PressurePlate

A plate that can be pushed down in its receptacle using a PushRock or optionally, the player or an NPCControl entity.icecube. This can optionally start an event when actuated for the first time.

Data Arrays

  • data[0]: If 1, the player is allowed to actuate the plate
  • data[1]: If 1, an NPCControl entity.icecube can actuate the plate
  • data[2]: An event id whose event will start when the plate is actuated for the first time
  • vectordata[0]: the offset to displace the plate when it is pressed relative to its receptacle

Additional Data

  • activationflag: If it's not -1, it's the flag slot that if true, will set hit to true and not allow any deactuation. Anything lower than -1 is considered invalid and will result with the plate being stuck as deactuated even when pressing on it.

Setup

moveobj is set to the first child of the entity.model which is the actual plate of the model inside its receptacle unless the entity.originalid is the TestButton AnimID where the moveobj is set to the entity.sprite.

If the entity.originalid is AncientPressurePlate, a GlowTrigger is added on that plate object setting this NPCControl as the parent and the glowparts to one element being the plate's MeshRenderer.

If the activationflag flags slot is true, the hit is set to true and the moveobj's local position to vectordata[0] which sets the plate as pressed and visually renders it so.

Finally, a few adjustements occurs:

  • The entity.alwaysactive is set to true
  • The gameObject's isStatic is set to true
  • The entity.rigid is placed in kinematic mode without gravity
  • nointeract is set to true
  • The layer is set to 0 (default)
  • The scol is disabled

Update

We first needs to determine if hit should be set to true or false.

If the activationflag is not negative and its flag slot is true, then hit is set to true. Otherwise, it is set to true until the actioncooldown expires at which point it is set to false. The actioncooldown is decremented by the game's framestep whenever it is set to true in this case.

From there, if hit is true, the moveobj local position is set to a lerp from the existing one to vectordata[0] with a factor of a 1/5 of the game's frametime. If hit is false, it's the same lerp, but the to vector is Vector3.zero instead. This basically smoothly displaces the plate when hit is true and pulls it back to its starting position when hit is false.

OnTriggerStay

This does nothing if any of these are true:

  • The other gameObject is the player beemerang
  • The activationflag (if it's not -1) refers to a flag slot whose value is true

  • All of the following are false:

    • The other gameObject's Hornable doesn't exist (meaning this isn't an entity.icecube)
    • The other gameObject tag is PushRock
    • data[0] is 1 and the other gameObject is the player
    • data[1] is 1 and the other gameObject is an NPCControl with its icecube not null

  • If hit is false, SwitchSound(true) is called

  • The other gameObject's Hornable onground is set to true (the entity.icecube)
  • If data[2] exists and isn't negative, the event whose id is data[2] is started with this object as the caller and the value is set to -1 after the start which prevents the event to be started again
  • hit is set to true
  • actioncooldown is set to 10.0

OnTriggerExit

This does nothing if the other gameObject is the player beemerang, or if none of the following are true:

  • The other gameObject has a Hornable (it's an entity.icecube)
  • The other gameObject tag is PushRock
  • data[1] is 1 and the other gameObject has an NPCControl
  • data[0] is 1 and the other gameObject is the player

The following occurs if the conditions above are met:
