Multibutton puzzle

[Justintime9]

Yes, that's exactly what I meant - the lower combination will be accepted, too.

Good, well, that said, I don't think that being a possibility will really be that bad, it'll make it more complicated if you don't know the combination. Btw, the Combination will be pretty clear cut, so it's not like the player will have to play around with the buttons in order to figure it out.

Ok, I took a look at the Kinekulle combination puzzle python file (KinekulleLayers.py). A lot of it seems pretty self explanatory, but please correct me if I interpreted it wrong.

Code: Select all

For the first part, it seems there is a list of the buttons, each is assigned a number, and the second part has the button object name. ('Act: MyButton01') or in the case of this file ('Act: Button 01'). The first 6 buttons are for telling it that the buttons are part of the combination (defining it's name etc.) The second 1-6 are the same buttons, but telling it that when a button is down it responds. Then I'm assuming #13 is the reset button. The solution is the sequence of numbers in which the buttons must be pushed to open the door.

Not sure what the 'buttonSDL' Variable is for, perhaps so that when you leave the age while in the middle of pressing buttons it won't reset? Then the UnlockSDL must be so that once opened, the door opened by the combination will stay open unless reset by the reset button. From there on I'm lost as to what to change, or what's going on below that.

Could I just change everywhere it says "Kinekulle" to "SparklingPalace" (my age), change the combination and button names, and it would work once the AlcScript is there? Or are there a bunch of tiny details that I have to tailor to my age perfectly? If so, what would I have to change to fit my age?

Also, what would I do for AlcScript? I know to use a single clickregion, but should I just give the buttons a normal clickable AlcScript, and link them to the Buttons Python file? Then how does the reset button work into this all? Should I use a normal animation quickscript for the door that opens, or is it more complicated?

Sorry about so many questions, hope they're not too much to answer all at once

It's okay to be confused and ask questions Justin. This is how we learn after all

For the first part, it seems there is a list of the buttons, each is assigned a number, and the second part has the button object name. ('Act: MyButton01') or in the case of this file ('Act: Button 01'). The first 6 buttons are for telling it that the buttons are part of the combination (defining it's name etc.)

The first six aren't actually the buttons. They're the logic modifiers. Each button in your puzzle gets its own unique logic modifier (They can all share the same region, but there has to be six logic modifiers, one for each button). ptAttribActivator is the plasma description in python for an activator (usually a logic modifier like in this case) The 'Act: Button 01' is just telling whoever is reading the file what the button is and what it's assigned to. The code doesn't use this. what the code uses is the number that precedes this (the 1-6)

The second 1-6 are the same buttons, but telling it that when a button is down it responds. Then I'm assuming #13 is the reset button.

Correct. The second 1-6 are the responders for each of the buttons. so if the button has an animation of some kind, this responder controls it (making it light up, or move, whatever). In plasma a ptAttribResponder is what calls the responder in the prp files.

The solution is the sequence of numbers in which the buttons must be pushed to open the door.

Yes.

Not sure what the 'buttonSDL' Variable is for, perhaps so that when you leave the age while in the middle of pressing buttons it won't reset?

Nope, the button sdl is the variable for the code string. It works like this, you press button 1 (actButton1) in the OnNotify section of the python file, it registers that you pressed that button and plays the responder (respButton1). It then adds the number for that button (1) to a string that's represented by "buttonspushed" the buttonsdl is the variable for that string. Then each time you press another button it plays that buttons responder and adds the button number to the string. So let's say you pressed button 1 first, then button 3. in the vault, the buttonsdl would read 1,3.

What happens is that each time you press a button, the buttonsdl is checked against the solution to see if it matches. Once it matches it opens the door.

Then the UnlockSDL must be so that once opened, the door opened by the combination will stay open unless reset by the reset button.

Right.

Yes you can just change the names to your own ones. And you only need one region encompassing the clickable objects. I was trying to paste part of the alcscript in here for you, but it wouldnt paste today , so if you need it I can send it to you.

[Justintime9]

Thx guys, that helps And if you would send me the AlcScript I'd be very grateful Ametist.

Now comes the animation, which I'm not sure exactly how to do. The doors that I want to animate are double doors, so both sides of the door will open at the same time, but be classified as one animation (unless I have to animate them separately and classify them in the same place.)

Here's the AlcScript for the Kinnekulle animation:

After I animate my doors, how do I link it to the door combination, and what would I do for the SDL variables? In this AlcScript it refers to a different python file than the "KinnekulleLayers" button combination file. Is that just a generic python file used by many ages for button combinations?

Here's the Python file:

I havn't changed the SDL names yet, but changed "KinnekulleLayers" to "SparklingPalaceButtons".

[D'Lanor]

Now comes the animation, which I'm not sure exactly how to do. The doors that I want to animate are double doors, so both sides of the door will open at the same time, but be classified as one animation (unless I have to animate them separately and classify them in the same place.)

I don't know how Blender handles IPOs when you join 2 objects which both have an IPO attached but my guess is that things could go horribly wrong. So you are probably better off keeping the two animations separate.

Just add the animcmdmsg for the second door below the first door animation.

After I animate my doors, how do I link it to the door combination, and what would I do for the SDL variables? In this AlcScript it refers to a different python file than the "KinnekulleLayers" button combination file. Is that just a generic python file used by many ages for button combinations?

It is already linked. The "KinnekulleLayers" python file handles the SDL change and xAgeSDLBoolRespond handles the responder in response to that SDL change.

Ok, I finished changing the AlcScript, SDL file, and the Python file. After a few difficulties I was finally able to link in. (it gave me a stackdump a few times because I forgot to set them as actors.) When I got there only 3 of the buttons were clickable. When pressed they made the button press sound and they seemed to work as they should.

However the other 3 buttons, and the reset button weren't even clickable. This is strange because all the buttons have the same properties. I made sure to make them actors and set bounds, as well as applying scale and rotation. Think I've finally hit a wall. considering the clickable properties seem fine, my only conclusion is that it must be something wrong with the AlcScript, or Python file, or SDL file, but I don't know what.

Here's my AlcScripts:

And here's my SDL file:

Now comes the animation, which I'm not sure exactly how to do. The doors that I want to animate are double doors, so both sides of the door will open at the same time, but be classified as one animation (unless I have to animate them separately and classify them in the same place.)

I don't know how Blender handles IPOs when you join 2 objects which both have an IPO attached but my guess is that things could go horribly wrong. So you are probably better off keeping the two animations separate.

Of note. Plasma has a class (Not yet available in the trunk but it's in my contrib in the svn) called plMsgForwarder. what this class does is really quite simple. when creating complex responders with multiple animations that need to play at once, you give all those animations the same name. So for instance in this case you have a double set of doors that are being animated, you'd give each of them the animation names of "DoorOpen" and "DoorClose" for it's opening and closing animations. Then you'd make two plMsgForwarder's, one for opening, and one for closing, and it would contain references to both object's animations. So in a responder's animcmdmsg instead of calling the individual door's animation, you'd call the plMsgForwarder and script it out just like an animcmdmsg.

[Justintime9]

Hmm, that sound like it'd make things easier, but is the way I did it fine? (one animation script above the other). Can you guys see any error in my scripts, SDL, or Python files?
