Resting quest

[xbdj]

How do you code a puzzle like "rest where the 2 dragons gaze"
Im guessing it must be some hook thing with onRest() function...but I cant quite wrap my head around it...

Preferrably I would like the puzzle to check where and how long the party rests

I would probably use the onRest hook, check for the party position (party.level, party.x, party.y - you could also use a hidden pressure plate that triggers a counter or something and check for that) and if it returns true I'd start a timer. Then you could use the onWakeUp hook to reset and stop the timer if the party wakes up to early. There may be a more elegant way, but this is what comes to my mind right now.

Sounds about right

But where to place that hook? Is that in some external lua file?
Or in a script entity in the editor?

ps: playing the Mine right now
Cool stuff...!

I think I figured it out
Cloned the party in a lua file and added the "onRest" hook...

by the way, the two statues gaze puzzle on level 5 doesn't require resting at all, just standing in that square for 31s (if you step off and back on the timer resets).

Ah ok, cool

Well...my wife decided that you need to actually rest for this puzzle, so I had to do the programming right
And not cheat like Almost Human

I discovered a lot of "cheating" going on throughout my rebuild, some interesting shortcuts that work well usually.
