Script Help Lever Puzzle Help

**RurouniMori** · 05-09-2013, 10:05 PM

I'm trying to make a lever puzzle where after three levers are pulled in a certain order, a painting slides, and a key falls. I've made a fair amount of progress on my script so far as a whole, but I'd definitely still say I'm a noob. XP I'm having issues getting the levers to work and therefore, for the puzzle to work at all.

Basically, what I want to happen is:
1. Read a note that has a riddle on it, levers are made active.
2. Pull lever1, lever2, then lever3 in order.
3. The painting slides over, key is made active, it falls, puzzle solved.

I don't know how to make it so the levers lock after use, that way you know you pulled it in the right direction and it worked. And if I can figure out or get help how to do this, how can I reset it if they do it wrong?

Here's my script (just the puzzle related info):

Code: (Select All)

////////////////////////////

// Run first time starting map

void OnEnter()

{

        SetEntityCallbackFunc("puzzlenote", "OnRead");

        SetEntityConnectionStateChangeCallback("lever1", "LeverStateChange");

        SetEntityConnectionStateChangeCallback("lever2", "LeverStateChange");

        SetEntityConnectionStateChangeCallback("lever3", "LeverStateChange");

}



void OnRead(string &in asEntity, string &in type)

{

        AddQuest("puzzle", "puzzle");

        SetEntityActive("lever1", true);

        SetEntityActive("lever2", true);

        SetEntityActive("lever3", true);

}

void LeverStateChange(string &in asEntity, int alState)

{

        if((GetLeverState("lever1") == 1) && (GetLeverState("lever2") == 1) && (GetLeverState("lever3") == 1)) 

        {

            PlaySoundAtEntity("","level_wood_min_max01.snt", "lever3", 0, false);

            AddPropForce("themaiden", 200, 0, 0, "mylordscurse_1");

            AddTimer("", 2, "PaintingMove");

            SetEntityInteractionDisabled("lever1", true);

            SetEntityInteractionDisabled("lever2", true);

            SetEntityInteractionDisabled("lever3", true);

        }

}

void PaintingMove(string &in asTimer)

{

        SetEntityActive("chapter2key", true);

        SetPlayerSanity(90);

        PlayMusic("10_puzzle01.ogg", false, 0.7, 0.1, 10, false);

}

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

As far as sticking the lever goes, use this:

PHP Code: (Select All)

SetLeverStuckState(string& asName, int alState, bool abEffects);

I'll look into your other script.

To reset, add an else if like this.

PHP Code: (Select All)

void LeverStateChange(string &in asEntity, int alState)
{
if((GetLeverState("lever1") == 1) && (GetLeverState("lever2") == 1) && (GetLeverState("lever3") == 1)) 
{
PlaySoundAtEntity("","level_wood_min_max01.snt", "lever3", 0, false);
AddPropForce("themaiden", 200, 0, 0, "mylordscurse_1");
AddTimer("", 2, "PaintingMove");
SetEntityInteractionDisabled("lever1", true);
SetEntityInteractionDisabled("lever2", true);
SetEntityInteractionDisabled("lever3", true);
}

else if
{
//EFFECTS
}
}

Ok, try this out.

Basically what's happening is that a variable is incremented each time you pull a lever, which is locked in place. (But if it's the correct lever, a separate variable is incremented.) This repeats until all 3 levers are pulled and function checks to see if the levers were pulled in the correct order.

Add these to OnStart, first:

PHP Code: (Select All)

SetLocalVarInt("Lever",0);
SetLocalVarInt("Correct",0);
SetEntityConnectionStateChangeCallback("lever_nice01_*", "LeverCallback");

Here's the main function:

Spoiler below!

PHP Code: (Select All)

void LeverCallback(string &in asEntity, int alState)
        {    
            AddDebugMessage("Lever "+asEntity + " "+alState,false);
            
            if(alState == 1)
            {
            
                if(GetLocalVarInt("Lever") == 0)
                {
                    if(asEntity == "lever_nice01_1")
                    {
                        SetLeverStuckState(asEntity, 1, true);
                        AddLocalVarInt("Lever",1);
                        AddDebugMessage(asEntity,false);
                    }
                    
                    else if(asEntity == "lever_nice01_2")
                    {
                        AddLocalVarInt("Correct",1);
                        AddDebugMessage(asEntity,false);
                        SetLeverStuckState(asEntity, 1, true);
                        AddLocalVarInt("Lever",1);
                    }
                    
                    else if(asEntity == "lever_nice01_3")
                    {
                        SetLeverStuckState(asEntity, 1, true);
                        AddLocalVarInt("Lever",1);
                        AddDebugMessage(asEntity,false);
                    }    
                }
                
                else if(GetLocalVarInt("Lever") == 1)
                {
                    if(asEntity == "lever_nice01_1")
                    {
                        SetLeverStuckState(asEntity, 1, true);
                        AddLocalVarInt("Lever",1);

                    {

                        SetLeverStuckState(asEntity, 1, true);
                        AddLocalVarInt("Lever",1);

                    {
                        SetLeverStuckState(asEntity, 1, true);
                        AddLocalVarInt("Lever",1);
                        AddDebugMessage(asEntity,false);
                        AddLocalVarInt("Correct",1);
                    }    
                }

And a continuation...

PHP Code: (Select All)

                else if(GetLocalVarInt("Lever") == 2)
                {
                    if(asEntity == "lever_nice01_1")
                    {
                        SetLeverStuckState(asEntity, 1, true);
                        
                        AddDebugMessage(asEntity,false);
                        AddLocalVarInt("Correct",1);
                        CheckLever();
                    }
                    
                    else if(asEntity == "lever_nice01_2")
                    {
                        AddDebugMessage(asEntity,false);
                        SetLeverStuckState(asEntity, 1, true);
                
                        CheckLever();
                    }
                    
                    else if(asEntity == "lever_nice01_3")
                    {
                        SetLeverStuckState(asEntity, 1, true);
                        
                        AddDebugMessage(asEntity,false);
                        CheckLever();
                    }    
                }
            }
        }

This is the function that checks the order:

Okay, so I got it all in there, I edited to fit my script and map.

The levers go into a position and lock, that's exactly what I want. If you move them in the wrong order, it resets and makes the sounds I want. BUT it does not do as I want when it IS in the right order. It just resets. Did I miss something?

Again, what I want to happen, is the painting I have to move, the key to be made active, and fall out.

OnEnter Script:

Quote:SetLocalVarInt("Lever",0);
SetLocalVarInt("Correct",0);
SetEntityConnectionStateChangeCallback("lever1", "LeverCallback");
SetEntityConnectionStateChangeCallback("lever2", "LeverCallback");
SetEntityConnectionStateChangeCallback("lever3", "LeverCallback");

}

When I was testing it, I set the correct order to 231. That might not be what you like. =p

You can modify it by changing where the "Correct" variable appears.
