Force Cage Shut Down script

Hey guys, does anybody here know the script to shut down a force cage for TSL? Like when the player is inside one and someone shuts it down.

-Thanks

You need to do two things. First, you need to get the cage to play the shut down animation:

Code:

AssignCommand(oCage, ActionPlayAnimation(202, 1.0, 0.0));

Second, you need to destroy the invisible placeable that blocks you from entering or exiting the cage:

Code:

DestroyObject(oCageBlocker, 0.0, 0, 0.0, 0)

The tags vary, so you'll have to look them up.

Thanks, but how do I put all that in one script? [Im sorry im horrible at scripting.]

No worries... this one is pretty simple. As I said you need to look up the tags, but I can type out everything else:

Code:

void main() {



        object oPrisoner = GetFirstPC();

        object oCage = GetNearestObjectByTag("tag", oPrisoner, 1);

        object oCageBlocker = GetNearestObjectByTag("tag", oPrisoner, 1);



AssignCommand(oCage, ActionPlayAnimation(202, 1.0, 0.0));

DestroyObject(oCageBlocker, 0.0, 0, 0.0, 0);



}

If the prisoner is someone other than the player, just replace

Code:

GetFirstPC();

with

Code:

GetObjectByTag("tag", 0);

Also note this doesn't play the cage shut off sound. But there is a universal script in the game for that; it would be easier to run that through the DLG file in addition to this, since everything is already set up.

Thanks. Do you add this line under the pc part

Code:

GetObjectByTag("tag", 0);

if your trying to release you and another npc?

Then you would need to do everything twice, using different variable names, like such:

Code:

void main() {



        object oPrisoner = GetFirstPC();

        object oPrisoner2 = GetObjectByTag("tag", 0);

        object oCage = GetNearestObjectByTag("tag", oPrisoner, 1);

        object oCageBlocker = GetNearestObjectByTag("tag", oPrisoner, 1);

        object oCage2 = GetNearestObjectByTag("tag", oPrisoner2, 1);

        object oCageBlocker2 = GetNearestObjectByTag("tag", oPrisoner2, 1);



AssignCommand(oCage, ActionPlayAnimation(202, 1.0, 0.0));

DestroyObject(oCageBlocker, 0.0, 0, 0.0, 0);

AssignCommand(oCage2, ActionPlayAnimation(202, 1.0, 0.0));

DestroyObject(oCageBlocker2, 0.0, 0, 0.0, 0);



}
