Variable not setting - Damascus - 06-18-2012
This stupid puzzle is still giving me a headache. I've set up a crank that raises a weight (as stated in an older thread), and when you wind it up, it is supposed to become stuck and set a variable. In the RaiseWeight function, everything works except for apparently the variable becoming one.
After I raise the weight, the light comes on and it becomes stuck, but when i go over to test the lever, it keeps playing the "notwound" message and does not become stuck.
PHP Code:
void OnStart()
{
SetEntityConnectionStateChangeCallback("lever_simple01_2", "Lever2");
SetEntityConnectionStateChangeCallback("crank_iron_1", "RaiseWeight");
}
void RaiseWeight(string &in asEntity, int alState)
{
if (alState == 1)
{
SetWheelStuckState("crank_iron_1", 1, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "fizzle", "light_electric_1", 0.0f, false);
SetLampLit("light_electric_1", true, true);
SetGlobalVarInt("WeightRaised", 1);
}
}
void Lever2(string &in asEntity, int alState)
{
if (alState == 1)
{
if (GetLocalVarInt("WeightRaised") == 1)
{
SetLocalVarInt("PistonLevers", 1);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "lever_mech_min_max", "lever_simple01_2", 0.0f, false);
SetLeverStuckState("lever_simple01_2", 1, true);
AddTimer("WatchDisappear", RandFloat(10.0f, 30.0f), "WatchDisappear");
}
else
{
SetMessage("Ch03Misc", "notwound", 0);
}
}
}

Add debug messages to make sure the lever is going to state 1. It could be going to state -1. Same with the wheel. Check its state with a debug message AddDebugMessage("state: "+alState, false);
I see no other way you could be getting this bug. Also, instead of setting the variable when the wheel reaches a certain state, do it when the weight object enters/exits a certain area. I've done that before and had everything turn out fine and dandy.

Crap. I see what i did wrong now. I was setting a GLOBAL variable and checking a LOCAL variable. It's stupid mistakes like these that I only see after posting a thread about it.

Haha! It's the smallest of mistakes that get the best of us.
