Turning Off a trigger...

[hellblazer-14]

Hey Guys!!!

I'm making a cinematic, and have encountered a very annoying problem with the triggers. I am trying to turn off a trigger when I press the escape key, so it does not fire the remaining actions in it.

Here is my current code...
Could somebody tell me how to make the trigger stop working as soon as I press the escape key (the boolean becomes true when the escape key is pressed)... Thanks!!!

Wow, this will cause a hige leak, you are running the trigger over and over in miliseconds. I am assuming you added another trigger that will set skipcine to true when a player presses escape?

 

[hellblazer-14]

yes, I did. the once every 0.01 secs was something someone else told me to do. I noticed that it screwed everything up, so I asked here. What would fix it though? Thanks!

 

[CMarket]

Hmm...I am pretty sure it wasn't once every 0.01 second, it was just Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds.

The reason somebody told you this is because you can't play sounds on map initialization. Further more you should add the wait between 5 and 10 seconds before the If/Then/Else trigger since you can't hope the player to press escape in the first milisecond.

It isn't working... still.... heres the code again, changed as you said.

Hmm...Try doing this: Create a new trigger that has this code:

Event - Elapsed game time is 0.01
Condition - /
Action - Wait 10 seconds
      - If(All Conditions are True) then do (Action) else do (Else Action)
          If - Condition - SkipCine equal to false
          Then - Action - Run TRIGGER2
          Else - Action - Do Nothing(or put whatever you want here)

Ok so now create this TRIGGER2 and copy/paste everything from your original trigger there, but don't put an event. I believe this should work, if it doesn't I would suggest you take a look at your ESC trigger.

Thanks!

The only problem is, that trigger would only check if the escape key is pressed once. I pretty much need it to check every second from the start of the game until the trigger ends.

Basically the procedure is --

the game initializes, and one trigger causes two units to hold a conversation. When the player presses escape key, a boolean becomes true, causing the rest of the cinematic to start, and the trigger making the two units to talk stop, where it is at the moment, so they dont keep talking.

Up till now they just keep talking, over anything else already hapenning.... I'm really confused...
