Terrain Srcipts.

[nikki.]

Is there any way to get rid of them in-game? I looked through the appendices for a call to do this, but no cigar.

 

What I want is for a terrain script to be usable up until a flag is switched to 1. After that point, the terrain script should go, or at least be invisible.

 

I've made a kinda remedy by altering specobj.txt so that if a given flag is over one it isn't searchable, or if it is, it displays no message or whatever, but the text description still says that it's there.

 

So, any ideas?

No, you can't dynamically remove scripts. Instead, modify the script so that it checks the flag in question. and does stuff only if is not 1:

Code:

 if(get_flag(get_memory_cell(0),get_memory_cell(1)) == 1)     end();//do whatever should be done if flag is not 1 

This code will check a flag that is determined by the value of two memory cells, and if the flag is 1, stop the script from doing anything else.

I already did this. My initial post wasn't very good, but I altered specobj.txt to do this very thing. The problem is, the terrain script is still searchable - pressing "l" in-game highlights it as something of interest.

I guess I just wanted to get rid of this.

The "searchable" feature isn't terribly editable. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.

Couldn't you just swap the terrain with an identical looking terrain that isn't searchable??

 

Edit - And would have a different default script?? (Stupid Tab key...)

It should work because I think that this is the principle behind a simple door script, but I could be wrong.

[Kelandon]

The set_terrain call doesn't change the terrain script already on a space, so I don't think that will work.

[Swimmin' Salmon]

flip_terrain does work. In testing, it switched from doorlever.txt to specobj.txt when the graphic changed.

 

Of course I'm assuming this is for within a town script, as it should be.

[nikki.]

Interesting premise Salmon. So I edit the floor, and make te_switch_to (or whatever is is) to a blank florr with no terrain script?

 

I'll see if it's worth the effort. But thanks for that anyway - it might come in useful later.
