As the title says, you can intercept the creation of any scripted object simply by finding the conversion function(ToAHuman, ToACrab, ect) and copying somewhere, and replacing it with your own function.

This is due to the game copying scripted MOs from a list in MovableMan, conveting them andd copying them into lists named after the ClassName that hold the functions and the variables of scripted MOs.

For an example, if I wanted to kill all scripted AHumans, I would do this:

And where I have a code injected:



Now, by looking at the lists named after the plural of the classname, like AHumans, you can change variables without the hackish ID indexed lists.
The lists have two things in them, lists containing the preset functions, and the pointers to an object reference that allows you to edit variables.
And set new variables.
Example(resets the fly up timer on destroyer cannon things):


Both of these do not work on attachables, attachables are covered with this:

Cure for zombie infection, basically?
Or lua death bomb?

Also fire proofing. But if one of my zombies on the field, the controller MO is already made, so no for that.
But Darlos9D's flamethrower uses the fire to control the health damage, so you could check if the particle is near, and neutralize.

Lua death bomb depends on how.

This can also be used to neutralize heat seaking missiles.

Oh, yeah, that makes sense!
Heat-seeking rocket jammer here we come!
MUAHAHA!

Wait, wait, wait. Does that mean that we can have Lua scripts running on different objects, but that can influence each other? If so, it surely does expand scripting possibilities quite a lot.

We could always do that. 's called a global variable.

Uh.
If so, then what exactly is this script for?

Global variables are non-private, and are target towards all scripts.
You can index by ID, but that runs the risk of bugs.

Anyway, both MOs have to be willing.
Oh, I found another method. Will add to the OP.

why didnt i see this topic before?
helpful, mail.

So does this only work on objects that have a script attached to them?

Yes. Apparently the in game engine uses these lists, so becareful.
