{SOLVED} Throwing pebbles - events after each.

[Nixxon]

Hey Guys,

This one is really tricky for me.

There's a section in my game, where you have to throw a pebble at a char 3 times for an event to occur.

However, I would like to run a small scrip after each time the pebble is thrown.

Throw first pebble - char dialog 1 + an animation
Throw second pebble - char dialog 2 + an animation
The third time a pebble is thrown an event occurs which is currently handled in the room repeat exec (pasted at the bottom).

I could try repeat exec for the pebble count 1/2 however this would cause other issues.

Please find the existing code below -

Code: ags

// room script file



function hPedoMan_UseInv() {
  
if (player.ActiveInventory == iPebbles) {
  cEgo.Walk(200,  385,  eBlock);
      cPedoMan.Say("Oooo, I think I've got a bite!");
      player.LoseInventory(iPebbles);
      pebblehitcount += 1;
      
}
}
function room_LeaveLeft()
{
player.ChangeRoom (2,  326,  210);
pebblehitcount = 0;
}
function on_event(EventType event, int data)
{
  if (((event == eEventAddInventory) || (event == eEventLoseInventory)) && (data == iPebbles.ID))
  {
    int quantity = player.InventoryQuantity[data];
    if (quantity == 1) iPebbles.Graphic = 7; // fill in actual sprite slot numbers
    else if (quantity == 2) iPebbles.Graphic = 8;
    else if (quantity == 3) iPebbles.Graphic = 9;
  }

Repeat exec script.

Code: ags

function room_RepExec()
{
if (pebblehitcount == 3)
{ 
Display("You see a bookshelf.");
hHotspot2.Enabled = false;
hPedoMan.Enabled = false;
object[0].Visible = true;
cPedoMan.ChangeRoom(7, 100, 50); 
pebblehitcount = 0;
}
}

I don't think you need to use either room_RepExec() or on_event(). In the UseInv() function you can just do:

Code: ags

void setPebbleInvGraphic() {
  int quantity = player.InventoryQuantity[iPebble.ID];
  if (quantity == 1) iPebbles.Graphic = 7; // fill in actual sprite slot numbers
  else if (quantity == 2) iPebbles.Graphic = 8;
  else if (quantity == 3) iPebbles.Graphic = 9; // For robustness, either quantity >= 3 or another else clause 
}

function hPedoMan_UseInv() {
  if (player.ActiveInventory == iPebbles) {
    // This stuff happens every time
    cEgo.Walk(200,  385,  eBlock);
    cPedoMan.Say("Oooo, I think I've got a bite!");
    player.LoseInventory(iPebbles);
    pebblehitcount += 1;
    if(pebblehitcount == 1) {
      // Stuff that happens specifically the first time
      setPebbleInvGraphic();
    }
    else if (pebblehitcount == 2) {
      // Stuff that happens the second time
      setPebbleInvGraphic();
    }
    else if (pebblehitcount == 3) {
      // Stuff that happens the third time
      Display("You see a bookshelf.");
      hHotspot2.Enabled = false;
      hPedoMan.Enabled = false;
      object[0].Visible = true;
      cPedoMan.ChangeRoom(7, 100, 50); 
      pebblehitcount = 0;
    }
  }
}

That's awesome, thank you for the swift reply. I look forward to trying this out.

EDIT- Confirming works like a charm, I've removed the exec repeat code. All nice and tidy. This was my last hurdle, thanks very much!
