I am attempting to build a script that fires from a plot point attached to a background to shunt players with different backgrounds into various starting locations. Aside from the advisability of this (if anyone knows of a better way, please let me know!) I can't seem to get either DoAreaTransition or UT_DoAreaTransition to work properly.

#include "utility_h" 

void main(){

void UT_DoAreaTransition(
    string starting_area,
    string starting_point
)     
}

Am I doing something wrong?

no 'void' before UT_DoAreaTransition

You also can't declare your string values at the same time you call on them (and you aren't assigning a value). It looks like you are trying to use them as string literals. This should be:

#include "utility_h"

void main()
{
        UT_DoAreaTransition("starting_area", "starting_point");
}

Excellent, thank you. It compiles wonderfully. Of course, if anyone knows of a more efficient way of determining new background starting areas...

if only all errors were this easy to solve

I clearly don't grasp the scripting language very well -- ramping up the complexity of the script (since having it call when the right background plot is set doesn't seem to work) I have attached it to a "routing area" where all characters hopefully start in and then get bumped to their proper starting areas.



This is what I BELIEVE the script should look like. The toolset disagrees.



#include "utility_h"

#include "plt_sa_000pt_backgrounds"

#include "wrappers_h"

#include "events_h"

#include "global_objects_h"





void main()

{

event ev = GetCurrentEvent();

int nEventType = GetEventType(ev);

int bEventHandled = FALSE;

switch (nEventType)

{



case EVENT_TYPE_AREALOAD_SPECIAL:

{

if (!WR_GetPlotFlag(PLT_sa_000pt_backgrounds, SA_GEN_BACK_TOWER_RAISED))

{

UT_DoAreaTransition("starting_area", "starting_point");

}

}

}

}

Hm. The language is case sensitive, so maybe the "PLT_sa_000pt_backgrounds" bit which should prolly be in uppercase. But you should get a compiler error message hinting you right away to the right (well, more like the wrong) line. Most of the time.

Once again, the assistance of the boards proves perfect and undeniable. YET, the script does not move characters based on background flags as I had hoped it would, which frustrates me.

EDIT: Solved. Issue with the format I was using. For future reference, the !WR_GetPlotFlag does something OTHER than what I was looking for. Anyone who hits this issue might consider if (WR_GetPlotFlag(PLT_PLOT, FLAG_NAME) == TRUE) instead.

[thebigMuh]

The ! in front of any expression logically inverts the expression's result.



The following statements are equivalent:

if (WR_GetPlotFlag(...))

if (WR_GetPlotFlag(...) == TRUE)

if (WR_GetPlotFlag(...) != FALSE)



Also, the following are equivalent

if (!WR_GetPlotFlag(...))

if (WR_GetPlotFlag(...) == FALSE)

if (WR_GetPlotFlag(...) != TRUE)



You can see where this is going



Ciao, muh!
