InLine Trigger

[igi]

Lo folks,

IIRC, all the IE games have the InLine trigger.

"Returns true if the target creature with the scriptname specified in the 1st parameter is in a line with the object specified in the 2nd parameter. This object does not have to be able to see the target."

 

Anyone know anything more? Does it check the x coordinates of two creatures, or the y coordinates, or something else? Does it work?

In short, does anyone, know anything.

Two objects are always in line

[igi]

So, it's always true?

My (admittedly limited) testing shows this trigger is always false.

Anyone have anything to show otherwise?

[devSin]

If it works at all, my guess would be that it's only for Icewind Dale (I think they actually used LOS there, too, so it might do something), or PS:T.

 

As Avenger posted, there is no real practical application for checking if a line exists between two points (since it would always be true), so it may do something entirely different than the obtuse trigger name would suggest.

[BigRob]

Perhaps it checks if there is an open line of sight between two points (no objects in the way). But if it always returns false....

 

Does it get used anywhere that might give a clue as to what it does?

Nope.

 

 

As no-one seems to know anything about this, I'll move the thread, in the interests of a tidier forum
