Push Block problem ~sort of...

[Drakkan]

guys pls help with script, I need door1 to be opened when three pushable_floor_triggers (called trigger1, trigger2, trigger3) have pushable_block (called block1, block2, block3) on them. I tried to play with counters, but there is only activation by item, not by object :/
Also there should be some plate(plate1), which when activated, will teleport block1-3 to its original position (reset). Thanks for any help

Place this in a script and connect all three plates.

Code: Select all

function checkBlocks()
	local plate = {
				   {trigger1.x, trigger1.y},
				   {trigger2.x, trigger2.y},
				   {trigger3.x, trigger3.y}
				  }
				 
	local block = {
				   {block1.x, block1.y},
				   {block2.x, block2.y},
				   {block3.x, block3.y}
				  }
			
 	for z = 1, 3 do
		for w = 1,#plate do
			if plate[z][w] ~= block[z][w] then
				return
			end
		end
	end
	door1.door:open()
end

thanks a lot man, but not sure why, nothing is happening, door wont open. Do I need to place some invisible platform under pushable_triggers or something like that ? is this script working for you ?

It's working for me... You need three blocks and three trigger plates... with the names you listed. Each plate needs an onActivate connection to the script.

found the problem. Script is written that block 1 need to be on trigger1, block2 on trigger2 and block3 on trigger3. Actually what I need is just when all blocks are placed on triggers (no matter on numbers) door will be opened.

Aha... that was the deliberate feature of the script, and why it was written that way.
*I misunderstood your earlier post as ~that~ being the challenge that needed scripting.

There is another Push-Block problem; (technically it's a feature? It's worked around in the game, so it's surely known). Push-Blocks ignore collisions with doors... This ruins the option to use the mine-spear gates in push-block puzzles.

*This would be the first Glögg feature that I'd ask for ~after gravity support for push-blocks, of course; (with descend-able ladders coming in third).

well now it seems that puzle have just one solution so I think script shoudl work when I just change objects accordingly
do you see any way ho to script plate which will reset all blocks to its original position when triggered (by party) ?

...do you see any way ho to script plate which will reset all blocks to its original position when triggered (by party) ?

You can destroy and respawn them... but if you mean slide them back to their initial locations... maybe, but we'll have to wait for the scripting reference to be released.

If there is a way to push blocks via script, then it should be doable to have them either store the moves and play them back in reverse, or have them follow the shortest path to their starting positions.

destroy and respawn is definitely fine, no need for some sliding back

If you use a button or lever and place it such that the blocks are not in sight when it's used, that would look better I think.

As for scripting it... replace the original script with this one, and connect a button to the 'resetBlocks' function.

Code: Select all

function _definePlatesAndBlocks()
		plate = {
				   {trigger1.x, trigger1.y},
				   {trigger2.x, trigger2.y},
				   {trigger3.x, trigger3.y}
				  }

		block = {
				   {block1.x, block1.y},
				   {block2.x, block2.y},
				   {block3.x, block3.y}
				  }	
end
_definePlatesAndBlocks()

function checkBlocks()
    for z = 1, #plate do
		local stone = findEntity("block"..z)
         if plate[z][1] ~= stone.x or
			plate[z][2] ~= stone.y then
            return
         end
   end
  door1.door:open()
end

function resetBlocks()
print()
	for z = 1,3 do
		local tempName = "block"..z
		findEntity(tempName):destroy()
		spawn("pushable_block", self.go.level, block[z][1], block[z][2], math.random(3), self.go.height, tempName)
	end
end

thanks a lot Isaac, that reseting works perfectly exactly as I wanted ! I will credit you for sure.

From their explanation of components, things sounded very easy to change.
I wonder if its as easy as it sounds, now that I know of such things as:

"GravityComponent (Component)
Makes the object fall unless it is on ground or supported by a surface or a platform."
