hi guys..

I have a problem (LOL)

1 - I want to stop the party moving for a period of time then after say 1 Minute they can move again.
this connected to a Pressure Plate and a Timer I assume.. (This code by it's self)..

2 How do I use: (rest function activates, via a Pressure Plate like in the Dream of the original game) Text appears like (where are we etc....) + sound Effects.
After say (1 mins) a teleporter sends them to a new room on the same level. And the Party wakes up...

I have no idea how to code the 2 scripts above.. I have checked the routine in the Wine Merchants Script, but I don't understand how to use the Coding..
I have noticed in the the Sunset scripting the person uses coding to mahe the party rest and go into a Dream world..(awesome coding), but again I don't how to implement it..

Pls help (Eleven Warrior)
Thank You

I can solve # 1 for you tomorrow or the next day. A script, courtesy of Mahric, many months ago. Very easy to implement. Trust me, you will be impressed by the pure simplicity of the vision he can summon regularly. #2 is literally 10 times more difficult. You would need the exclusive help of maybe 3 or 4 people that could pull that off in a convincing way. It is FAR more difficult than you imagine. Not trying to discourage you, but if it were me, I would attempt to find an alternative narrative. It has been done (and you could find it in Komag's "Master Quest" source files.) However, it is much testing and failing (ie:time), to understand what is limited by the engine on this topic.

msyblade Thank you wery much bro...Sry guys for being a Pain in the Butt

It will be awesome the 1st Question in my post completed.. ahy thxs

I tried hard to understand how Komags script works but(OMG) it's so complex..and your right it is 10 x more complexing than I
could imagine..but if I could pull it off...MAN YEAH...

If you guys could help me on Question 2..man I would be ever so greatful..imam sry I ask for so much, but I am trying so hard to learn what
you guys have done. At 50 yrs of age imam a little slow sry..I remember all the games I played from my Vic 20, Atari St and Ste, Commdore 64 etc.. LOL

Thank you

Hi Mysblade how r u..

How is the Coding going for the below Question?

1 - I want to stop the party moving for a period of time then after say 1 Minute they can move again.
this connected to a Pressure Plate and a Timer I assume.. (This code by it's self)..

Thxs

Hi buddy, got it ready for you. I'd like to say again, this is mahric's genius; I just latched on and used the hail out of it

Place this hook at the END of your init.lua:
Then make a counter in your dungeon named "cMove", and set it to "1". To stop the party, just hook a pressure plate or timer to DECREMENT the cMove counter to "0" (party will stop), and a timer set to whatever you need, to INCREMENT the counter back to "1" when you're ready.(party can move).
Use this same counter throughout the dungeon when you need to freeze the party, it's the only one you need, and it works across multiple floors. (Although timers from other floors will be slowed down, KEEP THAT IN MIND).

Hope this helps!

Hi Mysblade Thank you so much for the help...

This is my (init.lua) File.. If I add your coding in it wont that overright the first onMove function or the cloneObject.

I remember Diarmond saying this to me before, when he helped me with the (Sky System) and I have the Shop System in it as well..
I would like to add the following Functions as well but fear they will override both the Sky and Shop System (See below init.lua)..1 and 2..

Not sure how to add all the coding (plus your code) to my init.lua without Errors LOL..

import "mod_assets/gui/initgui.lua"

cloneObject {
name = "party",
baseObject = "party",
onDrawGui = function(g)
return gui.onDrawGui(g)
end,
onMove = function(self, dir)
skyScript.onMove(dir)
if (gui.globalVars["shopOn"]) then
return false
else
return true
end
end,
}

These are the two function I want to add if I can Thxs QuickBar and (2) SearchonFloor Modules..

1 - if ( search_script ~= nil and search_script.onDrawGui ~= nil ) then
search_script.onDrawGui(g);
end
end

2 - if ( qb_script ~= nil and qb_script.onDrawGui ~= nil ) then
qb_script.onDrawGui(g);
end

PS: Thxs once again for your time and how long till RRR2 comes out, it sounds cool...

I think you can combine them all, just use a "comma" after the last "end" of each entry. mash em all together, then test each one to make sure they work. Let me know if it doesn't, and paste the new code
