Mission 19 #158
Description
Hello, my brother was stuck on mission 19, whatever he typed, including the right command flarigo & flarigo & flarigo & the mission was not a success, so we decided to have a look at the code and wonder why the check.sh file deletes the flarigo.pids file on line 8 when it is used later on line 14
https://github.com/phyver/GameShell/blob/master/missions/intermediate/05_background/check.sh
command="$(gettext 'flarigo')"
PIDS=$GSH_TMP/flarigo.pids
_check() {
rm -f "$PIDS" # <-- here
echo "$(gettext "Let's have a look:")"
sleep 2
if [ ! -f "$PIDS" ]
then
echo "$(gettext "Mmm... I didn't see anything.")"
echo
echo "$(gettext "NOTE: you need to make sure the pyrotechnician sees all the fireworks while he is waiting.")"
return 1
fiThanks for letting us know.

As stated in the goal message, the pyrotechnician needs to see all the fireworks while he is waiting.
That happens when your run the
gsh checkcommand.So, when he starts waiting, I remove any reference to previous
flarigocommands, that's thermyou're asking about.Each
flarigo.shthat is run will recreate$PIDSby adding its own pid to it when the firework explodes. The check command wait a few seconds and then counts the number of pids in$PIDS. It fails if there are less than 3.This mission is rather new, and it seems there still are some problems. The goal might no be clear enough: you actually need to run all the commands (
flarigoandgsh check) at once, like inflarigo & flarigo & flarigo & gsh check.I'm still not sure what's the best way to explain all that, without giving to much info so that the player needs to think a little. Don't hesitate to tell me if you have any idea about that!

I think what's problematic is having to add the
gsh checkcall, up until mission 19 it's always used "outside" the mission itself.What do you think about adding a command
pyrotechnicianwhich description would be "ask the pyrotechnician to look at the sky" or something similar ?AntoineGiraud commentedon Apr 17, 2025

I agree with @Pilpin, until now there was never a need to call
gsh checkso I think we should specify it in the description to either run it in the same command or give a more explicit hint.erimpapova commentedon Jul 19, 2025
I provide my misleading thoughts, in order to help you form the mission's text in a way that will not lead to any of them.
I was thinking
I hope this helps.
Great Game by the way!!!
