If Proximity not working

[+Afterburned]

Oh god, solve one issue and another rears its ugly head!

 

So now the players are OnProximity to a zone to see items. I want to have objects that commands work only in certain zones, so I use an If command on the objects action:

 

In the zone (if zone contains player) works.

Proximity to the zone (if the player is within proximity to the zone) does not.

 

This is the same on the emulator and the PPC (WherYouGo Android) that I have tried!

Any reasons or answers? (no wonder people give up on building these things!!!)

well, do you have the Lua code for this statement?

i think that it won't work in WhereYouGo/OpenWIG, because this functionality is not implemented (yet). but it should work in emulator

Hi matejcik, I was hoping you would pick up on this!

 

Here is the test lua code zipped (amazing we cannot upload a .lua file!)

There is one zone and one item, when you hit the command 'drop' it should tell you if you are in the zone, in proximity or otherwise. In and Out of the zone work but proximity does not.

 

Thanks for your help.

did you generate this code with a Builder? seems to be a builder bug.

the code says:

if   zoneJersey.ZoneState == "Proximity" then

and the correct code seems to be

if   zoneJersey.State == "Proximity" then

as i said, this will not work in openwig and whereyougo, because it's not implemented yet, but i can add it rather easily. and it should work on Garmins and Emulator/PPC player just fine

Oh yes, most definately built with Builder.

I started this one on Builder and thought I should see it through, however I may just finish it on Earwigo now!

 

Thanks greatly for your help, most of the people around here use Garmins, I may have to publish 2 versions, one for PPC and one for Garmin!

Hmm, Earwigo also outputs "ZoneState". Some research is apparently needed - watch this space...
