Class = chain_sequence
A chain sequence can be used to chain many different line types (of any class) behind one line. For example, using a chain sequence it is possible to have a switch in your level that opens a door, dims the lights and lowers a lift all at the same time, or at timed intervals.
A special line class that sends chain events to a copy of itself while active. This allows lines that perform a timed sequence of actions. If the line is deactivated the processing of the chain sequence is stopped. Each of the chain events will be an activating event.
| Prm | Name | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ip0 | Chain Flags | Flags | • chsf_done_d disables the line after the chain sequence has been completed. • chsf_loop makes the sequence loop continuously. |
| Ip1‚Ip2,…Ip19 | Line Type 0…18 | Integers | List of chains. ID numbers of line types. A zero ends the list. For example: Ip1 = 1002 Ip2 = 1004 Ip3 = 1010 |
| Fp0 | Float | Randomness of intervals, in percents. A value of 100 means the actual interval of two chains is 0%…200% of the defined interval. | |
| Fp1‚Fp2,…Fp19 | Floats | List of intervals, in seconds. They define the number of seconds to wait before processing the corresponding Chain event. For example, if Fp1 is 2 and Ip1 is 5210, the chain 5210 is processed two seconds after the activation of the chain sequence. For example: Fp1 = 1.5 Fp2 = 3 Fp3 = 10.35 |
Line Type {
ID = 9000
Class = chain_sequence
Flags = player_cross
Flags2 = when_act | any
Time = -1
Count = 1
Chain Flags = done_d
Line Type 0 = 9002
Line Type 1 = 9003
Line Type 2 = 0
Fp1 = 1
Fp2 = 3
}
The line can only be activated by the player crossing it (Flags = player_cross), the line can be triggered in any game mode, and any skill setting (Flags2 = any). The line carrys out it's effect when activated (Flags2 = when_act). Once activated it waits 1 second (Fp1 = 1) before sending a chain event to Line ID 9002 (Ip1). Then after three seconds (Fp2 = 3) it sends a chain event to Line ID 9003 (Ip2). There are now no more lines to be triggered (Ip3 = 0) so it waits till the lines it has triggered have finished whatever they are doing (Ip0 = done_d) before deactivating itself. The Line can only be activated once (Count = 1)
