You can also just move the party wherever you want using a script without using a teleporter. Just use party:setPosition(x, y, party.facing, elevation, level) if that would help. I believe that the "fall" could be orchestrated anyway you like, especially if you disabled gravity ( party.gra...

MrChoke! Welcome back! It is awesome to have you back!! I've come, gone, and returned too. Life keeps getting in the way, but I'm more interested in creating things others can use instead of going for a full-blown mod (although I keep working on one). I keep bouncing from scripting to 3D graphics an...

minmay: Okay, I see. Thank you for taking the extra time to help me yet again. You're quite amazing, you know. Thanks for the information on creating smooth 3D models without sharp edges too (or something like that). I'll be searching for that again and hopefully produce a few decent models eventual...

a ScriptComponent isn't even useful for it. Although it's only a simple example of what I'm playing with, why not? 1) The party steps on tile activating the trigger component, 2) the party speed set to .6 (or whatever) by onActivate, 3) the party leaves the tile and the triggers onDeactivate settin...

minmay: Thank you again. I can actually use what you have provided, I think. I'm trying to create some "specialized" tiles that are self-contained so that no frameworks, extra scripts, plates, et cetera are required for the tiles to function correctly. Not that any of these things are bad,...

You can call an internal function (from a script component) from any other function (onInit, onActivate, onAnimationEvent, etc...) by having it 'navigate' to the script component, and execute a script as you would normally trigger functions through scripts. Zimber: I'm making progress and I have th...

Zimberzimber: Thank you! I'm just now seeing how you can combine different properties in the same object - like your script internal to your omnitool object. That really helps. Minmay: Yes of course I see what you did in your example now and yes, it's much easier and proficuous. So duuuh :?, I never...

Detecting reloads To detect when the dungeon is loaded, place a single instance of this object anywhere in your dungeon: defineObject{ name = "load_detector", placement = "floor", components = { { class = "Null", onInit = function(self) -- Whenever this function is cal...

BlankGame: Coding is like anything else - start slow, put out a little effort, and learn as you go on simple programs. PM me if you want some assistance. I'll be happy to help you get started. I only have a little coding experience with Lua under Grimrock, but even a little knowledge can be rewardin...

Of course, you could always fall back on Pythagoras and calculate the distance between the party and whatever object, such as the script, and test to see if you're within the distance you wanted: if math.sqrt((party.x - self.go.x) ^ 2 + (party.y - self.go.y) ^ 2) > 6 then return But this might use m...
