What i'm looking for is to get that "+" sign, that lets you add connectors (inside the editor) to a component, to work on a ControllerComponent.
Same as you have on for example a LeverComponent.
For now i am using a LeverComponent instead of a ControllerComponent. but then i need to add an dummy animation, that returns false. Also i get warnings when i don't have an model.
This is just something minor but wanted to ask in case I missed something.

This functionality doesn't exist. ControllerComponent doesn't have any connector events. However, instead of using LeverComponent for your hack, you should just use CounterComponent.

Is it possible to test the existence of a file or list the content of a directory ? Still learning Lua, I just found that the standard io library is unknown in grimrock scripting ?

No. If it were, it would be an enormous security hole.

Security holes are fun !!! I was trying to access the portraits directory to populate taverns with generated recruitable champions.

Ok i am trying to call a function inside a script_entity form another script_entity but cannot get it to work...
Example:
script_entity_1
Code: Select all
function startSequence()
print("Sequence started...")
delayedCall(self.go.id, 1, "sfireball")
delayedCall(self.go.id, 1.5, "firstEvent")
delayedCall(self.go.id, 10, "secondEvent")
end
function firstEvent()
print("This script is run 1.5 seconds after the start.")
end
function secondEvent()
print("This is printed 10 seconds after start.")
end
function sfireball()
script_entity_2.fireaway() -- This is where i get an error
end
script_entity_2
Code: Select all
function fireAway()
spawn("fireball_small",1,14,15,1,0)
end
I get error attempt to call field 'fireAway' (a nil value)
What am i doing wrong??

script_entity_2.script.fireAway() not script_entity_2.fireaway()

This is because the *.script is a script component in the object.

So my scripting is not that good....
i am trying to reset a series of pressure plates
allPlates is the ID's of my pressure plates.
I want to just enable all those plates by a trigger, but i also want to figure out how to use an array to store variables to use in loops.
Here is the code i am trying to get to work but it won't.
Code: Select all
function Plates()
local allPlates = {"T1_Plate1", "T1_Plate2", "T1_Plate3", "T1_Plate4", "T1_Plate5", "T1_Plate6", "T1_Plate7", "T1_Plate8", "T1_Plate9", "T1_Plate10"}
--print (allPlates)
for i=1,10 do allPlates[i].floortrigger:enable(true)
end
end
Thanks for the help...
