Gate Dies When Closed

01-25-2009, 12:08 AM

Ok, normally my trigger works fine but in rare occasions when the gates are closed by a player instead of resetting their life it will be destroyed.. Here is what I use..

Opening Gate:

Trigger:

Open MG

Events

Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -open mg as An exact match

Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -open mg as An exact match

Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -open mg as An exact match

Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing -open mg as An exact match

Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing -open mg as An exact match

Player - Player 6 (Orange) types a chat message containing -open mg as An exact match

Player - Player 7 (Green) types a chat message containing -open mg as An exact match

Conditions

Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

GateDead[1] Equal to False

Then - Actions

Set GateLife[1] = (Current life of Gate (Vertical) 0001 <gen>)

Wait 0.50 seconds

Destructible - Open Gate (Vertical) 0001 <gen>

Set GateDead[1] = False

Else - Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

GateDead[2] Equal to False

Then - Actions

Set GateLife[2] = (Current life of Gate (Vertical) 0002 <gen>)

Wait 0.50 seconds

Destructible - Open Gate (Vertical) 0002 <gen>

Set GateDead[2] = False

Else - Actions

Closing Gate:

Trigger:

Close MG

Events

Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -close mg as An exact match

Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -close mg as An exact match

Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -close mg as An exact match

Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing -close mg as An exact match

Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing -close mg as An exact match

Player - Player 6 (Orange) types a chat message containing -close mg as An exact match

Player - Player 7 (Green) types a chat message containing -close mg as An exact match

Conditions

Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

GateDead[1] Equal to False

Then - Actions

Destructible - Close Gate (Vertical) 0001 <gen>

Wait 0.50 seconds

Destructible - Set life of Gate (Vertical) 0001 <gen> to GateLife[1]

Else - Actions

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

GateDead[2] Equal to False

Then - Actions

Destructible - Close Gate (Vertical) 0002 <gen>

Wait 0.50 seconds

Destructible - Set life of Gate (Vertical) 0002 <gen> to GateLife[2]

Else - Actions

Now I have a theory, but not shure if I'm, right.. Becuase the event can be 1 of 7 different options I think it saves the life of the gate for that player so when another player (not the one who opens it) closes the gate it has the saved life equal to 0 and so it dies..

So any ideas? And if my theory is right any ideas on how to fix it?

Matarael	Perhaps you should close it slowly.

Anitarf	Your theory is incorrect, the triggers will run for all players when one player types a chat message, otherwise the game would desync (you'd get a server split). Consider instead what happens when someone types open when the gate is already open.

Thanks Anitarf, I will add in an already open check before it resets its health.
