How can I ask in a function for a teleporter to check if it´s activated or not?
if teleporter_a_1.controller:isActivated() doesn´t work.
if teleporter_a_1.teleporter:isActivated() neither.
I´ve checked the script reference but it seems that there´s no way to call it...
teleporter_a_1.controller:isEnabled() works, but always. Because it exists. And what I need is to check if it´s activated, not if it´s "there" (either activated or not).

The problem with this is that it returns always true (it´s always enabled, but it has 2 states: deactivated or activated).
I need it to return true ONLY if it´s activated.

Yes, that's why it should be:
Code: Select all
teleporter_a_1.teleporter:isEnabled()
And not:
Code: Select all
teleporter_a_1.controller:isEnabled()
Just like I wrote before. You tried
controller:isEnabled(), while it should be
teleporter:isEnabled(). This works. I tested it.

I´m an idiot... why I never tested that.... WHY???
Thanks a lot, you´re a true hero!!!
I need to embrace the fact that not all controllers are teleporters but all teleporters are controllers...

Just pass a negative number to gainExp(). You can't lower a champion's level this way, though (nor by any other means that I am aware of).

Hi guys!
Q: How to avoid that the dormant entity can be attacked by the party before being awake and functional as an enemy?
Thank you so much!

The summon stone's wake-up animation takes about 5 seconds by my reckoning, so here's one quick and dirty solution:
1: Place an invisible wall object on the same tile as the summon stone to 'shield' it.
2: Place a timer (with timer unchecked and disableSelf checked) set to 5 seconds and connect it to a script that destroys the invisible wall.
3: Use the same trigger that activates the summon stone's controller to also start the timer, which will destroy the invisible wall at about the same time the summon stone is fully awake.
