I have a vending machine, which I have typed as container...
...I've read and re-read the documentation for q3ext but haven't found the solution.
19-Sep-2002:
Beta version. TLTcontainable type modified to call an action
when a TLTcontainable becomes 'contained' (i.e. when object is
put into a container or given to a TLTactor). The action is
named 'contained' and the default is to simply print a message
saying 'O.K.'. This allows authors an easy way to extend the
functionality by replacing the 'contained' action with one of
their own.
This change was prompted by S.A. George, who pointed out that
although the library handled (say) putting a lit torch into a
barrel of black powder perfectly well up to the point of the
torch being moved and then reported as being in the barrel etc.
it required convoluted coding to make anything further happen
(an explosion in this case) as a result.
Following on the example above, adding a replacement 'contained'
action to the torch that checks its location and triggers an
explosion if it has been put into the barrel is now very simple.
My thanks to Ali (S.A. George) for the useful feedback.
