Oddity with player has object

I'm not sure if this is an oddity, or if there is a problem with my logic somewhere.

I've got an exit from the garden to the garage, which is locked, unless the player has a blueprint. If I play the game, pick up the blueprint and try to go to the garage, it works as expected. If I go straight to the garage without the blueprint, then it tells me that I need it.

But, if I go to the garage, get told I need the blueprint and then go to pick it up, the game doesn't seem to realise that I have it and won't let me in.

My code is...

if (Got(blueprint)) {
  firsttime {
    msg ("You read the electric blueprint and somehow get the lights working again.")
    UnlockExit (garage door)
    MoveObject (Sir Muscles Sexy Face, garage)
  }
  otherwise {
    UnlockExit (garage door)
    MoveObject (Sir Muscles Sexy Face, garage)
  }
}
else {
  msg ("Gah! No lights! You wonder what on earth happened to the electric out here. No electrikery is bad bad.")
  LockExit (garage door)
}

Can anyone see what is wrong with this?

Or, is there a better way to require an object to enter a room?


You're only checking for the player carrying the blueprint the first time they try entering the garage, you need to add the check for carrying blueprint as an 'else if'/else.

if (Got(blueprint)) {
  firsttime {
    msg ("You read the electric blueprint and somehow get the lights working again.")
    UnlockExit (garage door)
    MoveObject (Sir Muscles Sexy Face, garage)
  }
  otherwise {
    UnlockExit (garage door)
    MoveObject (Sir Muscles Sexy Face, garage)
  }
}
else if (Got(blueprint)) {
  Unlockexiit (garage door)
  MoveObject (Sir Muscles Sexy Face, garage)
}
else {
  msg ("Gah! No lights! You wonder what on earth happened to the electric out here. No electrikery is bad bad.")
  LockExit (garage door)
} 

Where is the code you pasted? Is it on the exit or the room?

Assuming "Sir Muscles Sexy Face" the player, and the script is on the exit and the exit is called "garage door" and is ticked as locked (and I have understood what you are trying to do)....

The first thing to check is if the door is locked. If it is not locked, the player can go though. If it is, then you want to check if the player has the blueprint. If so, unlock, otherwise the player is going nowhere.

if (not garage door.locked) {
  MoveObject (Sir Muscles Sexy Face, garage)
}
else if (Got(blueprint)) {
  msg ("You read the electric blueprint and somehow get the lights working again.")
  UnlockExit (garage door)
  MoveObject (Sir Muscles Sexy Face, garage)
}
else {
  msg ("Gah! No lights! You wonder what on earth happened to the electric out here. No electrikery is bad bad.")
}

I think I see what you mean, thank you.

I've modified it to the below, but am still having the same problem.

if (Got(blueprint)) {
  firsttime {
    msg ("You study the electric blueprint and somehow get the lights working again.")
    UnlockExit (garage door)
    MoveObject (Sir Muscles Sexy Face, garage)
  }
}
else if (Got(blueprint)) {
  UnlockExit (garage door)
  MoveObject (Sir Muscles Sexy Face, garage)
}
else {
  msg ("Gah! No lights! You wonder what on earth happened to the electric out here. No electrikery is bad bad.")
  LockExit (garage door)
}

Have I got my 'if's nested incorrectly?


The Pixie - You're correct, that's exactly what I am trying to do.

I've just ticked locked on the garage door exit and added your script... but when I pick up the blueprint and go to the garage, I still get the message:

go to garage
Gah! No lights! You wonder what on earth happened to the electric out here. No electrikery is bad bad.

The script is on the exit (garage door) and not the room.


I do not see how my script can get to "Gah! No lights! ..." if you are carrying the blueprints. Is there more than one blueprints object? Is there something else with this script on it, perhaps from when you were trying things before?


I have a 'blueprint' and also an 'electric blueprint'.

I've just deleted the 'blueprint', so I only have 'electric blueprint' left, and updated the script to look for 'electric blueprint', but I still get "Ga! No...".

I've deleted all my tests from everywhere else.


I just made a new item to open the garage with and a new exit and I'm having the same problem.


post your entire game code, and we can trouble-shoot it for you, easier for us to look at code, than for you (and us trying to help from what you tell us, which may not be useful for what the issue is, as you're still learning to code) to try to identify and post the bad code, for us to then fix it for you.

(if you modified the built-in stuff: filter -> show library elements -> copy... then we'll need to know what you did, so we can undo it, otherwise... you'll have to make a new game)


You guys are awesome, thank you.

You can either download the .aslx file from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1dhdXv445bKaE9NamlRNldoMk0/view?usp=sharing or code is below.

I've gone back to using the electric blueprint (in the kitchen when you start) and the garage door comes off the garden.

I think the only library element I've modified is eat:

eat #object#;drink #object#

Thank you so much!

Turns out locking overrides the script on the exit, so when you set it to be locked, it never gets to the script at all.

So, set it so it is not locked, and we will add our own attribute to the exit. New script:

if (GetBoolean(garage door, "beenunlocked")) {
  MoveObject (Sir Muscles Sexy Face, garage)
}
else if (Got(electric blueprint)) {
  msg ("You read the electric blueprint and somehow get the lights working again.")
  MoveObject (Sir Muscles Sexy Face, garage)
  garage door.beenunlocked = true
}
else {
  msg ("Gah! No lights! You wonder what on earth happened to the electric out here. No electrikery is bad bad.")
}

[Looks like an interesting game!]


Ah! Pixie! You are awesome, thank you!

It's a treasure hunt for my boyfriend's birthday. The game is a map of his house, and when he finds a gift in the game, he can physically go and find the actual gift in his house :)


Also... my jury-rigged method...

At the get blueprint script, just set a flag called 'blueprintcarried' when you pick up the object and an add blueprint to inventory script and a unlock exit script. On the drop of the blueprint, just unset the flag and move blueprint to current room and lock the exit again.

Then, when entering the garage, just put an IF script checking to see if the flag is set with a first time message.

Same thing I guess... So many ways to skin a Sir Muscles Sexy Face.

Good luck.
