Hi,

I need help with creating a script attached to a door in a exterior cell, which gives people the option to choose one out of 3 different interior cells, but I don't understand how to do that. Can someone help me with this?

As far as my limited experience goes, this isn't possible with a door (as they can only link to one other door). The only option is to place a door there as an activator, and then have the 3 doors there too, but initially disabled, and then the script enables one door and then disables the activator that initialized the message box.

I don't really have time to write that script for you, but that's what I'd do.

Use the door as an activator, use an OnActivate block to present the player with the choices. (messagebox) Have the player make his choice, and then just use player.moveto to put 'em in the right cell. You can even have the script play the door sounds.

Yes, HeyYou's way is better, because with my method once you make the choice then you can't reverse it. Which you can also do with HeyYou's method, so do that .

The choice the PLayer makes must be abolute, and once the choice is made it can't be unmade :turned:

I was thinking about using 3 different XMarkerHeadings inside 3 different interior cells (one fit for a Mage, one for a Thief and one for a Warrior) and a script attached to just one door in a exterior cell which loads the Player inside the interior cell (s)he chooses, without being able to choose again.

Any ideas?


EDIT: The only thing I don't understand is how to make the game remember the players choice.

Here's an example script which loads the player into one interior cell only, without the 'choice' part:

scn O4ETurrisPlenusLoadScriptshort buttonshort messageOnBegin onActivate	MessageBox "Do you wish to travel inside the tower?" "Yes" "No"	set messageOn to 1EndBegin GameMode	if ( messageOn == 1 )		Set button to GetButtonPressed	if ( button >= 0 )		set messageOn to 0	endif	if ( button == 0 )		player.MoveToMarker O4TurrisPlenusMageMoveMarkerREF	elseif ( button == 1 )		set button to 0	endifendif	End

But, how to put the 'choice' part in it...

Try that . Might need some tweaking, but it's a start .

The way I'd go about doing that is this:

1. As HeyYou suggested, make an activator using a door mesh. This will be used to enable the appropriate door when the time comes.

2. Place three doors (identical to the activator created in step one) at the same location as the activator. Make them persistent references and give each a unique RefID. (I'll use DutchMageDoorRef, DutchWarriorDoorRef & DutchThiefDoorRef for now). Set them as Initially Disabled.

3. Link each of the doors to its appropriate cell.

4. Attach the following script to the Activator door:

scn DutchDoorChoiceScriptShort ChoosingShort ChoiceBegin OnActivate PlayerMessageBox "Which will you choose?" "Mage" "Warrior" "Thief"Set Choosing to 1DisableEndBegin GameModeIf Choosing == 1 set Choice to GetButtonPressed   If Choice == 0    DutchMageDoorRef.Enable   ElseIf choice == 1    DutchWarriorDoorRef.Enable   ElseIf choice == 2    DutchThiefDoorRef.Enable   EndifEndifEnd

^That should disable the activator and enable the appropriate door (it may need some refining, though).

Edit: Ahhg! Ninja'd :ninja:

Thanks! I'll try both scripts and see which one fits my needs the best!

I've tested AliTheLord's script first:



The above script does work to a certain extend (it will load my tower interior of choice), but if I try to reaccess the tower the game does not remember which choice I've made before and nothing happens...

EDIT: I don't understand this portion of the script: "short RememberButton" it isn't used anywhere below line 6 :huh:
