Error Report:- When an item (such as a weapon and ammo) is placed on a table inside a building close to a solid wall if the player walks outside the building and stands on the opposite side of the wall as the table but close to the wall the player can get the equipment on the table though the solid wall. This happens with the buildings in the entities folder and I do not know if this happens with buildings created by the EBE system.

Is it repeatable? Yes

Sample level attached. Just walk around the building and get close to the middle of the back wall.

Make the range in the script a smaller value or there are scripts available that the player has to be looking at the object to be picked up.
Check out smallg thread in the script section.

Instead of me having to add a script to every project to fix this problem shouldn't this be fixed once in the core program?

No because it is a script error not a bug, if you don't have any limits in the script than why would it have limits in the game?

Much better to fix the script rather than blocking it in the engine as this gives you more freedom later if ever you had a need for picking up or interacting with an object through a wall later (psychic powers etc).

Exactly what i was going to post, but after five minutes of facepalming i had a concussion and forgot

(Note: i didn't really facepalm, i just thought it was the ideal point at which to make a joke to lighten the mood )

I wrote these scripts a while ago they may help with your problem.

The link to the thread is here too.

Here are scripts that will allow the player to NOT collect keys, or if the script is edited, other entities to be collected through walls.

Unzip the _lua_zone folder into your scriptbank folder, and the map into your mapbank folder.

On the testmap if you run around the outside of the walls, you cant get the keys that are on the tables inside next to the walls, with the pickup key script original you could pick up through walls. The trick is to setup a zone INSIDE your room or building and if the player enters it set a variable which the key_get_zone.lua checks to see if it is 1, if so then allows pick up of key, if 0 (Outside of zone) then no pick up.

plrinzone_collector.lua assign to zone.
key_get_zone.lua assign to you key or object. Dynamic.

Simple but very useful. Well I hope so anyway.

UPDATE
_________

Just discovered that the key collection only script only work on 1 zone, if you add same script to another zone it messes up.

Below are the newer versions, as before:

plrinzone_collector.lua assign to zone.
key_get_zone.lua assign to you key or object. Dynamic.

The scripts number are important plrinzone0 and key_get_zone0 must be the same area, and so on up to the 15 i've made for you. If you need more just go into the scripts change the init, main and any instances of the variable insidez to the same number: eg:

if the key_get16_zone_init(e)

then the variable should be changed insidez16

same goes for the other script, hope thats all clear...... all working good here now

Very generous of you Tarkus1971.

fixed (in the next version of GG) if you download these and use them in place of the stock scripts

can this be used with promptlocal command and a sprite based note script ?? great stuff smallg

Im guessing the ifplayerlooking bit is the most important to and the obstruction lines as well.

Glad to hear it. And if someone wanted something like powers to allow the player to get items through walls I am sure that could be scripted in.

Jason

it already uses the promptlocal, i edited it after the video though.
updated the note script and also added the key.lua to the list


indeed, you could just use the old script
