I only have Daemon Eyes for you!

[IronOgre]

Hello I am new here (waves) and was wondering if there is a forum post on how to properly use the Daemon Head Eye Slots? I did a search but didn't come up with anything. I would like to script the eye slots so that when 2 gems are placed inside (one in each) which will (1) opens a secret door same level and (2) opens a trap door level above and drops a monster in front of you. Any advice/help is much appreciated.

Connect both sockets to a counter set at 2

Each socket has 2 connectors to the counter, and one to the door:-
activate ----> decrement counter
deactivate------>increment counter

The connector to the door from each socket set thus:-
deactivate------> close door

When both sockets are full the counter will have decreased by 2, reaching 0 and firing
Connect the counter to the door:-
activate -----> open door.

This will work as you intend, and even after socketing both gems, if you remove one the door will close. Replacing it will reopen the door

Also target/connect the trapdoor from the counter:-
activate----->open trapdoor

that can work, or you forego the close door connections from the sockets and just do an "any"--"toggle" connection from the counter. Unless you plan to use the upper trap door room for the player at some point, it might be better to trigger a spawner instead.

You'll find the same technique usefull for other puzzles as well (torches, switches, pressure plates, etc).

Hey folks,
I have searched around for an appropriate thread to place this question... it is indeed eye socket related!

Q- is there a way to rig it so once a gem is placed into an eye socket, it can not be removed afterwards????
Komag or Alcove Guy, your helpful nudging would be muchly appreciated

at the moment the only thing I can think of would be to have a custom model with the gem included, and swap it in, so that's not a very easy answer, but I think it would work.

Also there is the onPickUpItem hook that could maybe be utilized here, but I don't know how to do that
