Turning Off a trigger

[hellblazer-1]

Hey Guys

i have a pretty simple problem, which is that I am trying to disable a trigger. It works like this - a trigger makes two guards have a conversation, until the player presses Escape.

Then the trigger is turned off and any remaining functions in the trigger arent fired. Is this possible? Because I've tried everything, and the trigger keeps firing its remaining actions after the escape key press.

Thanks!

Trigger - Turn Off

Use this function.

That's normal.
And, no, "Trigger - Turn off" doesn't help, as that only disables the events, not the currently running actions.

Well, the usual plan is to set some boolean to true on the event "skips a cinematic",
and add a bunch of
If Boolean equal to true then
- Skip remaining actions
to your cinematics trigger.

thanks AceHart, I'll give that a go. Sounds right to me.

i did try everything else, such as Trigger - Turn Off.... so i hope this works. Thanks! :thup:

--- I did this, but I think its wrong. Could someone tell me how to make it work??? I haven't really done this before... Thanks

[Flare]

your trigger is running at map init, so how are you expected to set skipcine = true?

 

[Larcenist]

Also that only checks if it's true once, if it's false at that point it'll fire all actions even if it's set to true later on.

 

[hellblazer-1]

Thanks for helping Guys!!!

Well, your right, the trigger only checks if the boolean = true or false once, at map init. I need it to check from the time the map initializes until the player press the escape key. Anybody know how that would be triggered?

 

[tom_mai78101]

For every 0.01 seconds, if skipcine = true, do skip remaining actions.

Do the triggers yourself. I'm too sleepy.

 

[AceHart]

Event:
- Player 1 skips a cinematic
Conditions:
Actions:
- Set Boolean = true

Event:
- Time - Elapsed time is 0.0 seconds
Conditions:
Cinematic part 1
wait
If Boolean equal to true then skip remaining actions (nothing in "else", just this)
Cinematic part 2
wait
If Boolean equal to true then skip remaining actions (same here)
Cinematic part 3
...

 

[tom_mai78101]

You've got to be kidding me...

That takes ages, plus the time it takes to copy/paste...for a cinematic that have about 200+ actions...

 

[hellblazer-1]

true xD I would be up hundreds of hours to do that, but thank you very much for your help AceHart. Really appreciated!

 

[AceHart]

Copy&pasting the "if" takes a couple seconds max... what's the problem?

 

[tom_mai78101]

The parts, along with number of times of copying/pasting in a trigger.
