How verify if there is a monster on a tile ?

[montagneyaya]

Thanks Lark, finally I resolve the list problem like this

Code: Select all

function OpenAll()
   list_of_gates = {"portcullis_1", "portcullis_2", "portcullis_3"}
   for i =1, #list_of_gates do
      list_of_gates[i]:open()
   end
end

and I agree with Neikun, your script his really awesome.

For this purpose I've used hidden pressure plates, wich is triggered only by monsters. But that trick don't work with flyers.

[montagneyaya]

I had thought, but I did not use a pressure plate for some reason.

If you clone a monster and change flying=true, to false they can effect pressure plates :3

yeah that's the setting for it, but also keep in mind they will path around pits or fall down them if you open trap doors under them, so only mess with that if there are no pits in the area

[Neikun]

..never thought of that one.
Attach an fx to the pit and it'll look like a vacuum! =D

Grr..
Finally this

Code: Select all

function OpenAll()
   list_of_gates = {"portcullis_1", "portcullis_2", "portcullis_3"}
   for i =1, #list_of_gates do
      list_of_gates[i]:open()
   end
end

not work

if I use

Code: Select all

function OpenAll()
   list_of_gates = {"portcullis_1", "portcullis_2", "portcullis_3"}
   for i =1, #list_of_gates do
     print(list_of_gates[i])
   end
end

I have

portcullis_1
portcullis_2
portcullis_3

But when I use list_ of_gates.level I have nil
And list_ of_gates:open() I have an error "attempt to call method 'open' (a nil value)"

Apparently variable can't replace entities, how can we use entities in a table ?

[Xanathar]

Because they are just the names, you have to get the original entity:

Code: Select all

function OpenAll()
	local list_of_gates = {"portcullis_1", "portcullis_2", "portcullis_3"}
	for i =1, #list_of_gates do
		local door = findEntity(list_of_gates[i])
		
		if (door == nil) then 
			print("Error: Can't find door ".. list_of_gates[i])
		else
			door:open()
		end
	end
end

should work. Not tested

[montagneyaya]

Yes, it's work I had not thought to findEntity, thank you for help.
