Tick tock sound?

[Ixnatifual]

In some puzzles where timing is important in Grimrock, there's a "tick tock" sound playing to let you know. Is this one we can access and if so which sound on the reference list is used?

I think it was "key_lock". Try it out.

That's it. Thanks

Now I have the problem that if I fall into a pit while the tick tock is playing, it continues to play on the level below, but at a much slower rate. Is there a way to either stop it running slowly or check whether the party is on the correct level in the script? That way I can make the script reset the puzzle if they fall down.

After a lot of work I managed to get this puzzle working. The setup behind the scenes is ugly as Hell, but the puzzle looks cool in-game. I just hope it isn't too easy to solve.

party.level will return a number of the level you're on, so I'm sure there would be away to make sure that matches the correct level or else turn things off, reset, etc

Is there any documentation for that method? I've blindly tried a number of variatons on it but either haven't managed to guess the correct name or what type it returns. Or both.

maybe adding in something like:

Code: Select all

if
     party.level == 1
then
     -- do everything you want to do
else
     -- stop everything and reset it all
end
