Hey I got a bunch of questions again and I don't want to spam the form, so i'm gonna do it in one post:

Is it possible to let a Key spawn randomly in certain areas?

Is it possible to rename Keys, so that I collect a rusty Key for example instead of just a "key" ?

And, are there scripts wich enable Objectives like, collect 5 Notes, or activate the switch ?

If you Guys would tell me the exact way how to do it... that would be awesome

I want to have clear about your idea, so I'm goin to mention 2 possible options:

Option 1
You've 3 keys, and you want whatever spawning let's say, over a table. (can o be key1, or key2, or key3)

Option2
You've 1 key, and you want this key spawning randomly over a table, or over a bed, or over a crate.

Just say option1 or option2, or not one.


Yes, do it via item properties panel.



Ignore your script skils, anyway I'm going to link you to the script library: https://forum.game-guru.com/thread/207801

Take at look "Quest" section, even "Misc", there you can find useful scripts like "kill x enemies to open door", just change it for "collect x notes to open door", even you has script about notes, than can be useful 4 you as guidelines.

If you need some more help about, please post here, and someone might help, even me.

Hi Thanks for your post, here the answers:

Q1= Option 2

Q2= I have tried that. The Name did not change in the game....

Q3= Okay I will look around and try it

Thank you !

Q1
The easiest way for you, is as follow:
1- I've attached script below, to a most used item in GG (a barrel).
2- I've placed 1 table, 2 boxes to set the positions in the video.
3- I've place 3 wooden pallets (item intended to be spawned radomly), in a different position each one.
SpawnAtStart = no, via properties panel, for each one.
4- All 3 woodden pallets are consecutive numbers, in my case they are: 5,6,7

script - attach to you trigger item.



In action



Q2
Did you tried via fpe file?

I prefer answer here instead of yt.



5,6,7 are not the item name, but the item number, mouseover item and you can see at bottom of the screen, the number of the entity. Looks like "5{70005}", without quotes.

I stay a bit in the video when this comes, looking for you has time to notice it, please re-look video again.

So if your items are different number than 5,6, or 7; perhaps thats the issue.

Ah okay ! Thanks 3com, i will try it again.
@bod, looks interesting, I will look it up

Okay so the Item number of one key is [629 {70629} ] 5
The Name of the Key in properties is 5.
thats why it it's 5 at the end i guess.

SO renaming the Key was wrong? should i name them key1, key2, key3 or something like that?
How can I make the door to recognize all of them?

Bod, good Video ! pretty cool

Firts at all forguet item name, we are going to work with item numbers (ids), and does ot matter what's the name is.

When you place an item in a map, GG automatically assign some number to the item (usually has to do with the order the item was placed); so the firts one is the number 1, the second is the number 2, and so on.

Please notice arrow plus rectangle in the pic below.



You can notice the jetpack being the item number 6 (6{70006}), so if your key is let's say, number 2 and 3 and 4, so you has to change this line in script below: notice here - 6{70006} - number 6 being the firts number, out of the brakets.

number = math.random( 5, 7 ) -- for me entities number are: 5, 6, 7

This line should looks like:

number = math.random( 2, 4 ) -- since your keys numbers are: 2, 3, and 4.

Here you want 1 key being spawned in random position .
So, instead of work with 3 differents positions for 1 key, we are going to work with 3 keys, each one place in a different position in the map. I do considered this way as the easier for you.

So, each time you run the script, you will spawn a ramdom key, so you'll get you goal, with different approach.

1- place 3 key in different position each one, in your map.
2- attach the script to your trigger - as explain above.
3- Make all keys, " SpawnAtStart = no", for each one. via properties panel.

run your level, and enjoy.
