Scripting Questions

bencebence · July 6, 2011

Hey everybody!

I have two questions:

- How can I bind a script to a reference? For example I can only mine if I'm near a vein? Figured it out.

- The second is a bit same, how can I bind a script to a reference, but this time you have to activate the reference to make it work.

Thanks in advance,

You could put an object script on an activator, and the script could use a "Begin OnActivate" block.

Thanks, I've solved it.

One more question:

Is there any way to make an activator have "hitpoints"? I want to make veins which will disappear after about 3-4 pickaxe hits. Do anyone know how to do that, or is it even possible?

You should first figure out how to let an activator recognise a pickaxe hit.OnHitWith works on activators but only with arrows. I guess you could make the vein an actor, but that would be kinda tricky.

You could try the following, but it is activated then.

Scn ScriptVeinHitpointsOrSomeOtherTitleIDoNotKnow

Short VeinHP

Begin OnActivate
Set VeinHP to VeinHP + 1
End

Begin GameMode
If (VeinHP == 4 )
   VeinRef.Disable
   Set VeinHP to 0
EndIf

This way, when activated four times, the vein will be disabled. However, the VeinHP can be reset when reloading the cell, I do not know for sure.

I don't want it to be reseted :P

Also here is the script I'm using:

Scriptname RaivenMineScript

short ready
short chance
short chanceIron
short chanceSilver
short chanceGold
short chanceGlass
short chanceEbony
short playhitsound

               else

               endif

How can I make an activator have the same reference?

bencebence · July 6, 2011

If I place down the veins, all of them have other references. This'd only work if there'd be only one reference, doesn't it? Edited July 6, 2011 by bencebence

bencebence · July 6, 2011

Then I will add a reference to every vein, and add them to the script like this:

	if (VeinHP == 4 )
	OreVeins.Disable
	OreVeins2.Disable
endIf

And this to 950000 :P

Hmm. I used the script and I have a problem. I can't gain any ores anymore. The script does not work now. Also the ore hp script does not work too.

The script looks like this now, and it does not seems to be working:

Oh I have missed something. The script should be applied on the vein:

Scn ScriptVeinHitpointsOrSomeOtherTitleIDoNotKnow

Short VeinHP
Ref ThisVein

Begin OnActivate
Set VeinHP to VeinHP + 1
End

Begin GameMode
Set ThisVein to GetSelf
If (VeinHP == 4 )
   ThisVein.Disable
   Set VeinHP to 0
EndIf

When you activate the vein four times, it should dissapear.

Try again and list what the problems in-game are and if it yields any compiler errors. Is it applied on a vein or on a quest or ... ?
