Control Room Bug

[Running Scared]

Hi

I took some screenshots of the bug I'm experiencing see below. I 've tried reloading previous saved games but with no luck. I don't want to start over for this to happen again. (just to scary)

Where the weight supposed to be.

Chain stretches across the room through the wall.

Have you tried leaving and re-entering the Control Room? There is a problem with the save states of individual rooms (all objects/doors in default positions) and it may revert the weights back to their normal positions.

Something as glitched badly. You will need to load a save game before entering the control room.

Thanks for the feedback

Yes I've tried re-entering the Control Room, it defaults two of the weights back to original positions but the first one still remains stuck, my saved games only go back to the start of the cistern and when I load that saved game the weight is still stuck, I've even tried throwing box's at the stuck weight but that didn't work lol. I'm thinking my saved games maybe corrupt, if so I'll have to re-start the game.

You could change the script to add an impulse to the weight in the OnEnter() function.

If you could point me in the right area. I've looked at the "17_control_room.hps" and found The OnEnter() function but I have no knowledge how to add an impulse in the script.

Thanks in advance

You have to find the name of the weight, by looking at the .map file.

I'm not sure what the name of the weight model actually is... But these entities has something to do with chains/weights, at least. You could apply an impulse to all of them.

Ton_Chain01_End_Left
Ton_Chain02_End_Left
Ton_Chain03_End_Left
Mount_Chain03_Start_Left
Mount_Chain02_Start_Left
Wheel_Chain01_End_Left
Wheel_Chain03_End_Left
Wheel_Chain02_End_Left

Ton_Chain01_End_Right
Ton_Chain02_End_Right
Ton_Chain03_End_Right
Mount_Chain03_Start_Right
Mount_Chain02_Start_Right

Then on a line in the OnEnter() function, you'd do something like

Code: (Select All)

AddPropImpulse("Wheel_Chain01_End_Left", 100, 0, 0, "World")

Which would add an impulse to the entity named "Wheel_Chain01_End_Left" (100 (newtons?) on the X-axis).

Function syntax:

Code: (Select All)

AddPropImpulse(string &in asName, float afX, float afY, float afZ, string &in asCoordSystem)

Thanks for all the help I've fixed it

In the 17_control_room.map I was able to move the world location of the Mount_Chain03_Start_Left and Ton_Chain03_End_Left just enough to put it back in the room.

Cheers,

Now I can keep on running scared
