How to discover secret and play sound etc?

I got a simple question, but it seems like there's no answer to it found anywhere. Maybe I'm just blind, but here it is:
How do you script a simple event of finding a secret, adding it to the game map, getting the message "Secret Found" and having the "secret" sound play? I understand the algorithm, but I'm not too familiar with Lua. Could someone please give an example script of how to do it?
Thanks in advance. Also, is there any way of opening the official LoG dungeon in the editor, in order to see how the devs have done things? It'd help a lot.

the easiest thing to do is place a Secret entity using the editor, and in the same space (or nearby) place a hidden pressure plate.
Create a connection from the plate to the secret with the activate action and it should work.

i read somewhere you have to put another secret symbol somewhere else otherwise you end up with a 1/0 secrets found.

I tried this and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the input. I do want to find out more though, but I'll check out the Lua scripting and look around some more. Specifically, I'd like to add "X experience gained" to the text that appears, and similar.

I'm not familiar with this problem, but I'll try your solution if it pops up. Thanks.

place a "Secret" entity, then a script entity and put this into it:
Code: Select all
function exp()
hudPrint ("Gained 250 exp.")
for i=1,4 do party:getChampion(i):gainExp(250)
end
end
Then connect a pad to both
Your connector must be activate once or players will have an unlimited exp. cheat

The main dungeon was made in the days before the dungeon editor existed so it's not compatible with dungeon editor.

Some nice feedback here, and I'll try out that script as well (msyblade). Thanks again, peeps.
