Scripting Pressureplates

[Hianloun]

Hello.

I wanted to start my own Map in LoG2. I´am pretty new at Scripting and the first problems start .

I want to make a little Pressureplate puzzle.

For example. Lets say i Have three Plates. Two of them have to be activated and one of them have to be deactivated to open the Door

So in the Editor i place :

3x PressurePlates
1x Door
1x scripting_entity

I connectect the 3x Pressure Plates to scripting_entity and also choose the DoorOpen() function
I renamed the Pressureplates and the Door to make it easyier for me (Plate1,Plate2,Plate3 / Door1)

The scripting_entity looks like:

function DoorOpen()
if Plate1.floortrigger: <<<<<<<<<<< (And here the problem starts) What is the command to let the script check that this plate is active and
Plate2.floortrigger: <<<<<<<<<< same and
Plate3.floortrigger: <<<<<<<<<< same then
Door1.door (dont know if door is right): <<<<<< same

end
end


Hope anyone can help me . Thanks

just my idea as I am scripting noob as well - you dont need scripting for this. Just use object counter, set it to 2 and link it to door. Then link all plates to it (two "correct" plates will give -1 counter on activation and +1 on deactivation, and last plate will give +1 on activation and -1 on deactivation). So door will only open when counter = 0 (means both correct plates are activated). Of course scripting will be much more precise for this

To add; this is a helpful guide to doing it in LoG1 (will still work in Log2).

Thanks to both of you.

I had the same idea but i think there is a problem.

Lets say the counter have a value of 2. And at 0 it triggers the Door.

I have three plates and Want 1 and 3 activated and 2 deactivated.

If a player goes on Plate1 or Plate3 the counter value goes -1. If he goes on Plate2 nothing happen.

Ok now the player can easy move over Plate1 and again Plate1 ( Counter -1 -1 )

Another Problem is when i give Plate2 a value of +1 to the counter and the player moves 10 times over it. That means the Counter is at 10+.

Or do i think the wrong way?

That video actually explains how to remedy that problem.

Jea thats true. But this is for Torchholder.

if Plate1.floortrigger: <<<<<<<<<<< (And here the problem starts) What is the command to let the script check that this plate is active

That is my Problem at the moment. I dont know the commmand to let the script check if the plate is active .

Also the scripting changes from LoG1 and LoG2.

Want I'm getting here is you want to do,

Create a script_entity and name it game and copy paste this in it:

Code: Select all

function getEnabled(entity)
      if entity .door:open() == open then
         return true
      elseif entity .door:close() == close then
         return false
      end
end

So then you can use that like:

if game.script:getEnabled(entity) == true or false whichever one then
door_name.door:close()
end

Example that I use:

if game.script:getEnabled(door) == false then
door.door:open()
end

So true = open,
and false = closed

Or you can also use the method that you don't have to do much with which is:

if entity .door:open() == open then
elseif entity .door:close() == close then
end

thats the way you do that which is less work but the reason why I showed you the other method is because thats apart of a easy script thing you copy paste into an script_entity and name the script_entity game and it makes most commands easier but in my easy commands the getEnabled method doesn't just get if a door is opened or closed.

Hey,

i just want three pressureplates.

If two of them are activated the door opens. Else not.

No script needed just use a counter and make it have 2 value and then make your to pressure plates that open the door decrement the counter and the their pressure plate reset the counter or increase the counter and then connect the counter to the door easy as pie
