Request Story Name of Door

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 08:48:31 GMT

I am trying to get the story height of a door in a custom door marker. Is this possible? So far - the output of the Requests make no sense to me.

I am a GDL newbie, and I have tried all manner of REQUESTS listed here:

Hopefully this is clear, let me know if there is more explanation required. Thanks!

Do you want story name or story height?

To get the story name use the following:

success = request("Home_story_of_opening", "", _index, _story_name)

text2 0, 0, _story_name

To get the story height you can use GLOB_HSTORY_HEIGHT:

text2 0, 0, GLOB_HSTORY_HEIGHT

Or (a better way) is to add this line after the "Home_story_of_opening" request shown above:

success = request("Story_info", _index, _nStories, _index, _name, _elevation, _height)

text2 0, 0, _height

Awesome, thank you Matt!

I was doing:

success = request("Story_info", _index, _nStories, _index, _name, _elevation, _height)

text2 0, 0, success

Now it works like a charm!
