[SOLVED] Animated bridge.. need help with an issue

[vanblam]

The code below works just fine except one little problem. If you die and reload ( In game, not editor) the bridge is no longer extended. The bridge was built extended and I load an animation on initialize to retract it ( I only did this because the bridge kept disappearing on me ). I'm sure the problem lies in the "playOnInit", but I don't know what else to do there.

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "sg_stone_bridge_extend",
	baseObject = "base_wall_decoration",
	components = {
		{
			class = "Model",
			model = "mod_assets/models/env/sg_stone_bridge_extend.fbx",
			staticShadow = true,
		},
		{
			class = "Animation",
			animations = {
			extend = "mod_assets/animations/sg_stone_bridge_extend_activate.fbx",
			ready = "mod_assets/animations/sg_stone_bridge_extend_ready.fbx",
			},
			playOnInit = "ready",
			loop = false,
		},
		{
			class = "Controller",
			onOpen = function(self)
				self.go.animation:play("extend")
				playSound("floor_sliding_end")
				self.go.controller:disable()
			end,
		},
	},
	minimalSaveState = true,
	editorIcon = 92,
	tags = { "shadowgate", "dungeon extras" },
}

The problem is that you gave an object the minimalSaveState property, without knowing what that property does.
When you reload the game, minimalSaveState objects are effectively respawned, as by a spawn() call. The ONLY state information preserved for minimalSaveState objects is: name, id, level, x, y, facing, elevation. You can remember this because those are the 7 parameters for spawn(). If you change any other property of the object, that change will be completely erased when the game is loaded.

Thanks for the quick reply
