Put TweqOnOff on a metaprop and give Garrett the metaprop?
sNeaksieGarrett on 27/6/2013 at 22:47
Yup, I thought of that after writing my post and tried that. However, it didn't seem to work. I created a button, CD linked it to a marker with NVRelaytrap, and then CD linked from the marker to Garrett. You can't CD link to Player, that doesn't exist in the object hierarchy.

Try to CD it to the start point. In theory, the link should get moved to the Player object when sim starts.
sNeaksieGarrett on 27/6/2013 at 22:56
Nope, didn't work. I have heard that you can use game_mode_backup 0 that will cause a player object to appear into your copy of dromed, but that the command can cause corruption in the mission. I guess though that's only if you forget to turn it back off.
LarryG on 27/6/2013 at 23:01
NO!! It is that the state that the mission was in when you exited game mode has become persistent, screwing up your mission. Do NOT save the mission once you use set game_mode_backup 0. You will be VERY sorry of you do.

Okay thank you. So that method won't work then. I guess I misunderstood, because I saw a post by Sluggs in some old thread that mentioned a player object being created and I assumed he had found a way to make it work. I didn't even type the command in yet, I wanted to make sure before using it.
LarryG on 27/6/2013 at 23:08
The issue that you have is that you want to put TweqOnOff on Garrett, but have no free slot for adding a new script? The metaprop idea should work. If it doesn't try putting the script on Avitar and make sure Garrett inherits.
sNeaksieGarrett on 27/6/2013 at 23:14
I did do the metaprop idea, but didn't work. I think the culprit is that I'm CD linking to Garrett and not Player. We used a NVCreateAndLink before to make a ParticleAttachment link, I was thinking I could use NVLinkBuilder in this instance...

You can use the script TweqOnOff on avatar instead of garrett, just like Larry said. And NV's relaytrap to send script messages to a named object, in that case "player". that method does work in theory. i'll do that tomorrow and post the necessary info how to set it up
EDIT:
here you go, i didnt even need a relay or controldevice link,
NVTrigRoomPlayer on all rooms marked as "
Outside" and the design note
NVTrigRoomPlayerTDest="player" does the trick:
going in an outside area activates the breath emitter, going inside stops it
mission and dark.gam are in this file > (

check the
Rooms on the hierarchy, on the Outside room i used the
NVTrigRoomPlayer , then look at
avatar, where i put the
TweqOnOff script, because garrett's script property was full
sNeaksieGarrett on 28/6/2013 at 22:40
Dromed crashes when I try to load test.mis. Yes, I did replace dark.gam
It's okay though, I managed to make it work with just what you told me! Thank you very much TypeRED!
