 Trip Mine script not working I have a script that is attached to an MOSRotating. The script is suppose to find other MOSRs of its type and then shoot an MORay at them for the "laser." If an actor touches one of the lasers, then the 2 forming that laser gib. The problem is that it doesn't make the laser or the MORay. The script is below. Code: function Create(self)
self.haspartner = false;
self.destroyself = false;
end
function Update(self)
local curdist = 200;
for particle in MovableMan.Particles do
local avgx = particle.Pos.X - self.Pos.X;
local avgy = particle.Pos.Y - self.Pos.Y;
local dist = math.sqrt(avgx ^ 2 + avgy ^ 2);
if dist < curdist and particle.PresetName == "Particle C Trip Mine Layer Active" and particle.ID ~= self.ID then
self.partner = particle;
self.haspartner = true;
end
end
if self.haspartner == true then
local partnerdir = math.atan2(-(self.partner.Pos.Y-self.Pos.Y),(self.partner.Pos.X-self.Pos.X));
local triplaser = CreateMOSRotating("Particle C Trip Mine Layer Laser");
triplaser.Pos = self.Pos;
triplaser.RotAngle = partnerdir;
MovableMan:AddParticle(triplaser);
-- triplaser.Frame = local dist / 5;
end
if self.haspartner == true then
local raystartvector = self.Pos;
local rayendvector = self.partner.Pos;
local moid = SceneMan:CastMORay(raystartvector , rayendvector , 0 , 0 , true , 3);
local mo = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(moid);
end
if mo ~= nil and mo.RootID == actor.ID and mo.ID ~= self.ID then
self.destroyself = true;
end
if self.destroyself == true then
self:GibThis();
self.partner:GibThis();
end
end

Re: Trip Mine script not working oh my god you are using for movableman.particles in update you crazy person.
and shitty distance finding.
and check the console for errors

Re: Trip Mine script not working I don't see what's wrong with "for particle in MovableMan.Particles" Well, I fixed up the script a bit. Code: function Create(self)
self.haspartner = false;
self.destroyself = false;
self.LifeTimer = Timer();
self.lengtha = 0;
self.lengthb = 0;
end
function Update(self)
if self.LifeTimer:IsPastSimMS(199) and self.haspartner == false then
local curdist = 200;
for particle in MovableMan.Particles do
local avgx = particle.Pos.X - self.Pos.X;
local avgy = particle.Pos.Y - self.Pos.Y;
local dist = math.sqrt(avgx ^ 2 + avgy ^ 2);
if dist < curdist and dist > 4 and particle.PresetName == "Particle C Trip Mine Layer Active" then
self.partner = particle;
self.haspartner = true;
end
end
end
if self.LifeTimer:IsPastSimMS(200) then
self.LifeTimer:Reset();
end
if self.haspartner == true then
local partnerdir = math.atan2(-(self.partner.Pos.Y-self.Pos.Y),(self.partner.Pos.X-self.Pos.X));
local triplaser = CreateMOSRotating("Particle C Trip Mine Layer Laser");
triplaser.Pos = self.Pos;
triplaser.RotAngle = partnerdir;
MovableMan:AddParticle(triplaser);
self.lengtha = (self.Pos.X - self.partner.Pos.X);
self.lengthb = (self.Pos.Y - self.partner.Pos.Y);
triplaser.Frame = (math.sqrt(self.lengtha ^ 2 + self.lengthb ^ 2)) /5;
end
if self.haspartner == true then
local raystartvector = self.Pos;
local rayendvector = self.partner.Pos;
local moid = SceneMan:CastMORay(raystartvector, rayendvector, 0, 0, true , 3);
local mo = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(moid);
end
if mo ~= nil and mo.RootID == actor.ID then
self.destroyself = true;
print("Got target");
end
if self.destroyself == true then
self:GibThis();
self.partner:GibThis();
print("Self destructing");
end
end I don't have any errors now, but it still doesn't self-destruct.

Re: Trip Mine script not working well, lets see, it loops whatever you've got in that code block for however many particles are on the screen, which is some cases is over 2000. if you have more than one of these, you can multiply that by however many of them there are. very soon youre going to get a lot of lag.
the way you've fixed it up makes it a lot nicer, but i still dont see why it cant be in create.
your problem is actor.ID. i think you mean mo:IsActor(), but i cant be sure. also, your endvector is flawed, because its the vector to trace along, not the vector to trace to.

Re: Trip Mine script not working How do you trace along a vector with Lua? Sorry if that sounds kinda dumb.

Re: Trip Mine script not working it means you need to create a vector that describes the difference in position from one mine to the next. basically, the vector should be the difference of both vectors, or self.Pos - self.whatevertheotheroneiscalled.Pos.

Re: Trip Mine script not working Well, I have this: Code: if self.haspartner == true then
local raystartvector = self.Pos;
local rayendvector = (self.Pos - self.partner.Pos)
local moid = SceneMan:CastMORay(raystartvector, rayendvector, 0, 0, true , 3);
local mo = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(moid);
end but I'm not sure this is working. (Another part of the script might be causing problems.)

Re: Trip Mine script not working you're going to need to ignore self.ID
you need to do if GetMOFromID(mo.RootID):IsActor() or however the syntax should go rather than mo.RootID == actor.ID. the second one doesnt even make any sense.

Re: Trip Mine script not working try
if dist < "what you want" = explode
if else dist > "what you want" = deactivate

Re: Trip Mine script not working I think he wants a directional trigger, not a radial trigger.
And hellboy, he already did that.

Re: Trip Mine script not working Oh hey, this old topic... Yeah, with my current Lua knowledge, I can do this now with no problem. Thanks for the help, though, people.
