want to open a door when a spell is cast

[lujan]

Hi all,

I want to open a door when a spell (light spell) is cast, i looked for in all threads but haven't found the right script,


any tip for me?

You would add an onCastSpell hook to the party (or possibly onCast to the spell itself)

[Grimfan]

Or implement the zo spell from the Exsp framework (it is not a light spell however, and you need the exsp framework [and hence the JKos framework] to use it properly I think)

Thx for your answer even if i don't understand anything :p

i tried that but it does not work, i don't know what is wrong:
hidden treasure plate connected to a script,
script :

function open()
if party:getChampion(1): onCast :"firebusrt"
then
temple_door_1 : open()
else
temple_door_1 : close()
end

I don't know how to do hook.

onCastSpell is a hook only for party, not in script_entity
http://www.grimrock.net/modding/asset-d ... reference/

You must open the init.lua

and add

Code: Select all

cloneObject{
      name = "party",
      baseObject = "party",
       onCastSpell = function( self , spell )
        if spell.name == "fireburst" then
your_script_entity.your_function()
end

   end,  	  
    }

As an alternative, you could change the spell to fireball, and place a hidden receptor over the door. Damonya's hook will work perfect tho.

I think receptor on door doesn't work. Receptors works only against wall.

Otherwise, you have to change the model of the receptor
