WifTutorialGateHonk

Overview

Shown near one specific, hardcoded gate object while the player is using a vehicle disguise — presumably teaching that a disguised vehicle should honk to be let through a faction checkpoint.

Inheritance

• Inherits from: MrxTutorial (src/resident/mrxtutorial.lua) — a real corpus module, already documented under Resident Modules, not an opaque native-only engine class despite this file living in src/vz/.
• Imports: MrxTutorialManager, MrxFactionManager — both declared, neither referenced anywhere in this file’s body. The strongest instance of this pattern in the category (compare WifTutorialAlliesHonk, which also has one unused import each).

Instance pattern

A subclass of the corpus’s MrxTutorial task-framework base class — self-based lifecycle overrides, not the Inheritable/uGuid object pattern used in resident/. No module-level or per-instance state beyond what the base class itself tracks (_tEvents).

Functions

GetMessage()

Returns the fixed message key "[Tutorial.GateHonk]".

SetupActivationCriteria(self)

Resolves a hardcoded gate object via Sys.StringToGuid("0x000f9a64"), then registers a persistent Event.ObjectProximity (gate, player, within 20 units) that calls ShowMessage.

ShowMessage(self)

Checks Player.GetVehicleDisguiseState({Player = Player.GetLocalCharacter()}). If tostring(bDisguiseState) == "true", calls the bare global ActivateTutorial(self, true) — resolves through inheritance to MrxTutorial.ActivateTutorial since this file doesn’t define its own.

Events

• Event.ObjectProximity — persistent, hardcoded gate object, 20-unit radius. Being persistent, it keeps re-checking every time the player re-enters the radius rather than firing only once.

Notes for modders

• Trigger key: "GateHonk". Self-arms via a persistent proximity event.
• The gate’s object GUID is hardcoded (0x000f9a64, resolved via Sys.StringToGuid) rather than resolved by label — tied to one specific placed gate in the level.
• ShowMessage compares tostring(bDisguiseState) == "true" rather than a plain truthy check — the same “stringify before comparing” idiom seen in WifTutorialVehicleDisguise, likely because Player.GetVehicleDisguiseState can return a non-boolean/nil sentinel the author wanted to exclude from matching real true.
• Both imports (MrxTutorialManager, MrxFactionManager) are declared but never referenced anywhere in this file — likely vestigial, possibly copy-pasted from a similar tutorial.
• No SetupCancellationCriteria or SetupCompletionCriteria override — completes via the inherited 20-second timer, not the 10-second pattern common elsewhere in this category.
