Zxquez Zolohahni Infiltrator Member # 2104	written Saturday, August 7 2004 19:30 Profile Homepage #0 I can't seem to get set_terrain_memory_cell to work. The code for it I put in is set_terrain_memory_cell(8,0,0); Yet, when I try the door that has terrain script eight, memory cell 0's value doesn't change to zero, so I can't get in. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks. -------------------- —Zxquez Zolohahni Xerch'de/Rate. Posts: 549 \| Registered: Thursday, October 17 2002 07:00

For debugging, usually I add a print_str to a state to make sure that it's being called when I think it's being called. Your syntax looks fine, and if you're not getting an error message, that's probably not the problem. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Zxquez Zolohahni Infiltrator Member # 2104	written Saturday, August 7 2004 19:50 Profile Homepage #2 I don't see how I'd implement an SDF with it. Here's the immediate surrounding code, anyway: -------------------- —Zxquez Zolohahni Xerch'de/Rate. Posts: 549 \| Registered: Thursday, October 17 2002 07:00
Garrison Agent Member # 2820	written Saturday, August 7 2004 19:55 Profile #3 Errhmm, this is a complex problem, since the door script is the most common, and most complex, default terrain script. The script doesn't check for memory cell 0 to check to see if it is locked. You must unlock it with an SDF, or give that particular door a special script for this to work. EDIT: You could use either the 2 flags you just set or a different one. There are thousands to choose from. The effect from the flag will be immediate and the door will unlock when you step into it. In case you don't know, Terrain memory cells 2 and 3 are the SDF coordinates in the door script. If sdf(cell 2, cell 3) = 0, door is untouched, if greater than 0, than it is unlocked. Period.

Zxquez Zolohahni Infiltrator Member # 2104	written Saturday, August 7 2004 19:58 Profile Homepage #4 But doesn't memory cell 0 set the difficulty of unlocking a door: 0 is unlocked, and any higher is locked? Thus, changing it to 0 would allow someone to enter it without having to unlock it, correct?

Garrison Agent Member # 2820	written Saturday, August 7 2004 20:05 Profile #5 Look at the door script yourself. Most importantly, memory cell 0 is ONLY checked in INIT_STATE to initialize the locking difficulty and to set i_am_locked to TRUE. But the SDF is checked every time you walk into a door that isn't open. Cell 0 is only good for initialization. -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.

Zxquez Zolohahni Infiltrator Member # 2104	written Saturday, August 7 2004 20:08 Profile Homepage #6 Ok. So, how would I use an SDF to allow someone to open a door, when they already cannot? That's the part I don't understand. Now. -------------------- —Zxquez Zolohahni Xerch'de/Rate. Posts: 549 \| Registered: Thursday, October 17 2002 07:00
Garrison Agent Member # 2820	written Saturday, August 7 2004 21:27 Profile #7 Grrr... I just explained that in my first post. You know that most of the time a locked door will stay locked when you leave the town and come back? But sometimes it stays unlocked? The reason why it stays unlocked is usually because of an SDF that was set [to a number greater than 0] the first time you unlocked the door. The coordinates of the SDF to be set to 1 is stored in the door's memory cells 2 and 3. If cell 2 = 5 and cell 3 = 0, then your code that you provided would cause your door to unlock upon contact with the party. This is because SDF{5,0} was set to 1 in your code, which, to the door script, means that the door has been unlocked. It is very preferable to set this value in the editor, just like where you set up cell 0 for its lock difficulty. Set the door's memory cell 2 to 5 and cell 3 to 0 and then test it again. If it doesn't work, come back and tell me it didn't work. -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.

Zxquez Zolohahni Infiltrator Member # 2104	written Sunday, August 8 2004 04:54 Profile Homepage #8 Okay then. Sorry I didn't see it in your first post, because I didn't notice the edit. :( But it does work now. Thanks for the help. -------------------- —Zxquez Zolohahni Xerch'de/Rate.
