[SCRIPT] Candle scripting help

Or, you could keep track of your recent lit candle with a prevCandle and curCandle. (Previous and current).

You'll also need a variable to keep track of how many you currently have in-a-row. Set that variable to 1.
When player lights a second candle, check to see if it's next in line:

PHP Code: (Select All)

int prevCandle = 0;
int combo = 1;
void OnStart()
{
     for(int x = 1; x <= 5; x++)
     {
          SetEntityCallbackFunc("candlestick_wall_"+x, "MyFunc");
     }
}

void MyFunc(string &in asEntity, string &in type) //This function is ran when a player interacts with a candle
{
//GET WHICH CANDLE NUMBER. In my case I have candles candlestick_wall_1 thru candlestick_wall_5
for(int x = 1; x <= 5; x++)
{
     if(asEntity == "candlestick_wall_"+x)
     {
          int curCandle = x;
     }
}

if(curCandle == (prevCandle + 1))
{
     combo++;
}
else
{
     combo = 1; //if they break the combo, set combo back to 1.
//also, set all the candles here to turn off as to restart the puzzle
curCandle = 0; //This allows you to start from 1 again.
}
//now check for if you have lit candle 5 while keeping the combo up

if(combo == 5 && curCandle == 5)
{
     //run code for solving  puzzle here
     return;
}

//At the end of this block, make sure you set the curCandle to prevCandle
prevCandle = curCandle;
}
