Well, seeming as you have helped me numerous times, I guess you're the guy to ask about scripting. Basically, I've written this script that is designed to teleport a player to another destination after a certain amount of time. Here is what I have:

;Triggers

:state=0,plrwithinzone=1:state=1
:state=1,timerstart,timergreater=60000:state=2
:state=2,plrmoveto=OUT

;End of Script

However, nothing happens. I do have a trigger zone named OUT aswell. Any ideas?

I'm not ply, and I'm not the greatest scripter. But I think your problem lies in the line:



I believe that your problem is that you are starting the timer on every iteration through the code. Meaning: Every time the script is checked at this line, the timer is started. And if it is started all the time (and in effect restarted every time it gets to this point), then it will never hit 60000.

Now, I could be entirely wrong on this. But, just as an aside (and to humor me a little), try the following code:

Thanks I got it working, also, is there a way to make it so that when the player is in a certain area for 10 seconds, they win?

Just curious, but was it because of my answer? I'm not the best in scripting, but if I was right I'd like to know cuz that means I'm getting better.

I would assume so. Just modify the winzone script (make a backup copy first) to include a timer condition.

fantastic. not bad for writing that off the top of my head without looking anything up, huh? I guess I'm a better scripter than I give myself credit for. (I still suck, but at least I'm trying!)

Yup, that's good, Leon.


@marc steene:

Your scripts are in working order... or at least, I can see how they would make sense to someone starting out, but just remember that you need to have any action commands go after the second colon ( : ) on a line and the conditions go before that second colon.
