I am In need of some help. I am trying to make some doors in my dungeon that will only open if the party has a certain amount of items (lets say golden coins for instance) in their inventory

I want some doors to open with 4 coins, 8 coins, 12 coins, 16 coins, etc... the party doesnt loose the coins when the door opens... the more coins you collect the better doors scattered around my dungeon can be opened.

-- what kind of script do I need to make (any example ?)
-- and can the script check stackable items?

anyone here know the game FEZ ... I want it to be like that, ... you collect blocks ... and the more blocks you have the more options open up.

This is good to know.
I'll update it.

*There is also the 'Fire Mastery' trait to handle, when the ring is removed.

The SkillManager script will add and remove any skill-based traits accurately

Oh!
Also, you can use EquipmentItemComponents to change skill levels - my bad

Well that's even better; (much better actually).

Thanks Akroma and Isaac !

Both solutions proposed by Akroma work perfectly. Your script will definitely be credited in my mod, Akroma

Cheers

Hey kelly - you can easily adapt the code from the asset pack Head Hunter trait to suit your needs

SpoilerShow

Code: Select all

defineTrait{
	name = "head_hunter",
	uiName = "Head Hunter",
	icon = 45,
	charGen = true,
	requiredRace = "minotaur",
	description = "Strength +1 for each skull carried.",
	onRecomputeStats = function(champion, level)
		if level > 0 then
			-- count skulls
			local skulls = 0				--create a for ord = 1, 4 do loop here to check all champs
			for i=1,ItemSlot.MaxSlots do
				local item = champion:getItem(i)
				if item then
					if item:hasTrait("skull") then    --check for your special coins here
						skulls = skulls + 1   	--check stacksize here
					else
						local container = item.go.containeritem
						if container then
							local capacity = container:getCapacity()
							for j=1,capacity do
								local item2 = container:getItem(j)
								if item2 and item2:hasTrait("skull") then	             --check for your special coins here
									skulls = skulls + 1	                     			--check stacksize here
								end
							end
						end
					end
				end
			end
			champion:addStatModifier("strength", skulls)	--check # of coins >> open doors accordingly
		end
	end,
}

Hope this will have you heading in the right direction

Thanks. Akorma. I will fiddle around with the script. I think this is indeed what I wanted.

Just another thought...
You could give the Party a CounterComponent (named coinscollectedcounter ?)...
Using the party's onPickUpItem hook, check to see if a 'coin' item has been picked up...
If so - destroy the coin item and increment the coins collected Counter.
Then you can easily reference # coins collected with:

Code: Select all

party.go.coinscollectedcounter:getValue()

However, this method would really require that the coins not remain actual game objects after being collected/picked up/awarded

Hello Grimrockians....

I want to make a sort of relay (dont know if this is the correct word) .. i'll explain. I need a wall filled with squares (i can moddel this) and each time a coin is inserted into a slot an counter will increment and highlight one of the squares... so that in the end the whole wall is lit when all the coins are inserted.

question: how do I make this the easiest way... with particles of lights (kinda tricky) or is there a way to change the color of a texture applied via an ingame script? ...

Or can this be done with gem sockets ,,, that when you insert a coin a gem appears in a socket (and stays there) ... than make a sort of array with gemsockets ?

can someone point me in the easiest direction to make this?

You might try a model component for each square, and change the emission color of a model component for each coin spent.
You'd carve the wall into squares. This method would produce lit 3D pieces of the wall.

Alternatively, you could use a simple plane (two polygon, triangulated) model, and spawn as many as you need to cover the wall. Place them just slightly in front of it; these can all share the same model. Do the same with the emission color.
