Step 1. The Alcscript
- Code: Select all
<object>:
logic:
modifiers:
- tag: ProxiSensor_Enter
cursor: nochange
flags:
- multitrigger
activators:
- type: objectinvolume
remote: <region>
triggers:
- enter
conditions:
- type: volumesensor
satisfied: true
direction: enter
actions:
- type: pythonfile
ref: $RandomBool
- tag: ProxiSensor_Exit
cursor: nochange
flags:
- multitrigger
activators:
- type: objectinvolume
remote: <region>
triggers:
- exit
conditions:
- type: volumesensor
satisfied: true
direction: exit
actions:
- type: pythonfile
ref: $RandomBool
actions:
- type: pythonfile
tag: RandomBool
pythonfile:
file: xRandomBoolChange
parameters:
- type: string
value: <object>Vis
- type: string
value: <object>Enabled
- type: string
value: <object>Chance
- type: string
value: <object>Proximity
- type: activatorlist
refs: ["logicmod:$ProxiSensor_Enter","logicmod:$ProxiSensor_Exit"]
- type: bool
value: true
- type: sceneobject
ref: scnobj:<object>
- type: pythonfile
tag: BoolShowHide
pythonfile:
file: xAgeSDLBoolShowHide
parameters:
- type: string
value: <object>Vis
- type: bool
value: true
Replace <object> with the name of your object and replace <region> with the name of your region, without the <>.
Note the activatorlist under the pythonfilemods. That one was a pain to figure out.
You may wonder why we need a region for this. In a multiplayer environment the object could show up right under the nose of another player. A strategically placed region prevents that. As long as there is a player in the region the visibility state of the object will not change.
Step 2. The SDL variables
- Code: Select all
STATEDESC MyAge
{
VERSION 1
# Random objects
VAR BOOL <object>Vis[1] DEFAULT=1 DEFAULTOPTION=VAULT
VAR BOOL <object>Enabled[1] DEFAULT=1 DEFAULTOPTION=VAULT
VAR BYTE <object>Chance[1] DEFAULT=50 DEFAULTOPTION=VAULT
VAR BOOL <object>Proximity[1] DEFAULT=0 DEFAULTOPTION=VAULT
}
Again replace <object> with the name of your object, without the <>. You can set the chance variable to any number between 0 and 100.
That is all. There is no need to program any Python script since Cyan has already done that for us.
Edit: I could probably turn this into a quickscript that only requires a few lines of input.
