for those who are interested by an area of text input
(example, open a secret door with a password)
Sample script
- connection between a pressure plate, and buttons in the interface (onDrawGui). (change properties of the buttons)
- input text
connection between a wall_button, textinput , secretdoor
to open the secret door, type "OPENSECRET" in the text area

you can use and modify this code

wow, thanks for working up this proof of concept, good example of what can be done

A simple function that can target a projectile
no timer, but the function ondrawGui

Code: Select all

cloneObject{
	name = "party",
	baseObject = "party",
	onDrawGui = function (g)
		script1.traceProjectile()
	end
}

example:
when the projectile passes under a wooden door, the door closes.
spawn your projectile with a id=myspell

Code: Select all

defineSpell{
	name = "myspell",
	uiName = "myspell",
	skill = "air_magic",
	level = 0,
	runes = "CH",
	manaCost = 10,
	onCast = function()
		script1.mySpell()
	end
}

function mySpell()
  local spell
  local dx, dy = getForward(party.facing)
  local x = party.x + dx
  local y = party.y + dy
  if x<0 then x=0 end
  if x>31 then x=31 end
  if y<0 then y =0 end
  if y>31 then y = 31 end
  spawn("lightning_bolt",party.level,party.x+dx,party.y+dy,party.facing,"myspell")
end

in your script1

Code: Select all

xt = 50
yt = 50
function traceProjectile()
  if myspell then
    local x=myspell.x   
    local y=myspell.y
    if xt ~= x or yt ~=y then  -- execute only if the coordinates are changed
      xt = x
      yt = y
      for i in entitiesAt(party.level,x,y) do
        if i.name ~= "lightning_bolt" then 
          hudPrint(i.name)
       end
        if i.name == "dungeon_door_wooden" then i:close() end
      end
  end
  else
    xt = 50
    yt = 50
  end
end

The projectile closes all the doors under which it passes and display the names of all entities on its way.

This is the principle I've been using to track spells in exsp (viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4459). I do not know if you were aware of it or if you checked the code...

I track spellProjectiles by Id, creating a spell object with properties and methods which is handled oop-style across the different functions. It also includes detection algorithms for various collisions and a hooks system, effects, monster methods, helper functions...

That's a pretty cool script. I think that it would be a nice addition to the grimwidgets framework: https://github.com/xanathar/grimwidgets
Thread: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4454

Would you like to participate and convert your script for the grimwidgets? We already have a similar 3D button made by Xanathar, but we don't have a text input field.

You can use this code as you want, it's just an exemple it needs to be improved.
