Room Scripts only work once
|
It could be I'm doing something wrong.
But I created a bunch of room scripts to change a single variable
So let's say in room1 I have
| Code: |
#VAR varRoomscript cat
|
in another
| Code: |
#VAR varRoomscript dog
|
and again in another one
| Code: |
#VAR varRoomscript horse
|
And I am using this variable in a #SWITCH statement later on.
The problem is, everything worked fine the first time I tried this. But when moving into one of these rooms for the second time, the variable does not get changed.
The debugger tells me that the room script fired, but variable never changes. |

From your description, I deduce the scripts you show are the 'enable' scripts for folders representing your rooms? Could you show us the XML for one of these folders? Where is the @varRoomscript variable in relation to these room folders?

| Code: |
<class name="Room14732" keyword="Room14732" enabled="false" id="1404">
<onenable>#VAR varRoomscript dog</onenable>
<var name="varRoomscript" id="1429">dog</var>
</class> |
@varRoomscript was not defined when I set the triggers up. So it was created automatically and is situated in the root folder[/url] |

Actually, it looks like there is a variable @varRoomscript in that very folder. That could be the problem.

wouldn't this be a case where he would need to use the class syntax to access and store the variable as a global? Such as #VAR /varRoomscript dog ?

I think just manually creating the variable in the upper level of the map (i.e. NOT in one of the room classes) should fix things. Because the Room### folders are constantly being enabled and disabled, so no wonder you'd be having problems. As long as the script can see the variable somewhere else, it should be using that first instead of trying to recreate a more local version. (Just do remember to delete all of the other copies.)
