In this case, I want to either mute the level_up sound—just once, or work out a better method that doesn't play the sound when a script improves the PC's skills.
It's not the only time this has come up... There are several internal sounds and other settings that I'd like to change on occasion, but I just don't know how to access them.

Hey guys,
i´m working on a room with burnt out torches the Player has to light up first.
Here is the Code i am using to light a torch up. Works just fine on inserting a torch to the torch holder.
Code: Select all
function torcheffekt()
torch1.particle:enable()
torch1.sound:enable()
torch1.light:enable()
end
I was wondering if i could make this more general, since i have a few more torches and i don´t really want every torch to hook up to an extra script.
Something like this.......only a Version of it that works. This may be pretty Basic stuff but i couldn´t find it anywhere else.
function torcheffekt(torch_holder)
torch_holder.particle:enable()
torch_holder.sound:enable()
torch_holder.light:enable()
end

Also why is this not working?
Code: Select all
spawn("mummy2",partylevel,4,22,0,partylevel).monster.onDie(hudPrint("Test"))

It is not "partylevel" but "party.level"

It's more than just party.level. The onDie() function isn't called like that, and when it
is called, it is given (automatically) the monster's table for use in the hook, and it has an optional return value that matters. (returning false cancels the death)
Try this:
Code: Select all
spawn("mummy2",party.level,4,22,0).monster:addConnector("onDie", self.go.id, "onDeathAction")
function onDeathAction(self)
hudPrint(tostring(self.go.name.." #"..self.go.id.." just died on level "..self.go.level.." at location "..self.go.x..","..self.go.y))
end
-- tostring() ensures it's a string, hudPrint() chokes on anything else

Hey Zardas!
Try this function (place in a scriptEntity called 'toggleAtorchScript')
the function args tParticle, tSound, tLight require a boolean each
>> true will enable the component, false will disable it
Code: Select all
function toggleAtorch(tHolderID, tParticle, tSound, tLight)
if not tHolderID then
return
end
local componentTab = {}
componentTab = {particle = tParticle, sound = tSound, light = tLight}
for comp, action in pairs(componentTab) do
--print(comp, action)
local thing = findEntity(tHolderID):getComponent(comp)
if action == true then
thing:enable()
else
thing:disable()
end
end
end
Eg - To only keep the light component enabled, call it like this:
Code: Select all
toggleAtorchScript.script.toggleAtorch("torch_holder_1", false, false, true)
EDIT: that function can be cut down and simplified a lot actually, will look at it later

Thanks for the answers guys. I made a few spawn commands with partylevel instead of party.level and they seem to be working just fine as well.
....
Anyways if you say it´s wrong that way it´s probably better for me to change it.

Hey guys,
How does the disableSelf() on Buttons work?
I have a button (disableSelf(true)) hooked up to a script, which spawns mummies. Tought it would make the button trigger only once, but it doesn´t seem to be working this way.
After that i tried it this way:
Code: Select all
function RemoveTombbuttonConnector
for i = 1, tombbutton.button:getConnectorCount() do
tombbutton.button:removeConnector(tombbutton.button:getConnector(i))
end
end
end
This should remove the Buttons Connectors. I can´t find the mistake in this one.
Can anyone help me?
