I'm trying to figure out what code I would need to use to check the health of a boss and spawn in or open up a door as it reaches certain lifepoint amounts.

Basically wanting to make it so each time the boss drops down 25% of its overall hp it will open a door releasing in a few smaller enemies.

MonsterComponent:getHealth()

Also, you might find the scripting reference to be a useful aid in endeavors like this: http://www.grimrock.net/modding/scripting-reference/

So I'm attempting to build the script around the MonsterComponent:getHealth() command, and it keeps throwing up errors all over the script.
As you can guess I literally have no Idea what I'm doing when it comes to creating my own scripts, that scripting reference thing ends up just confusing me more than helping. :s

Let's assume your monster's id is monster_1. Then script will look like following
Analogically to "door" being a DoorComponent of dungeon_door_stone_1 object, "monster" is MonsterComponent of every monster object

Edit: ..lot beated me...
It's not that far away from working solution, this should do the trick.

Sweet I'll plug that in shortly, so if I wanted to make it so it did that a few more times the code would be

So I plugged in And where it says end, the editor throws up an error. 'end' expected (to close 'function' at line 1) near '<eof>'

What does that mean I kept the format the same as the suggested codes above and it seems to have broken.

Code: Select all

function CheckHealth()
	if Golem.monster:getHealth() <= 750 then
	dungeon_secret_door_49.door:open()
	else
	dungeon_secret_door_49.door:close()
end

And where it says end, the editor throws up an error. 'end' expected (to close 'function' at line 1) near '<eof>'

you need two "end" statements
one for the "function" statement
and one for the "if" statement

Welp, I didn't think this thru all the way xD, so it has to exactly hit 750 hp otherwise nothing happens.. What do I do if I want to have it open if it's health is below a certain lifepoint range and stay open after that point.

When/how do you check the boss's health?
