So, for Sweet Dreams I have multiple missions, and my checkpoints Lua scripts (called save stones in-campaign) have to communicate with the mission itself to work. So, I have to have different Lua scripts that use different mission names to communicate. (SweetDreams, SweetDreams2, etc.) But, the Lua isn't the problem. So, to make multiple checkpoints, I had to make several MOSRotatings (Checkpoint, Checkpoint 2) that used multiple different Lua scripts.

The problem is, When I create Checkpoint 2 in the ini, even when I try to create just Checkpoint, not Checkpoint 2, (via Lua) it makes Checkpoint 2! I can tell because the checkpoint keeps giving errors from Checkpoint 2.lua! If I try to make Checkpoint 2, it makes Checkpoint 2 just fine though. If I remove Checkpoint 2 from the ini, it'll make a normal Checkpoint just fine. In fact, I tested, what ever I name Checkpoint, it always creates Checkpoint 2!

Sorry if this is ridiculously confusing. Does anyone know what's wrong?

EDIT: Since no-one's replying, here's the gist: I have a checkpoint. I have to make multiple different types of checkpoints. But whenever I make a second type, no matter what, even if I try to make the first, it always makes the second. How do I fix this?

If you're using a "CopyOf = Checkpoint" to create "Checkpoint 2", make sure Checkpoint 2's PresetName is after the CopyOf line.

Edit: PresetName lines should be after CopyOf lines in general.

Anything you want to keep will have to be after the CopyOf, otherwise the CopyOf just overwrites it.

Not the entire bit of code.

Whatever is defined in the original Code will stay unless the CopyOf defines it again.
Ex.



And then you go



Then the Mass of the New MOSRotating will change but the original Gib will stay and the newly defined MOSRotating will Gib that and whats defined in the new one.

Hope that helps.

Right. Yeah, that's what I meant. Sorry for any misunderstandings that may have caused.

Hey, I never used copyof in my ini at all. I realized that would have been a smart idea and I tried it; no difference. I'll just make one type of checkpoint with really complex code that checks which mission it's in via mass to do it... (Each mission will give its checkpoints certain masses when they are spawned)

EDIT: It worked. Thanks anyway!
