The first part of the code, the bit from the top of your post that you told me to make sure to paste into the same script entity, seems a bit odd. It's refering to entities and items without defining them...is that right?

Yes that's correct.. it's so you can pass it entities from your script.

I'm home for dinner and am just about to go out, so can't look at it right now, but when I get back on in a few hours I will create a test dungeon and set everything up.. then I can send you the working dungeon if necessary.

Redweaver wrote:Hmmmm...since that bit needs to be passed entities from the script, does it maybe need to come at the end?

Redweaver wrote:Also when testing, I get a message at the top of the screen: "Warning! Unknown spawner entity type: nil". That has to be related to the cloned monsters...any ideas? The correct monsters are coming out of the correct spawners correctly, so it's likely some kind of naming issue.

To give it a try, create a new dungeon in the editor, then close it and within Windows navigate to the folder:
Documents/Almost Human/Legend of Grimrock/Dungeons/NEW DUNGEON NAME/mod_assets/scripts
(substitute NEW DUNGEON NAME with the name of your new test dungeon)

Here you will find a file called dungeon.lua

Open this file with a text editor (e.g. notepad) and replace everything there with the following code. WARNING - DO NOT DO THIS WITH YOUR MAIN DUNGEON

Code: Select all

Save this file and then re-load the new dungeon in the editor... you will be presented with a single large room with 6 alcoves on the left.. 3 gems on the floor, a door a button and a daemon head... the combinations are 1,4,5 and 2,3,5 as per your previous posts...

It is working perfectly here.

-- This function returns true if the entity contains a given item.
-- It works for any entity that implements the containedItems() method.
function containsItem(entity,item)
  for i in entity:containedItems() do                  <--- attempt to call method "containedItems" (a nil value)
    if i.name == item then
      return true
    end
  end
-- if we get here the item was not found
  return false
end

Your wall button is set to hit the "checkAlcoves" script...the "real" part of the script. Mine says it's calling the "containsItem" script...the early part that's throwing the error. It populates itself with that call when I click the "add connector" button. How can I correct that?

Redweaver wrote: Done! Tested! Works perfectly!

So I combed through the code here and compared it letter by letter to the code in my main dungeon script entity. They are identical. It fails in my main dungeon. How can that be?

Put the gems in correctly, push the button, and...

Code: Select all

-- This function returns true if the entity contains a given item.
-- It works for any entity that implements the containedItems() method.
function containsItem(entity,item)
  for i in entity:containedItems() do                  <--- attempt to call method "containedItems" (a nil value)
    if i.name == item then
      return true
    end
  end
-- if we get here the item was not found
  return false
end

Ugh.

As early as that error comes, it seems like it's not even getting into the "real" script.

Did I break my editor somehow?

That fixed it. I used the dropdown to point it at the correct function. It works now. Thanks, Grim.

Now...what is it that the mouth socket accepts natively?
