I don't suppose anyone has an answer/work around to get addConnector to work with item hooks yet?
(Related to this thread and some others...)

I haven't seen an update yet to the software so I don't think we can yet. It was my primary reason to set LoG2 coding aside and just lurk around the forums.

What? Of course there is a workaround, you have scripting access to all the hooks that connectors do. In fact, all of the work has already been done for you, over a month ago.

So you can make this work...

Code: Select all

function myTestSpawn()
   local o = spawn("rope", party.level, party.x, party.y, 0, party.elevation)
   o.item:addConnector("onEquipItem", "lib", "aaa")
   o.item:addConnector("onUnequipItem", "lib", "bbb")
end

function aaa()
   print("A")
end

function bbb()
   print("B")
end

...without an error?

Well, you cannot overwrite the native addConnector method as far as I know, so you can't use that exact code. You would use something like this:

Code: Select all

function myTestSpawn()
   local o = spawn("rope", party.level, party.x, party.y, 0, party.elevation)
   fw.script:set(o.id..'@item.whateverNamespaceYouWant.onEquipItem',aaa)
  fw.script:set(o.id..'@item.whateverNamespaceYouWant.onUnequipItem',bbb)
end

function aaa()
   print("A")
end

function bbb()
   print("B")
end
Also if the hook framework works similarly to how it does in LoG1 (I haven't tested) function ownership will change from this script component to the fw script if the game is saved and reloaded, so you need to account for that (only reference the global environment in the function).

How do I put a delay in between the activate and deactivate ?

Code: Select all

function teleporterrotation()
	teleporter_13.controller:activate() 
	teleporter_13.controller:deactivate()
end

Since the teleporter object has a ControllerComponent named "controller", you can use the global delayedCall function:

Code: Select all

function teleporterrotation()
   teleporter_13.controller:activate()
  delayedCall("teleporter_13",1.5,"deactivate")
end
to deactivate the teleporter after 1.5 seconds.

Here's a simple question: I was trying to use setAiState to shift a monster from guard to its default ai state, but I really have no idea what i'm doing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :D
