Hey
So, I've been working on a new mod recently, and it includes a brand new dungeon, which will be a first for me But anyway... Building the dungeon itself has not been a problem. I know how to navmesh, connect it to the world, set up traps (I've tested and they work ), etc.. However, in the big main chamber, I want to set up those puzzle pillars that you have to rotate so the right animal is facing out, in order to open the portcullis. Now.. here's my problem.. Basically, I have got it to work. But not properly.. The thing is, I've set up the initialstate and solvestate int properties in the scripts attached to each pillar. And I noted down on paper what they all were for each pillar so I have a reference (as I haven't set up the clue for solving the puzzle yet, it's going to be in a cryptic note). Anyway.. So, I go to test it in game. But, none of the pillars are facing the way I had set them up :S I did make sure the face the arrow was pointing to (the arrow on the pillar base) was the same face I had given each pillar as it's initialstate int property, although I don't know if that's necessary. But in game they were all different. When I rotated each of the pillars so the arrow was pointing to the face that was the solvestate, a pulled the lever, the portcullis didn't open. :/ BUT, when I rotated each pillar the correct number of times I would have had to rotate it had it been facing the right way I'd set them up, to get them to the solvestate, the portcullis did open! But, obviously, none of the faces were right, they'd just been rotated the right number of times.
So.. I hope that made sense lol! I tried to explain it as best I could. So basically, can anyone help me with this? Do you know what the problem is? If it helps, when I placed the pillars I had both snap to grid and snap to angle turned off.. Do they need to be on? Is there like a specific direction that is actually the 'front'? Because I don't want them all in a line, they're arranged in a circle.. :S
Anyway yeah so I hope someone can help me! I'd really appreciate it if someone could And sorry for such a long post! lol
