Nublette Requires Assistance with Scripting and Puzzles

[TheGreatCthulhu]

Is it possible to have an action on one map, let's say pulling a lever is the action, effect another map, opening a secret door?

Yes, and it's actually quite simple: all you need to do is set a global variable in one map, and check it's value in another.

These are the (predefined) script functions that you need to use:

PHP Code: (Select All)

void SetGlobalVarInt(string& varName, int value);
int GetGlobalVarInt(string& varName); 


Basically, in map1, inside your lever-callback simply check the position of the lever, and encode that position in a global variable using the SetGlobalVarInt() function. (Global variables are visible across maps.)

PHP Code: (Select All)

void OnLeverStateChanged(string &in entityID, int state)
{
    // The state parameter indicates the position of the lever;
    // it can be  -1 = off, 0 = between, 1 = on 

    SetGlobalVarInt("lever.map1", state);  // just pass the 'state' parameter along
} 


Note: "lever.map1" just identifies the global variable, you can replace it with anything you want.

Then, in map2, you inside check he variable's value inside the OnEnter() function:

PHP Code: (Select All)

void OnEnter()
{
    if(GetGlobalVarInt("lever.map1") == 1)  // remember, 1 means "on"
    {
        // put the code to unlock/open the door (or whatever) here
    }

    // the rest of the OnEnter() code goes here
}
