Hey all, i need help with a scriot i was given

[DaMage]

okay, a while back i was givent the following script by WillieSea, and it has worked fine, up until today when i started fiddling with it recently, now its stopped again. i tried restarting from his orginal script, but even then it didnt work. if someone here, or Williesea, could help it would be much apperiated as it the final thing to do on the LSotA patch.

thanks

scn ASCutscenestarterscriptshort triggeredfloat timerbegin onTrigger playerif triggered == 0set triggered to 1endifendbegin GameMode	if triggered > 0		if timer > 0			set timer to timer - GetSecondsPassed			return		endif	if triggered == 1		ASEndlight01.enable		set timer to 2		set triggered to 2	elseif triggered == 2		ASEndlight02.enable		set timer to 2		set triggered to 3	elseif triggered == 3		ASEndlight03.enable		set timer to 2		set triggered to 4	elseif triggered == 4		ASEndlight04.enable		set timer to 2		set triggered to 5	elseif triggered == 5		ASEndlight05.disable		set triggered to 0	endifendifend

In the first block, I believe you "Begin On Activate"  -  On Trigger will not work AFAIK.

Also within the same triggering block I thnk you create a loop. I think you want a DoOnce in that block.  

like this:

scn ASCutscenestarterscriptshort doneshort triggeredfloat timerbegin onactivate if triggered == 0 && done == 0 set triggered to 1set done to 1endifendbegin GameMode	if triggered > 0 && done == 1		if timer > 0			set timer to timer - GetSecondsPassed			return		endif	if triggered == 1		ASEndlight01.enable		set timer to 2		set triggered to 2	elseif triggered == 2		ASEndlight02.enable		set timer to 2		set triggered to 3	elseif triggered == 3		ASEndlight03.enable		set timer to 2		set triggered to 4	elseif triggered == 4		ASEndlight04.enable		set timer to 2		set triggered to 5	elseif triggered == 5		ASEndlight05.disable		set triggered to 0      set done to 2	endifendifend

Hope it helps!

well it has to be ontrigger becuase well....its a trigger.

and that looping should stop it from working, ill fix it though.

[WillieSea]

The 'OnTrigger' only works on TriggerZone objects reliably. What object are you attaching the script to?

They may not work on other objects, at least not reliably.

@Grond, adding the second "control variable" of 'done' does not do any good. The variable 'triggered' will work fine.

Plus, your script will only run once, since you never reset 'done' back to '0'.

Answer me question DaMage, and we will debug this issue.

[DaMage]

yeah, its on a trigger zone. however, now that you mention it....i have an idea of what went wrong, its stupid but i have done it before.

well i did screw up, the trigger wasnt accessiable, but when i moved it into to place i found a new error.

the first 4 lights turn on, but the fifth doesnt. its weird. the fifth also has a number of fires childled to it, so because it doesnt enable, neither do they.

[WillieSea]

Are you supposed to 'disable' the 5th one? That is what your script is doing, not 'enable' like the first 4.

[DaMage]

oh...i feel like such an idiot, thanks it work now.

man, you miss the smalliest things.

...shoulda kept my trap closed...it's been too long of a while since I worked with scripts.   Good to see it's working!

[WillieSea]

Sorry grond! Really, I did not mean to insult you.

I write code for a living and sometimes just bluntly say what I think. I know its no excuse, but I hope you can forgive my apparent arrogance.

Sorry again.
