Do something when wheel is on its limit - Neo - 11-30-2013

Hey there Smile

I've got a problem with the wheels again Confused I found out how to execute code when the player interacts with a valve or so, but then you just need to click on it one time, and I want to do something when you spin the wheel to the limit. Is it possible? :/ I haven't found a function for this yet...

It would be very kind if someone could help me Smile

here is an example you can copy paste:

///////OpenHeavyDoor///////
void OpenheavyDoor(string &in asEntity, int alState)
{
if(alState == 1) //Meaning wheel is "toutching" MAX
{
SetWheelStuckState("YOURWHEELNAME", 1, true); //Sets the wheel STUCK so you can't spin it anymore.
//STUFF YOU WANT TO HAPPEN IF WHEEL goes to MAX, can be empty if you only want something happen on MINUMUM.
}
if(alState == -1) //Meaning wheel is "toutching" MINIMUM
{
//STUFF YOU WANT TO HAPPEN IF WHEEL goes to MIMIMUM, can be empty if you only want something happen on MAX.
}
}

-----
void OpenheavyDoor(string &in asEntity, int alState)
The OpenheavyDoor copy paste this into your EDITOR -> YOURWHEEL -> ENTITIY-tab -> CONNECTCHANGESTATECALLBACK.

EXTRA EDIT:
// <-- If you remove those 2 slashes, that specific line will work, // is only for giving you an idea. so remove it if you want to use the function.

Have fun, if it didnt work, be free to ask here.

Ahh, it works! Thank you very much! I just needed to find out how to execute code when the wheel is at maximum

My code:

Spoiler below!

//////////////////WATER PIPES AND PUMPS
//BEGIN
//////////////////If this won't work so well use the if and else statement

void Valve_01(string &in asEntity, int alState)
{

if(alState == 1)
{
SetWheelStuckState("water_valve01", 1, true);
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "Stream_pipe", "water_valve01", 0, false);
SetMessage("Message", "Sound_Water", 5);
SetEntityActive("red", false);
SetEntityActive("green", true);
SetEntityActive("high", true);
SetEntityActive("low", false);
}

}

void Watervalve01(string &in asEntity)
{

if (GetGlobalVarString("Pipe01") == "PumpActivated")
{
SetWheelStuckState("water_valve01", 0, true);
}
else
{
SetMessage("Message", "Pipe", 3);
}
}

void Waterpump01(string &in asEntity)
{
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "Steam_pipe", "water_pump01", 0, false);
SetGlobalVarString("Pipe01", "PumpActivated");
SetEntityInteractionDisabled("water_pump01", true);
SetWheelInteractionDisablesStuck("water_valve01", true);
}

//////////////////WATER PIPES AND PUMPS
//END
//////////////////



I created a string variable. When you touch the wheel before the pump was activated, it displays a message and does nothing else. If you activate the pump the variable changes. Now the wheel isn't stuck anymore and you can spin it.

Thanks!
