Hello to everyone,

i was busy, so i had no time to check the Forum again, yet.

Thank you very much, to all, who are helping.
The Server where i am playing, at the moment, went offline for maintenance.
So i wont be able to test it now, but will do later.

The mentioned way looks nice, thank you =)

Best regards. Deniz`

Help / Re: Motion Sensor help

Yeah i already found out that i can name any Lamp the same name.
Thanks.

Why you telling me to work with OnPlayerTouch.
Look my Screenshot, it IS working with OnPlayerTouch.

I am new to this Game and Event-System, Blockland uses.
Please speicify a bit more from the topic: zone bricks/events.

I had it simple, but then it didnt work as i wanted it to work.
Make a Wall with a Lamp, and a baseplate in front of it, with the
Events. Let a couple of People walk over/off it at the same time.
You will see, it will start to NOT work on the way, it should.

And still got the Problem, that a Player, who joins the Server
and walk over my Sensor-Plates, does not "have" the Variable.
So the Event Check cant be performed and the Lights wont be on.

Help / Motion Sensor help

« on: May 24, 2010, 08:31:15 PM »

Hello, i just bought Blockland yesterday and worked out a cool House.
I wanted to add a Motion-Sensor (using Events) to my Door.
To be exact, to the place in front of my Entrance.
Which switches ON a light, for 20 seconds.
And after this 20 seconds, the light switches OFF automatically.

Well, it worked not as i wanted to.
Additional Info:
- I am playing on a Internetgame. So i want, that the Motion-Sensor works on every Player.

Here is a Screenshot of my Ground-Event (the Plate, a person walks over, to activate the Sensor)



At first i got a Question to VCE Mod - SubSystem (marked Red, upper right corner of the screen). Is it used in the correct way? "1 10" <-- to Run from Line 1 to Line 10, from this VCE_ifVariable.

Then, let me explain my Event:
- When a Player touches the plate (walks onto it), it checks if the Variable Sensor2 is 0
- Sensor2 = 0; Means Lights are currently OFF, so they could now be switched ON
- Sensor2 = 1; Means Lights are currently ON, so they CANT/shouldnt be switched ON now
- When Swnsor2 = 0, the Lights are getting switched ON, and the Value of Sensor2 is Set to 1 (which means, lights are currently ON)
- After that delay of 20 seconds, after they got switched ON, the lights will get switched back OFF, and the Value of Sensor2 gets back to 0 (which means, the lights are OFF and COULD be switched ON again, by the next "PlayTouch")

Now couple of things happen:
- 1.) Works ONLY @ me
- 2.) Works perfect.
- 3.) The Lights are Blinking as a Strobo-light (On, off, on, off, etc....)

So, what i think is, that the variable Sensor2 is only client sided.
That means, that only me has this Variable in his Client.
I have made a Brick, where i made "VCE_modVariable -> Sensor2 Set 0" on Activate.
So that this Variable got declared to my Client.
After this, it worked fine.
But only until, others activated the Brick (and with that declared the Sensor2-Variable to his client) Then the Motion-Sensor worked on this Player aswell.
But when we, both together, jumped over and over, the Motion-Sensor.
It got buggy, and started to STAY OFF, or started to BLINK like strobo-light.

So i think i need a Server-Declared Variable, where every Player, uses THE SAME Value, of the current state of the Motion-Sensor (ON/OFF).

How can i manage the Motion-Sensor, to work propper on all Players, automatically?
How can i store a Variable to the Server, that everyone can access it.
PS: I am NOT having Admin-Rights on this Server, i am a normal Player.

Thank you very much, for reading until here and i hope you can help me out.
Meanwhile, i will search the Forums too. But i couldnt find anything helpfull yet.

Best regards,
Deniz
