I'm creating an RPG, so I need a lot of doors and teleports to other levels in my game world. Now, I don't want to use another action/function for every single door, so I want to load the level from the string1, which is manually set in WED. But I can't seem to get this working. This is my code up till now:
action door()
{
set(my, POLYGON);
my.emask |= ENABLE_CLICK;
my.event = door_open;
}
function door_open()
{
var door_percentage;
if((event_type == EVENT_CLICK) && (vec_dist(player, my) <= 100))
{
while(door_percentage < 100)
{
ent_animate(my, "open", door_percentage, 0);
door_percentage += 3 * time_step;
wait(1);
}
level_load(my.string1);
in_building = 1;
}
}I tried different contexts for string1, like: "player_house.wmb" player_house.wmb But it loads an empty level each time. Can anyone tell me what's the matter with my code? Cause I don't feel like using a different action for every door I use.

i think the level_load command destroys first the level (and your string1 too) and then loads the level. But at this time your string1 is = NULL so the engine loads an empty level.
Try this:
STRING* dummy = "#32";
...
str_cpy(dummy,my.string1);
level_load(dummy);

uhm is you mouse activated + mouse_range?
does it work if you replace my.string1 true the normal name of the lvl "lvl.wmb"
"empty"

Well, I changed things to:
STRING* load_level = "#32";
action door()
{
set(my, POLYGON);
load_level = my.string1;
my.emask |= ENABLE_CLICK;
my.event = door_open;
}
function door_open()
{
var door_percentage;
if((event_type == EVENT_CLICK) && (vec_dist(player, my) <= 100))
{
while(door_percentage < 100)
{
ent_animate(my, "open", door_percentage, 0);
door_percentage += 3 * time_step;
wait(1);
}
in_building = 1;
str_cpy(load_level, my.string1);
if(door_percentage >= 100) level_load(load_level);
}
}
But now I get the error message: Error E1515 Invalid arguments in door_open And then it loads an empty level. My mouse is activated and I've set the mouse_range. Yes, my level loads when I replace my.string1 with the real level name.

First of all you should put the level_load command into an own function that starts with to be sure that this function is still running after the level_load commnand has been executed, because you should add at least a after the level_load(); Try something like that (I have not tested this code):
action door()
{
set(my, POLYGON);
my.emask |= ENABLE_CLICK;
my.event = door_open;
}
void load_new_level(STRING* level_name)
{
my = NULL;
level_load(level_name);
wait(1);
}
function door_open()
{
var door_percentage;
if((event_type == EVENT_CLICK) && (vec_dist(player, my) <= 100))
{
while(door_percentage < 100)
{
ent_animate(my, "open", door_percentage, 0);
door_percentage += 3 * time_step;
wait(1);
}
in_building = 1;
if(door_percentage >= 100) load_new_level(str_create(my.string1));
}
}

Hi! Since you changed level you probably have to re-activiate the door with set(my, POLYGON); my.emask |= ENABLE_CLICK; my.event = door_open; place these lines in a function and after loadint the new level call the function. Ottawa
