then
x = party.x+1
elseif i == 3 then
x = party.x-1
else
x = party.x
end
if i==2 then
y = party.y+1
elseif i == 4 then
y = party.y-1
else
y = party.y
end
for j in entitiesAt(party.level, x, y) do
if j.name == suspectedMurderer then
findEntity(doorToOpen):open()
return
end
end
end
end

i like the script name Montis ^_^
in fact... it gave me an idea... a murder mystery mod!
one of your party members killed an innocent snail, following clues you must figure out which room the murder took place in and with which weapon!

The cript crashed as a party member died and the editor was shut down.

The function was incorrect, but not to the part that it crashed for me. I fiddled around a bit and reproduced the crash: the script_entity name must(!) be the same name as you refer to it in the onDie function. So when you have ondie... murderMystery.checkWhoDidIt(), you must name the script_entity "murderMystery" or the game will crash when trying to call the function.
I corrected the script of the function above, that will work now.
