Temple_pit coding issue

[Zerosangheili]

I'm attempting to make a full set of pits open/close, but can't seem to get it to work correctly. I'm extremely new to any type of coding, so bear with me here.

I have 4 levers in total, but when two are activated I want to block the player in by opening a wall of pits. Opening this wall of pits also releases a strong monster for them to slay. Once slain, the monster will drop the appropriate key to close the pits for the player to continue through the dungeon.

Here is the basic floor plan. The monsters in the center of the room will be released. The others are fillers for now.


This is what I've come up with so far, but I know it's not right. It tells me there's an unexpected symbol near and. Referring to the "trapPit1:open() and"

Code: Select all

Pit Trap
function pullLever()
	if accessLever3:getLeverState() == "activated" and
	accessLever4:getLeverState() == "activated" then
		trapPit1:open() and
		trapPit2:open() and
		trapPit3:open() and
		trapPit4:open() and
		trapPit5:open() and
		trapPit6:open() and
		trapPit7:open() and
		trapPit8:open() and
		trapPit9:open() and
		trapPit10:open() and
		trapPit11:open() and
		trapPit12:open() and
		trapPit13:open() 
	else
		trapPit1:close() and
		trapPit2:close() and
		trapPit3:close() and
		trapPit4:close() and
		trapPit5:close() and
		trapPit6:close() and
		trapPit7:close() and
		trapPit8:close() and
		trapPit9:close() and
		trapPit10:close() and
		trapPit11:close() and
		trapPit12:close() and
		trapPit13:close() 
	end
end

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

So simple. I can't believe I didn't try that. Thank you very much.

Code: Select all

Pit Trap
function pullLever()
  local lv = false
  if accessLever3:getLeverState() == "activated" and
     accessLever4:getLeverState() == "activated" then
     lv = true
  end
  for i=1,13 do
    local p = findEntity("trapPit"..i)
    if p then if lv then p:open() else p:close() end end
  end
end
