script which prevents sleeping

[Drakkan]

Help pls. Subject is quite clear - I need to disable sleeping possibility in particular level of the dungeon. As I do not think that it is possible to completely disable Zzz option, just to make that hp/energy will be not replenished up during sleep is fine
Any ideas somebody ?

simply break onRest hook for the party, or set up a temporary condition which causes it to return false for a while so that it will work again later

Also I am wondering some script which disable mappin on automap ? I need some area of the level have no possibility to be automaped (could be bordered by hidden pressure plates)

Editing party hooks is as easy as using a clone of the party object and over-riding the provided onX hook functions. In order to prevent sleeping, you just need to do the following.

Code: Select all

cloneObject{
   name = "party",
   baseObject = "party",
   onRest = function(party)
      return false;		
   end,
   onWakeUp = function(party)

   end,
}

I've got this weird hunch that if you have onRest / onWakeUp then you have to have the other (this is certainly true if you want to override onWakeUp, if you don't override onRest then it causes a crash I think - or at least it used too).

If you want to make it conditional (only when the party is on level 3 of your dungeon say), do something like...

Code: Select all

cloneObject{
   name = "party",
   baseObject = "party",
   onRest = function(party)
      if ( party.level == 3 ) then
         return false;		
      end
   end,
   onWakeUp = function(party)

   end,
}

Enjoy!

wow I am quite suprised of capacatibility of this editor... really awesome, thanks a lot, working fine as I intended.

if you're not going to put anything in onWakeUp you don't need that part in there

[JohnWordsworth]

@Komag: Are you certain of that (I should test it really). There was a crashing bug before XMas where if you defined onWakeUp but not onRest the the game would crash when you woke up! I know this is the opposite, and might also be fixed now, but I just wanted to highlight it incase!

[Komag]

I suppose I'm not certain, maybe something has changed in new version, worth testing to be sure (it doesn't make sense to me that the crash you rescind happens, sounds like a bug)

I'm using this no rest code in Onkalo project and have gotten no complaint about it:

Code: Select all

function restcheck()
 if party:isResting() == true then
 party:wakeUp(true)
 hudPrint("You feel at unease resting here.")
 end
end

This function is attached to a timer called no_rest_timer with 0 time and timer is started at start of game and running constantly. Yup I'm a lazy coder doing all the shortcuts

According to the releasenotes this has been fixed in version 1.3.6:

bug fix: crash when party stops resting and there is a onRest hook but no onWakeUp hook

Didn't test it though.
