Hi all

So I want to allow the player to go beyond the edge of the map in certain places, as per this thread.

So I figured using a Zone to do it.

In PlayerControl_lua I have:
1) added global var g_allowplayerbeyondmapboundary to control if player can leave edge of map or not
2) enclosed the code that prevents player walking off the map in an if statement
------ thanks cybernescence for pointing me to this code
3) edited a zone script to create playeratboundary_control to use in a zone
------ which should change the g_allowplayerbeyondmapboundary

function replacement_gameplayercontrol_init()
     Hide(e)
     g_allowplayerbeyondmapboundary = 0
end

function gameplayercontrol.control()
	local allowbeyondboundary = g_allowplayerbeyondmapboundary
	if allowbeyondboundary == 0 then
		if ( GetPlrObjectPositionX()<100 ) then SetGamePlayerControlPushangle(90.0) SetGamePlayerControlPushforce(1.0) end
		if ( GetPlrObjectPositionX()>51100 ) then SetGamePlayerControlPushangle(270.0) SetGamePlayerControlPushforce(1.0) end
		if ( GetPlrObjectPositionZ()<100 ) then SetGamePlayerControlPushangle(0.0) SetGamePlayerControlPushforce(1.0) end
		if ( GetPlrObjectPositionZ()>51100 ) then SetGamePlayerControlPushangle(180.0) SetGamePlayerControlPushforce(1.0) end
	else
		SetGamePlayerControlPushforce(0.0)
	end
	-- Reduce any player push force over time
	if ( GetGamePlayerControlPushforce()>0 ) then 
		SetGamePlayerControlPushforce(GetGamePlayerControlPushforce()-(GetTimeElapsed()/2.0))
		if ( GetGamePlayerControlPushforce()<0 ) then 
			SetGamePlayerControlPushforce(0.0)
		end
	end

+ Code Snippet

function replacement_gameplayercontrol_init()
     Hide(e)
     g_allowplayerbeyondmapboundary = 0
end

function gameplayercontrol.control()
	local allowbeyondboundary = g_allowplayerbeyondmapboundary
	if allowbeyondboundary == 0 then
		if ( GetPlrObjectPositionX()<100 ) then SetGamePlayerControlPushangle(90.0) SetGamePlayerControlPushforce(1.0) end
		if ( GetPlrObjectPositionX()>51100 ) then SetGamePlayerControlPushangle(270.0) SetGamePlayerControlPushforce(1.0) end
		if ( GetPlrObjectPositionZ()<100 ) then SetGamePlayerControlPushangle(0.0) SetGamePlayerControlPushforce(1.0) end
		if ( GetPlrObjectPositionZ()>51100 ) then SetGamePlayerControlPushangle(180.0) SetGamePlayerControlPushforce(1.0) end
	else
		SetGamePlayerControlPushforce(0.0)
	end
	-- Reduce any player push force over time
	if ( GetGamePlayerControlPushforce()>0 ) then 
		SetGamePlayerControlPushforce(GetGamePlayerControlPushforce()-(GetTimeElapsed()/2.0))
		if ( GetGamePlayerControlPushforce()<0 ) then 
			SetGamePlayerControlPushforce(0.0)
		end
	end

+ Code Snippet

function playeratboundary_control_init(e)
end

function playeratboundary_control_main(e)
    if g_Entity[e]['plrinzone']==1 and PlrIsInWhichZone == 0 then
		g_allowplayerbeyondmapboundary = 1
		PlrIsInWhichZone = e
    end
    if g_Entity[e]['plrinzone']==0 and PlrIsInWhichZone == e then
		g_allowplayerbeyondmapboundary = 0
		PlrIsInWhichZone = 0
    end
end

But I be missing something cause it doesn't work, maybe I am on the wrong track here

Any help would be appreciated

your function names don't match up and you need to pass in the 'e' if you're going to use it, it should be

Quote: "function replacement_gameplayercontrol_init(e)
function replacement_gameplayercontrol_main(e)"

also missing an end at the bottom of the first (same) script

the second script needs to set PlrIsInWhichZone = 0 as a default to make the 'if' true (default in lua is nil if nothing is set)

i,e,

end

			SetGamePlayerControlPushforce(0.0)
		end
	end
	--Prompt(GetPlrObjectPositionX().." , "..GetPlrObjectPositionZ())
end

with the above changes it works fine, the red barrels are marking the rough map edges (i changed my values to be far smaller so it's easier to show) and the green barrels mark out the zone

Thanks for input smallg

Yeah, you are right about the function name, but not sure I can change that, I think it might brake it, but will take in the morning.

The Replacement_GamePlayerControl script is from this thread.

However adding local PlrIsInWhichZone = 0 to the playeratboundary_control fixed it.
Thanks for your help
