Hoping there is someone active on this tag I will issue a problem regarding Inform7 here. We currently use this language in college to get in contact with the structure of splicing projects and tasks in a group.
The current task is to unlock a door when a button is pressed and close it after one turn. The code I use is the following:
doorOpen is a number which varies. doorOpen is 0. [ = false]
TuerK is a door. It is south of Flur006R and north of R028a. It is locked.
Tbutton_flur is in Flur006R. Tbutton_flur can be pushed.
Instead of pushing Tbutton_flur:
now TuerK is unlocked;
say "Die Tür öffnet sich";
now doorOpen is 2;
Every turn when doorOpen is 1:
now doorOpen is 0;
now TuerK is locked;
say "Door closes!".
Every turn when doorOpen is 2:
decrement doorOpen.
Tbutton_raum is in R028a. Tbutton_raum can be pushed.
Instead of pushing Tbutton_raum:
now TuerK is unlocked;
say "Door opens!";
now doorOpen is 2;
Where I use doorOpen as an attribute to check whether the door was open or not. Problem now is that I can push the button, go to the opened room, it says that the door is beeing closed, but I can go out of the room without any problems and it appears that it is unlocked from now on.
On the other hand I have other code:
TuerSiT is a door. It is south of R024 and north of Flur005R. It is locked.
The Sicherheitsausweis unlocks TuerSiT.
Before going to R024:
if player is holding Sicherheitsausweis:
now TuerSiT is unlocked;
say "Der Sicherheitsausweis hat die Tür entsperrt";
otherwise:
now TuerSiT is locked.
Where the now doorname is locked works totally fine.
Is there anything I did incorrectly? I also tried to create hidden keys to have the unlocked because that was where I thought the problem was, but it seems I am unable to lock the door.
Any help is much appreciated!
So it appears the one first has to close the door, which was something I did not test on the other door. So
now the door is closed;
now the door is locked.
works all fine.
