Need help with TrapFrobInert on a book

darthsLair on 23/2/2015 at 16:17

I created a book under the archetype book. I have frobinfo set to script. My concrete book has TrapFrobInert in Script1. I have frobinfo set to none,none,none on this concrete book.
My understanding was that a TurnOn would enable the script from the archetype. Am I wrong here?

Lever cdlink to book=TurnOn which enables script, and TurnOff=disables script?

I have tried this all ways, and just can't get it to work. I have done searches but to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

You didn't mention any links from the TrapFrobInert object to the book ... if you look at ObjFrobInert (the base script for TrapFrobinert) you'll see:

[TABLE="class: inline]
<tbody>[TR="class: row1]
[TH="class: col0]Links [/TH]
[TD="class: col1 leftalign] <kbd>(http://dromed.whoopdedo.org/dromed/link/scriptparams) ScriptParams</kbd>(<samp>FrobInert</samp>) [/TD]
[TD="class: col2 leftalign] Linked to objects that will have the <kbd>FrobInert</kbd> metaproperty.
[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

So I think you need to set up a ScriptParams link and use the FrobInert metaprop on the concrete book instead of mucking about with the Frobinfo settings themselves.

There is documentation (http://dromed.whoopdedo.org/tnhscript/trapfrobinert) here but the table says it inherits from ObjFrobInert, so you have to read about that too.

The script doesn't work with the object it's added to; it works with objects it's linked to. So the lever -CD-> a marker -ScriptParams (data: FrobInert)-> the book.
TrapFrobInert goes on the marker.

You do not add FrobInert or FrobInfo to the book The script handles it all.

Hi Robin,
Thanks, I read the documentation, but must have missed the ScriptParams link.

Thanks again ! :thumb:
