multiple specific items on an altar

hello!
I parsed through the check items in an alcove thread and messed around with some of the scripts but i cannot get the outcome i desire.
What i am looking for is an altar that requires 6 specific items be placed upon it to open a door.
I tried this script:
Code: Select all
function altarCheck()
local offeringlist = { "golden_chalice", "golden_orb", "golden_dragon" }
if offeringaltar:getItemCount() == 0
then
offeringdoor:close()
else
for j=1,3 do
for i in offeringaltar:containedItems() do
if i.name == offeringlist[j]
then
offeringdoor:open()
return
end
end
end
offeringdoor:close()
end
end
but it opens the door when any one of the three items is placed upon it. I need all three items to be placed on the altar in order for the door to open.
I apologize if I'm a bit slow in getting the script to do my bidding but it i just can't it to work!
All help is greatly appreciated. My dungeon is nearly complete, just need a few more tweaks and fixes!

Code: Select all
function altarContainsItem(item)
local offeringlist = { "golden_chalice", "golden_orb", "golden_dragon" }
for j=1,3 do
if i.name == offeringlist[j]
then
return true
end
end
return false
end
function altarCheck()
if offeringaltar:getItemCount() == 0
then
offeringdoor:close()
else
for i in offeringaltar:containedItems() do
if not altarContainsItem(i)
then
offeringdoor:close()
return
end
end
offeringdoor:open()
end
end
What about this? I haven't tested it though.
You had a mistake there. You call offeringdoor:open() if any item is on altar (that's why it's enough to have there only one).

This crashes it: i returns a nil value
if i.name == offeringlist[j]

Try adding a counter in the for loop. The script you wrote indeed check if there is at least one item in the offeringList. Adding a counter you are sure you can open it with 6 of those items.
You may want to try this script, but I haven't tested, so I'm note sure it will work at the first try! I've also tweaked it a little bit!
Code: Select all
function altarCheck()
local offeringlist = { "golden_chalice", "golden_orb", "golden_dragon" }
local n = 0
if offeringaltar:getItemCount() == 6 then
for j=1,3 do
for i in offeringaltar:containedItems() do
if i.name == offeringlist[j]
then
n = n + 1
end
end
end
end
if n == 6 then
offeringdoor:open()
else
offeringdoor:close()
end
end
EDIT: I've tested and it works.

Would you mind telling me how you set it up?
I'm still not getting it to work!
Boy I feel dumb, lol!

Oh, probably you have to check the "activate always" option of the altar!
Be also sure to connect the altar to the script as action: "any"

It's a typo, item instead of i should be there.
