Set/Get Local Int

Zephirius · December 2022

Ok...

1. The PC first reads a book (uses the placeable) and sets a local int on the PC.

SetLocalInt(oPC, "council_six", 1);

At this point the PC should be wandering the desolate tomb with a giant "1" on her forehead!
2. Travel to the door where the Local Int script is placed - OK. "Door code" -

void main()
{
    object oPC = GetLastOpenedBy();
    if (!GetIsPC(oPC)) return;

    if (GetLocked(OBJECT_SELF) == TRUE)
    {
        if (GetLocalInt(oPC, "council_six") == 1)
        {
        SetLocked(OBJECT_SELF, FALSE);
        AssignCommand(OBJECT_SELF, ActionPlayAnimation(ANIMATION_DOOR_OPEN1));
        }
    }
}

Nothing is doing.

Door still locked.
I'm uncertain which handler to use at this point. I've tried all of the pertinent ones that I can think of.

Note: The door is marked as having a key required to open. Purposefully no key exists. I just wanted it to be locked absolutely. I don't think a key is required as the code should supersede the lock flags. At least that is the way I understand it...

This is where I bow out...

Just a guess but if the door is locked, the door can't be opened therefore GetLastOpenedBy() will probably not return anything meaningful. Try using the OnUsed event for your code and GetLastUsedBy() instead.

The problem is, a door has no OnUsed handler, so I'm miffed as to the choices I have . I wonder if OnAreaTransistionClick() might bear some fruit???

Thanks for the help TarortRedhand.

OnAreaTransistion is a no go. Kinda makes sense... You know, I think I've seemed to have had this problem before and eventually solved it. Gonna go through my posts. Will check back if I find the answer...

Just looked in the lexicon. As, when encountered, the door is locked try the OnFailToOpen event and replace GetLastOpenedBy() with GetClickingObject().

Proleric had the answer all along in this thread. OnFailToOpen tells us that GetClickingObject() is the function to use. "Proleric"

In case there are still novices out there - I very much consider myself a novice-Using the OnFailToOpenhandler with GetClickingObject(), the final code should read:

void main()
{
    object oPC = GetClickingObject();
    if (!GetIsPC(oPC)) return;

    if (GetLocked(OBJECT_SELF) == TRUE)
    {
        if (GetLocalInt(oPC, "council_six") == 1)
        {
        SetLocked(OBJECT_SELF, FALSE);
        AssignCommand(OBJECT_SELF, ActionPlayAnimation(ANIMATION_DOOR_OPEN1));
        }
    }
}

So everything is copasetic as it stands. Thank guys!
