Author Topic: Area Transition on Snowy Pine Tree (placeable) (Read 764 times)

Legacy_Artine · « **on:** November 25, 2010, 12:01:03 am »

I'm new to scripting (looking-at-noobscorner.Jassper.com-new), and I've set up a Christmas Module (I plan to release this on the vault later), but it's really just in the works as of this moment. The closest I've come, manually without scripting, is to draw an area transition that is placed below the tree, to have the tree itself be highlighted and therefore clickable. I want to eliminate this though and instead make the tree clickable, and when clicked it will take the player back to the main area. It would help if I could link the tree's area transition to a door, if possible.
Thanks in advance '<img

Edit: Also, if someone could figure out how to make it snow inside (I've spent a few days searching and haven't found any), that would be cool too '<img

Put this script in the tree's OnUsed event (change DoorTag to your door's tag):


void main()
{
object oPC = GetLastUsedBy();
object oDoor = GetObjectByTag("DoorTag");
AssignCommand(oPC, JumpToLocation(GetLocation(oDoor)));
}

Go to the Advanced tab of the area's properties and change the Terrain Type from Interior to Exterior then go to the Visual tab, customize environment and set the snow to 100%.

You would also need to mark the tree itself as Usable instead of Static, and, preferably, set Plot (indestructible) flag on it, too.

Also, just transitioning on use could not be too fun if you don't mean it as a surprise -- do that after a short conversation, or on a second and subsequent use, instead

void main()

{

object oPC = GetLastUsedBy();

int iTalked = GetLocalInt (oPC, "treeopen");

if (iTalked)

{

object oDoor = GetObjectByTag("DoorTag");

AssignCommand(oPC, JumpToLocation(GetLocation(oDoor)));

}

else

{

SpeakString ("Blah blah blabber blah");

SetLocalInt (oPC, "treeopen", TRUE);

}

}

Make a fun module? '<img

That's the goal, and I'll definitely have more questions, but... '<img
