Just leave a lil credit note somewhere and its fine, I intend to release my puzzle pack for free at some point anyway.

Plus I like playing with the scripting objects anyway.

I will Thanks a lot for helping ^^

I really need to start studying these scripts and try to make something more complicated out of them...

Took a bit, and made a few mistakes since I made all of it before testing but it works now, only 4 buttons though and not randomised.

That is just the script i need
I need to figure out how you did that so i can learn to do it myself too

I can however reduce the buttons to 4 in my puzzle and use your script on it for the time being if that's okay?

I will probably do a tutorial for a 3 button one at some point for the wiki.

Made a few complexed puzzle my self http://hammerwatch.com/forum/index.php?topic=1739.0 theyre a total mess to look at if you saw em in the editor.

Ah yes, i looked at this and it looked really complicated But great work! I can't really do anything like that with this little knowledge i have about scripting XD

You will want 2 counters, 1 counter will track how many have been pressed and the other counts how many were correct.

Each time a button is pressed:
Check the button counter is equal to the order you want it pressed in (IE on the first button you want to be correct use a check to see if the button counter is = 0, if true add 1 to the correct counter)
Use a disable element on the area check so the button cant be repressed again instantly.
Add 1 to the button counter with a delay of 100.
Check if button counter is = 5 with a delay of 200

If true then all buttons have been pressed, so on the true output you do a check to see if the correct counter =  5.

If its true you can activate whatever you want.

If its false you set both counters back to 0
change the buttons doodads to pop back up, you can link a single change doodadstate to all of em. Add a delay of 1000
use enable element on all of the area checks so they buttons can be pressed again, with a delay of 1100.


I'm not brilliant at explaining it in words but if you can follow it you should have a functioning puzzle.
If you want it random every play through it becomes a bit more complexed but its possible, just a lot harder to explain in chat.

Hmm... i tried it but i can't seem to wrap my head around it...
Is it possible for you to do a quick map with the scripting in it? If you have the time of course

So here's the deal, i want to make a pretty simple puzzle, but i can't seem to figure out how to do it.  :/

Mainly, it's a simple button puzzle, you press the buttons in the correct order and that opens a certain door.



I can do some decent scripting but this is where i need help
