Posts from Scripts

Has anyone managed to create their own hero specialization using scripts? For example, making a specialist for skeletons… :confused:

Is there a function that determines which direction an object is facing?

I don't think this will be necessary. Portals only have 4 possible rotation angles, and they can be determined by the relative position of the mob.

Please help! I can't figure out what's wrong; the script just won't work, no matter what I try.

function biaraF()
Trigger(REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER, "biara", nil);
MessageBox(GetMapDataPath()..'text9.txt');
SetObjectPosition('Raelag', 8, 129, 0)
end;
Trigger(REGION_ENTER_AND_STOP_TRIGGER, "biara", "biaraF");

It seems like everything is correct, and the hero's name matches the script, so there shouldn't be any errors here. The console displays: "Can't find terrain info file for map... and the map directory." All other scripts work, but this one doesn't react at all when entering the region :smile32:

O_o Hmm... the earth texture file seems to have disappeared. When exiting to the surface in the game, it crashes; in the editor, the texture is simply missing, and objects are floating in the air... I'll try copying this file from another map and editing it there :(

I fixed the surface error, but the script still isn't working. I discovered a strange thing: the hero teleports, but to a completely different function (a different trigger). The regions don't overlap... I don't understand what's wrong :(

I'm having a problem: (
I can't seem to get the GetDate function to work.
I need it so that when quest N is received, the countdown to day M (in my case, 10) begins, and when the 10th day arrives since the quest was received, a certain action is performed. But it's also necessary that if the hero completes the quest within those 10 days, the trigger resets, and the function loses its meaning. I wrote a complicated function with a bunch of if statements, but it refuses to work. The console doesn't output anything :( .

I don't think it's that complicated. So, here's the idea. You have a function that handles receiving the quest, right?

Then:

n = 0 (write this outside of all functions)

--Your function--
....
Receive the quest (the required one)
n = 1 -- now we set n to one
--end of function--

Now, using a trigger for a new day (Trigger(NEW_DAY_TRIGGER , 'day')) (as an example), call the function to execute.

--new day function--
if n > 0, then
n = n + 1 -- if n > 0, which in our case means that the quest has already become active, we increment n by 1.
--end of new day function--

Thus, we add +1 to n every day, starting from the day after the quest is received.
Now, all that remains is to write a check function (it can be written directly inside the new day function)

--new day function--
--what is written above--
if n == 11 and the quest has already been completed, then
Your actions
Otherwise, if n == 11, then (this already means that the quest has not been completed within this time)
Your other actions
"For aesthetics, if you don't need the counter to continue, set n = 0"
--end of new day function--

If "Your actions" are already written in another function, that's fine. Instead, write startThread (name_of_the_function_with_actions). That's it, I think. [/code]
Now, a little reference material:

Trigger(NEW_DAY_TRIGGER , 'day') -- trigger for a new day
SetObjectiveState ('objname' , OBJECTIVE_ACTIVE) -- activate the quest, replace the first parameter with the name of your quest
SetObjectiveState ('objname' , OBJECTIVE_COMPLETED/FAILED) -- complete the quest, or fail it.
n = 0 -- and so on (variable)
Trigger(TRIGGER_NAME, nil) -- reset the trigger.

Thus, here is the complete script: (replace the red with your values):

n = 0

function xxx
...
SetObjectiveState ('obj1' , OBJECTIVE_ACTIVE)
n = 1
end

Trigger(NEW_DAY_TRIGGER , 'day')

function day
if n > 0 then
n = n + 1
end
if n == 11 and GetObjectiveState ('obj1') == OBJECTIVE_COMPLETED then
...
elseif n == 11 then
...
end
end

I don't think I wrote anything more complicated. ;)
