????
As I understand
Code: Select all
respSound = ptAttribResponder(1, 'Resp: Play sound')
Is nothing more than retriving first parameter given to pymod in AlcScript and assignin it to global variable.
As You can see: I don't use respSound, and wrtie notyfication whenether OnNotify is being lanched, so commenting this line should not change anything, becouse it's only initiate variable which is not used (or am I wrong?).
Anyway, just to be sure: I uncomented it, redone pak file and got the same result.

As a general rule I just do what Cyan does and try not to deviate too much from that. I don't know why it does not work for you. It does for me.
You could try the export log file and see if everything "boiled down" (as it is called there) correctly.

I suddenly realize why your notification fails. In order for this to work the responder should be started through Python! *slaps head*

Actually I did undesrtood it. Just didn't know how to write that in AlcScript/Python
Anyway, I try to test it ASAP.

After testing:
Good news: OnNotify started to live
Bad news: i'ts styll not working.
When I click my button in game "id" passed to "OnNotify" is "-1", but the "actKI.id" is equal to "1".
I tryed to launch:
Code: Select all
avatar = PtFindAvatar(events)
respKI.run(self.key, events=events)
anyway (despite "id != actKI.id"), but nothing happends (after "respKI.run" script just moving on).
P.S.
Control question: since avatar is declared inside OnNotify as "global avatar" shouldn't actKI and respKI be also?

I don't know where that -1 id is coming from but it cannot be a parameter from the pythonfile mod. PyPRP enumerates pythonfile mod parameters in the order they appear in the Alcscript. For the script I posted the activator is written to the prp file with id 1 and the responder with id 2. In Python you must capture the activator and the responder with the same ids. These numbers are not arbitrary. They should always match the corresponding ids within the prp file.
Somehow I don't think you used my actual script (again) so I won't try to troubleshoot this.

No. The global statement should be declared when a function changes a global variable. actKI and respKI never change since they are not variables but constants.

Well yes, and no
Of course that every time, at first, I tried Your code exactly as You have written it.
But like I sad: something always was wrong.
So I was tweeking, and testing (tweekeing, and testing, tweekeing, and testing etc.) Your code to:
a) learn priciples behind it
b) find out what I was doing wrong.
Anyway I find out what was wrong. In this code:
- AlcScript Show Spoiler

In this

- type: pythonfile

pythonfile:

params:
- type: activator

- type: responder

It should be "parameters:" insetad of "params:"

Oops, I copied that from your post #5 and never noticed the error.
No wonder everything after that was broken. Anyway, glad it is solved now.
