Hi,

Needs help using the KillQuest script please...

I use it in my level for the main character have to collect items instead of killing enemies.
The problem is when I collect the items, the message " targets remain " doesn't change (still the quantity of items to collect)

For the object to collect, I use the following commands :
if PlayerDist < 80 and g_PlayerHealth > 0 then
PlaySound(e,0)
Destroy(e)
end

I saw in the KillQuest script this line "if g_Entity[questTargets[currentQuest][c]]['health'] > 0 then" to check if the object still alive or not.
Normally, the collected object is destroyed, (meaning its health is = 0) because I destroy it to collect it...

Is there another command for "g_Entity" to check if the object exist or not ?

Hoping I was clear...

Thanks !

Try inserting this before the destroy command and see if that helps.

SetEntityHealth(e,0)

Thanks Pirate Myke for the tips... but same result...

The only way to have the " targets remain " message box changing is if I shoot on the object.
In this case, the script works fine... but the "target" objects are still "alive"... and do not disappear...

Note that the script I have associated to the "target" objects is just to make them rotating and for the distance detecting with the player :

local delay = {}
local init_delay = {}
GravityOff(e)

function rotation_objet_init(e)
delay[e] = 25
init_delay[e] = delay[e]
rotation = 0
end

function rotation_objet_main(e)
PlayerDist = GetPlayerDistance(e)
if PlayerDist < 500 then
if GetTimer(e) > delay[e] then
delay[e] = GetTimer(e) + init_delay[e]
SetRotation(e,0,rotation,0)
rotation = rotation + 5
if rotation > 360 then
rotation = 0
end
end
end
if PlayerDist < 80 and g_PlayerHealth > 0 then
PlaySound(e,0)
SetEntityHealth(e,0)
Destroy(e)
--ActivateIfUsed(e)
end
end

oups !
Small mistake in my second script :

I put "if PlayerDist < 80 and g_PlayerHealth > 0 then" instead of "if PlayerDist < 80 and g_Entity[e]['health'] > 0 then"

For clues...

I tested step by step removing some lines in the script of the "target object".

If I remove the line "Destroy(e)" just after "SetEntityHealth(e,0)" the "targets remain" message box change correctly (decrease whenever I am close to a target object) but, of course, the target object doesn't disapears...

Doesn't works if I add the line "Destroy(e)"...

I don't anderstand why !

You will need to hide the object instead of destroy it. I will look at the script.

try:



Untested yet, since here is too late now.

hth

Thanks guys !

I tested with hide object instead of destroy.
It works fine but the script for the distance detection object still detect it even if the object is hidden...

I mean if the character moves to the area where the object is located, the object is collected and we can ear the sound "PlaySound(e,0)"

Take a look at my other post (sorry I posted it before take a look at your answer...)

Thanks !

ok, here you go. I cant get the object to rotate thou the debug prompt says that it is.





This has been tested on my machine.

it wont rotate with physics on.

Thank you.

Many thanks guys !!

I'll test it right now !
