I've been combing the docs and searching threads, here, but I don't know how to trigger a terrain to appear. I'm working on having an appearing vahnatai cabinet. I just have no idea what to put in a terrain script that could make it suddenly appear. I apologize that this is all very general complaining. I'm still getting the hang of terrain scripting. I've already figured out how to get a chest to give a special item, but the icon change here is giving me a headache. Any ideas are welcome. I need to make this cabinet appear, and be able to be searched. From there, I think that I can manage things. Posts: 93 | Registered: Saturday, June 1 2002 07:00 |

Will the call set_terrain do what you need? -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

Just might. I just looked up that call in the appendices. I'll have to try it. Should make things a lot shorter than making some kind of terrain script, if I can call it from, say, some state of the town script... I'll get back to you on it, but if past experience shows anything, your suggestion will fix it. EDIT: Okay, got the cabinet to appear. Do I now need to construct a small terrain script in order to search it? I intend to put a dialog choice here, not real items, so I can't use the put_item command (never mind that it wouldn't put things *inside* the cabinet). If I need to put together a terrain script, I can do it, but I need to know one additional thing. Where to do I put the condition that makes the space searchable after I make the cabinet appear? In the SEARCH_STATE, or somewhere else? [ Saturday, February 19, 2005 21:42: Message edited by: Guardian of Eternity ] Posts: 93 | Registered: Saturday, June 1 2002 07:00 |

Yes, in the SEARCH_STATE. That is, if (get_terrain(my_loc_x(),my_loc_y()) == [vahnatai cabinet]), do the dialog box.

EDIT : Never mind about this. I was going to get a terrain script checked, but figured out what I might be doing wrong. Sorry. :( [ Sunday, February 20, 2005 12:06: Message edited by: Guardian of Eternity ] Posts: 93 | Registered: Saturday, June 1 2002 07:00 |
