Disable script not working correctly

[DsoS]

so I'm trying to disable a rock when it falls and hit a trigger zone with the script shown below. However, when the rock falls and hits the trigger zone it does NOT disable. Why would it not disable?

FallingRock01 is the REF ID and set to persistent.

short triggered


begin onTrigger FallingRock01


	if triggered == 0

		FallingRock01.disable

		set triggered to 1

	endif


end

Any idea why the rock isn't being disabled when it hits the triggerzone (thats 100 units below the stupid thing)??

Quite a silly question, is the Triggerzone attached the script?

lol yes it is. I first checked that when it didn't disable the first time, and just checked again to make sure

and no that's not a silly question

Is the 'rock' part of a trap? If so, it may become a new object when its triggered.

Put a button in that 'forces' the disable and enable of the rock at any time just to make sure.

short myS

begin OnActivate

	if myS == 0

		set myS to 1

		FallingRock01.disable

	else

		set myS to 0

		FallingRock01.enable

	endif

end[/code]


It may also be that its not actually triggering the zone...


You might also have to remove the reference name from the 'OnTrigger' block and add a check in the script for the rock instead.

no the rock is not a trap.

I have the rock where it will fall once stepped on by the player. I wasn't looking to use a button to activate it.

I'll try out what you suggested.

Thank You Willie!

The button is just to make sure it is able to be 'disabled'. Try it before and after the rock was triggered.

My script will disable on first use, then enable the rock on the next use of the button. Then repeat.

[DsoS]

Ah okay, I understand.

The switch this there to make sure the rock can actually be disabled.

I'll try it out again.

Sorry this week hasn't been the best for me
