Help with a script

[J. Trudel]

I am trying to make a script that destroy a cave_in when an ogre charge on it, in a corridor I have a hidden pressure plate that is triggered only by monsters just next to a cave_in. The plate trigger a LUA script that destroy both the ogre and the cave in. The problem I have is if I set the plate to be triggered by the party, it works very well. But when switching the plate to be triggered by monster, the script fail for unknown reasons. Below is my script :

SpoilerShow

-- opentheway script
function opentheway()
ogre_1:destroy()
dungeon_cave_in_1:destroy()
end

move the plate further down the hall see if that works.

move the plate further down the hall see if that works.

Same thing, this time the editor crashed.. maybe a bug triggered by a running ogre?

Edit : I tried with a snail and the script works fine, I get this error log :

could you try to connect the plate to a timer and wait .5 sec before destroying the ogre?

hope this help...

[Komag]

or even just 0.1sec, to make it simply not instantaneous.

I'll try tonight with a timer and let you know, I suspect that when the ogre charge, the script fail to detect it. The script worked out when the ogre walked on it so it.
