Scripting Crashes, VERY CONFUSED

[JoeyGodard]

This is in reference to the Grimrock 2 editor.

So I'm very new to the Dungeon Editor, and I also have very little scripting experience. That said, I am a logical person and I can follow instructions well. I've been trying to get simple scripts to fire off when pulling levers/inserting items onto alcoves to open doors. Nothing complicated. I keep having problems with calling ID names it seems. I've tried to recreate the scripts below; while everything is named and connected properly, I keep getting "attempt to call method(whatever ID name) a nil value x. Am I missing something completely obvious?

---

function checkLevers()
if combination_lever_1.lever:isActivated() and not combination_lever_2.lever:isActivated() and combination_lever_3.lever:isActivated() then
combination_door.door:open()
else
combination_door.door:close()
end
end

---

and this:

function itemPuzzle()
-- iterate through all contained items on alcove, checking for a matching name
for i in itemPuzzleAlcove:containedItems() do
if i.name == "pitroot_bread" then
playSound("level_up")
break
end
end
end

No, you're on the right track. do not become frustrated, you are using old code on a new code game. Wait, be patient, the answers will come, you are simply in a hurry, before the answers are here.they are on the way. The solution makes so much more sense than becoming frustrated and leaving sensibility behind. The answers are on the way, slow down, take a breath. It's cool.

Just spyed some scripts in .dat file With this code you can check alcoves for specific items:

Code: Select all

function surfaceContains(surface, item)
	for _,i in surface:contents() do
		if i.go.name == item then return true end
	end
end

function checkAlcove(alcove)
	if surfaceContains( my_alcove.surface, "figure_skeleton") then
         my_door.door:open()		 
    else    
        my_door.door:close()
    end
end
