Terminal Variable Help

[TheDrunkenSoviet]

I am trying to make a terminal that controls the silo door from Lonesome Roads Hopeville's silo it works and is fine, but I'm having trouble using the variables that make the options to open and close appear when they need to. I don't want both to be on the screen at the same time but to use variables as follows..

 

Only display the Open Command when the it is closed.

Only display the Close Command when the it is open.

 

And switch the two when its activated.

 

Anyway if that makes sense.

You can add a condition to each option, checking whether the door is opened or closed.

Use GetOpenState on the door reference. If it equals 1 - the door is open; 3 - the door is closed.

The problem is the Silo door is a unique object and i have to call the PlayGroup with the script

[jazzisparis]

I see. Well, in that case:

- Create a new global variable.

- Have the "Open" option set it to 1; the "Close" option set it to 0.

- Use GetGlobalValue as a condition to determine which option should be visible/hidden.

Ok thanks

I've never used globals before how, google don't do anything !

You can add new globals by going to Gameplay>Globals, then right-click, select 'New' and give it a unique name (you can leave the other settings as the are). You can then use that global variable in scripts, exactly as you would use any "local" variable. In conditions (for options in terminals, messageboxes, perk etc.), when you need to check the value of a global variable, you can use GetGlobalValue.

I hope that covers it for you.
