I have run into a bug with one of my scripts for automatic doors. The script opens a door in the room when you shoot a prisoner in a cell. In the next room a script closes the door again behind you. But the first script immediatly opens the door again (it must still be active). My question is: how do I end the script, so that it only runs itself once?

The script is:



Note: this script is from the following thread: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=109868&b=23

Right after you active the door with your first script, send that script into a state that isn't being used (effectively ending the script).

If that script will NEVER be used again... you also use the "destroy" command.

I was actually thinking of something more like this:



Your "state=2" line is missing the second colon, btw. Thought I should mention it to ya, just for future reference. That comma should be a colon to tell the engine that you're starting the list of actions and stopping the list of conditions.

Thank you very much! The door stays closed so it works

But I am still having one big problem that is related to this script.

If I die or restart the game the entity that controls the script is not respawned into the game (so now the door will not open). A user will be have to completely exit the game and restart it to play again from the beginning. This problem was already there before the change to the script. Can anything be done about this? I am thinking if there is a function to reset all scripts when you start the level?

Hehe, sometimes you ask and then find the answer just after...

I made the entity spawn when destroyed and that makes it appear again in a new game.

Check the attached image for details.
