Anfängerfrage zu combined commands

ich habe eine Frage zu den kombinierten Kommmandos.

Ist es möglich, die Option nur bedingt zu nutzen?

Beispielsweise kann man bei IJ4-FoA “benutze LKW“, aber auch “benutze Kaugummi mit Kohlerutsche“ nutzen, sprich, je nach Gegenstand ist es ein kombiniertes Kommando oder eben nicht.

Theoretisch würde ich eine Variable bei allen Gegenstände setzen, diese bei Bedarf evaluieren und je nachdem (vermutlich via Lua?) den Befehl “Benutze“ eigenständig benutzen oder in Kombination mit einem anderen Gegenstand (also kombiniert).

Bevor ich mich verrenne mit einer Idee, die überhaupt nicht umsetzbar ist, die Fragen: ist mein Ansatz korrekt? Ist das überhaupt machbar in VS?

Beste Grüße und Danke im Voraus.  

Visionaire has multiple methods for managing item/object usage.

1. drag & drop item system.

2. set item (manually set item as held item - with this one you can also check what the current active command is)

3. command based item system (requires work, but my preferred method as it's more flexible)

You don't need to use Lua script at all - it's entirely optional.

(@AFRLme the question was about action text when using combined command. How to control when the conjunction word should appear)

Hallo @esmeralda & @AFRLme,

vielen Dank für Eure Antworten! (Hi, thanks for your replies, sorry, but I wasn't notified about your answers - I checked my thread the first days and b/c there were no answers I thought my problem was to trivial and so I gave it up (the thread)).

Everything works - I also managed to handle the [use ItemX with ItemX]-thingy.

One more question:

* Is there a way to rename items / objects? (the displayed object/item-text: e.g. "full cup" to "half-full cup" a.s.o.? I couldn't find an option in the action-set.)

Best regards

Yes, it's possible, but not simple. The best solution is probably to create a value under the values tab of the object you want to rename, then inside of a mouse enters action part you use Lua to rename the object/item/character to the string inside of the value. You can edit the string part of the value with Lua script.

ok here's a script I wrote for someone recently...

add that to the script section of your project. leave as default script type (definition). now to use it, create a value inside of the object/item/character you want to rename & set the default name in the string section - name the value as "name". Now create an on mouse enters action part & add an execute a script action part & then add a line of code like so...



or alternatively if you want to generate names for a multi-language game, then do something like this instead of the single line code (above).



the language names need to be exactly the same as what you have created in your project otherwise it won't work.

the reason we are using values is because name changes are not stored in the save game file data, but integer & string data of values are. oh, almost forgot... here's how to update the string part of a value.



something along the lines of that.

changeName( t[ game.StandardLanguage:getName() ] )

You would still use the same function I shared with you in the post above. I also forgot to mention that you might want to wrap the execute a script in the mouse enters action block with an if query to only have it update the name from the default names you have written if a condition is met.

Yeah, cool, I'll try it. I already tried it with a second item, but if I "replace" it manually (remove "full cup" from inventory - add "half-full cup" to inventory) the new item is being added at the end of the inventory.

PS: I still don't get a notification about answers in a thread - is it a setting here somewhere? Gotta find out it now.

Thanks to both of you!

oh, I have a function I wrote the other year that lets you replace/swap out items.

replace/swap item & insert item

Both should still be valid. Replace item removes the current item & inserts the item you specify into the same item slot that the old one occupied. Insert item inserts a new item you specify before or after the specified item.
