Triggering events when looking at something

2013-03-19T17:04:21Z

Obsttorte: This article describes how to setup entities that trigger events if they were looked at.

== Introduction ==

Triggering events in games is a nice feature that can be used to drive the story forwards or to create tension. There are already several possibilities, how events can be triggered in DarkRadiant. The most common ones are the player entering a specific area, taking an object or fulfilling an objective.

This article describes how to get entities to trigger events, if the player looks at them.

== The scriptobject ==

The first thing you need is the scriptobject, which you can get [http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/14394-apples-and-peaches-obsttortes-mapping-and-scripting-thread/page__view__findpost__p__307416, here]. Put t in your script folder and include it by adding the line

#include "script/trigger_look.script"

In your tdm_custom_scripts.script file. If there is no such file, you have to create it.

== The setup ==

On the object you want to trigger an event, add the spawnarg "scriptobject" "trigger_look". That's it. If the player does look at it, it will trigger all it's targets.

== Additional Spawnargs ==

There are some additional spawnargs that can be used to control the behaviour of this object. They are all optional.

- "entityname": The entity to react to (default is player1, thus meaning the player)
- "stim": the stim used to enable this object (default is PLAYER_STIM)
- "distance": how close the entity must be (default: 1024)
- "tolerance": describes how exact the player (or another entity) must look (default: 0.1)
- "once": if set to one, the entity will trigger it's targets only once (default: 0)

== Remarks ==

There are two parts in the workflow of this object. The first part is the stim, that enables the object, the second one is the entity to react to. This must not be the same!

While for the player the code checks, if he looks at it, for other entities it only checks wheter they are facing in the correct direction (in the x-y-plane).

The code does not check, if the entity can be really seen. So if the player for example looks at it trough a wall within the proper range, it will be activated, too. I plan to add this feature later on. In the meantime, you should adjust the distance spawnarg to get the desired effect.

In-game shop

Obsttorte: /* Setting it up */

== Introduction ==

If you want to give the player the possibility to buy items in-game, this article tells you how to do it.

== The scriptobject ==

First of all you need the scriptobject handling the behaviour of the specific objects you want the player to be able to buy. You can get it [http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/14394-apples-and-peaches-obsttortes-mapping-and-scripting-thread/page__view__findpost__p__307546, here]. It's shop_item.script.

Put it in your script folder, delete the .txt ending and include it by adding the line

#include "script/shop_item.script"

to your tdm_custom_scripts.script file. If there is no such a file, you have to create it.

== Setting it up ==

In DarkRadiant, create a model of the object you want to sell. Place it at it's position and add the following spawnargs.

- "scriptobject" "shop_item": This tells the object to use the appropiate script
- "item" "<itemname>": itemname is the name of the entity you want the player to buy. If you don't know the name, you can look it up in the create entity dialog (an example would be atdm:ammo_waterarrow)
- "price" "X": how much this item costs (X is the value)
- "amount" "Y": how many items are available for selling. If you don't set this there will be infinite
- "text" "your_text_here": if you want a popup-message to appear if the player frobhilights this object, you can put it here (for example "Waterarrow: 50g")

The script automatically uses the loot the player has. If one type of loot has exceeded, another type is used. If the player hasn't enough loot to purchase the item, nothings happen. If the amount of items available has exceeded the object will automatically be removed from game.
