New guy with a scripting issue

[Radioactivetire]

Hey

So I've just started working on my first dungeon for Grimrock and I've encountered a problem I was hopping you guys would be able to help me with. The puzzle I'm working on has five levers. The first four activate a different teleporter each, but when the fifth lever is activated I want the first four levers to activate a different teleporter. Also, I want only one teleporter to be active at a time. Also there is a altar at the end containing a blue gem, and when that gem is moved, I do not want the teleporters to work anymore. To accomplish that I've added "counter_puzzle_challenge_2_1" that the first four levers increment when activated, and decrements when deactivated.

So far I've got this code:

SpoilerShow

function Puzzlechallenge_2_1 ()

for item in altar_puzzle_challenege_2:containedItems() do
if item.name == "blue_gem" then
if lever_puzzle_2_1:getLeverState() == "activated" and counter_puzzle_challenge_2_1:getValue() < "2" then
if lever_puzzle_2_s:getLeverState() == "deactivated" then
teleporter_puzzle2_1_1:activate()
teleporter_puzzle2_1_2:deactivate()
teleporter_puzzle2_1_3:deactivate()
teleporter_puzzle2_1_4:deactivate()
else
teleporter_puzzle2_1_1:deactivate()
teleporter_puzzle2_1_2:deactivate()
teleporter_puzzle2_1_3:deactivate()
teleporter_puzzle2_1_4:deactivate()
end
else
counter_puzzle_challenge_2_1:increment()
end
end
end
end

It's simplified for one lever right now, and if possible (and practical) I'd like to have one script to run all the levers. I *think* that the code is fine (basically teaching myself Lua on the go) as it doesn't return any errors, but I can't get the levers to call the function. If anyone has any idea how to fix this, I'd love the help

Thanks



PS. I apologize that I cant seem to get the spacing right on the code so here's a screen shot

Before looking at/thinking on the script: when you check the value of a counter, do not use the "":

Code: Select all

counter_puzzle_challenge_2_1:getValue() < 2

since counters contain numbers, not strings!

You may also try removing the underscores from the original function name. It can be a bit more choosy than the rest of the script.
