Hi all

Can you remember the open space in jharkendar where you can find the magic bow? Well if so, you will surely remember also that it's possible to arrive there but not to leave. I found (quite randomly really), the a tree there around is not simply a vob but a mover istead. In fact piranha bytes had programmed an animation for the tree. And they also placed a trigger script for triggerring it, but the problem is that they aren't link and I found no way to active the trigger.

Then, I tried to create another trigger to move the tree. I placed a zCTrigger just next the the tree. I set cDyn to TRUE, reactondamage to TRUE and damagetreshold to 1. But I still cannot simulate the damage like in the hidden bridge in irdorath. I remember that in irdorath if you aimed you could see the aim fixed in one place, but I cannot reproduce this.

Do you know, by any chance, if the aim is triggere by the zCTrigger directly, or by the ZCMobSwitch behind it? (I'm talking about the triggers in jharkendar)

My goal is to make the tree fall (it's already a mover with animation) by hitting it.

Thanks

i guess u have to enlarge the boundingbox(Area of hit) of the zCtrigger and set "reacttoObject: true" & "reactonTouch: TRUE". Which is kinda obvious, when u think about it. Plus, u have to place a MobInter behind the trigger, so that u can aim at something. Maybe the Mobinter is not necessary for triggering with a sword.
By the way, u can open the Irdorath ZEN and look at how its implemented there. It's most probably a trigger with boundingbox, which triggers the switch.

[Frank-95]

Thank you, by increasing the bounding box I managed to active the trigger

I found that there is another problem though. If I trigger the mover in the spacer it moves correctly, but in game it stops halfway. I tried to set cDDyn to false, and it went all the way down. So it seems that there is some collisions to stop it. Vobs around it have all cdDyn set to false.

I think that it's caused by the huge bounding box of the tree that collides with the ruins up there during the movement. But I don't why, I cannot adjust the sides of the box. They return to their original dimension

What do you think?

[TheEternal]

the boundingbox of the tree is defined by the 3d model of tree. u can turn cdDyn off and use a smaller vob with smaller boundingbox + set the showVisual attribute of the smaller vod zu false + cdDyn: true

[Milky-Way]

Alternatively, you could try to call a function just before starting the mover, and use Ikarus to set cdDyn to false. Once the mover is done, set it back to true, so you can actually walk across.

[Frank-95]

var int VALLEY_SHOWCASE_TRIGGERSCRIPT_FUNC_OneTime;

func void valley_showcase_triggerscript_func()
{
    if(VALLEY_SHOWCASE_TRIGGERSCRIPT_FUNC_OneTime == FALSE)
    {
        B_GivePlayerXP(XP_Addon_WackelBaum);
        VALLEY_SHOWCASE_TRIGGERSCRIPT_FUNC_OneTime = TRUE;
    };

    FF_ApplyOnceExt(valley_showcase_posttrigger, 2500, 1);
};

func void valley_showcase_posttrigger()
{
    var zCMover ValleyTree;
    ValleyTree = _^(MEM_SearchVobByName("VALLEY_SHOWCASE_TRIGGERSCRIPT"));
    ValleyTree.???
};

Which is the equivalent of cDyn in zCVob?

No, _zCVob_lightColorDyn is not the equivalent of cDyn, the mover remains crossable

[Milky-Way]

I never tried to do that with Ikarus, but looking at the things you are given, I assume it is in one of the last 3 fields.

  var int    bitfield[5];               // 0x0104 zCVob_bitfieldX_Xxx
  var int    m_poCollisionObjectClass;  // 0x0118 zCCollisionObjectDef*
  var int    m_poCollisionObject;       // 0x011C zCCollisionObject*

Maybe there is some documentation for it somewhere. (search forum and scripts for variable names and the object type mentioned in the comment)
If there is no documentation, you might have to either wait until someone comes by who knows, or you just try to output the values of those variables in a small test world for two vobs, exactly one of which has no dynamic collision and all other settings (except maybe position) are the same.

But you literally just explained it in the Ikarus-Thread

Try this:

myVob.bitfield[0] = myVob.bitfield[0] | zCVob_bitfield0_collDetectionDynamic; //add dynamic collision
myVob.bitfield[0] = myVob.bitfield[0] & ~ zCVob_bitfield0_collDetectionDynamic; //remove dynamic collision

Yes, because he looked it up and I only had to translate
(i.e. I felt it wasn't my task to do the searching)

But good to have the solution here as well so people using the search function can find it.

And to add some value to my post, here is a link to the Ikarus thread with brief explanation:

Thanks to you both for your answers

I needed to know what to search for
