Summary | 0006376: Wrong trigger for the hint about the hammer | ||||
Description | In Tears of St. Lucia, in the walkway room (approximately -78.87 806.32 -37.25 -41.9 -37.4 0.0), the hint (narrator and text) about the hammer is given even when the hammer is not visible because it is in the next room behind locked doors. Perhaps the current hint is triggered on distance between player and hammer, and on players direction? This behavior is present in at least TDM 2.12/64 #10584 (beta212-01), but likely also in TDM 2.11. It appears in the video below, said to play TDM 2.09. Possible solutions: * Require player to be much closer to the hammer, perhaps even require player to be on the scaffold on the same level as the hammer and looking at it before the hint is revealed. * Maybe require player to read the note in the vestibule about the scaffold before the hint is even possible. * Maybe withhold the hint until user has been near and looked at the hammer at least once or twice (so the player gets an opportunity to try pushing the hammer by their own without being told the solution). | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | * In walkway room, move close to doors leading to vestibule and turn to where the hammer is. * The hint appears. | ||||
Additional Information | It can be seen in this video at at 53 minutes 25 seconds (playing 2.09): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7_PKKiRgLs | ||||

There seems to be a similar issue for triggering the hints * how to reach the pipe in A New Job (the first voiceover hint). * the voiceover "Great. This isn't the back door I had in mind." in Tears of St. Lucia. ... and if there is no support for requiring direction to also be a requirement for hints/voiceovers to be triggered, then this defect should be rephrased as a feature request to add such functionality. |
|
My suggested fix is to only activate the trigger-look script when the player is in the room with the hammer. When the script is active it can trigger when looking, creating the message, when not it won't. | |
That would be an improvement for the hint for the hammer. Is there documentation available for what may trigger a hint like this? Is it possible to set requirements like distance to target, number of looks at target, length of look at target, picking up or touching a target et.c.? | |
I also noted that the trigger for discovering the main entry of Canonbury Tavern in A New Job seems off. It seems to trigger when hiding behind crates near the light post (south east of the main entry) and regardless of which direction the player is facing. It also does not trigger when seeing the main entry when coming from the west exit from Royston Court. | |
