Post Re: Requesting Team Lua Script for Deployable Turret
Code:
function Create(self)
   local curdist = 20
end

function Update()
   for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
      local dist = SceneMan:ShortestDistance(self.Pos,actor.Pos,true);
      if dist.Magnitude < curdist and actor.ID ~= self.ID then
         self.Team = actor.Team;
      end
   end
end


Code:
function Update()
   for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
      local avgx = actor.Pos.X - self.Pos.X;
      local avgy = actor.Pos.Y - self.Pos.Y;
      local dist = math.sqrt(avgx ^ 2 + avgy ^ 2);
      if dist < 100 then
         self.Team = actor.Team;
      end
   end
end

These are probably wrong but it's my best guess at the moment.

Edit: Nope, same error every time... wtf is with that...

Are you coping from the post?
My next best guess is that the spaces are making it angry. >_>
Delete all the spaces, it won't look pretty but it should still work.

function Update(self)

not function Update()

function Update() would be trying to define a function called update

but the create self is already ended

Aha! Got it!

Code:
function Create(self)
for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
local avgx = actor.Pos.X - self.Pos.X;
local avgy = actor.Pos.Y - self.Pos.Y;
local dist = math.sqrt(avgx ^ 2 + avgy ^ 2);
if dist < 100 then
self.Team = actor.Team;
end
end
end

Doesn't work with spaces but otherwise it seems to be working now! :grin:

Thank you for all your help gentlemen! I have to work on it's armour, how it breaks away and such now. At the moment it is a block with a gun. A good looking block with a gun. :P

It runs on a core of plasma so I'm going to make it so you expose the core then it looses health and explodes. :P

On to my second question. This is for bonus points. Can I make it make it controllable?

It has a hover effect and stuff... needs adjusting but I wanted to get it working then I can make it look pretty. :)

Also quick gif is quick. :P

Well, you would have to make it some type of actor to make it truly controllable. (i.e. ACraft, ACDropship, AHuman, ACrab). So, unless you do that, I don't think it will be able to be controlled

But I thought you said that it is an ACrab, so I'd imagine, you should be able to control it. :/

Tis ACrab... But to deploy it I've have to make it a particle. So I can put into a round>magazine>firearm etc etc. I just wondered if there was anyway of re-gaining control of it. Just an extra I wanted to do, it's perfectly capable of holding its own if I can’t make it controllable.

Red2.lua
Code:
function Create(self)
myself = CreateACrab("Turret2")
myself.Pos = self.Pos
myself.Vel = self.Vel
MovableMan:AddParticle(myself);
end

function Update(self)
myself.Pos = self.Pos
myself.Vel = self.Vel
self.ToDelete = true;
end


Code:
AddActor = ACrab
   CopyOf = Dep Turret
   InstanceName = Turret2
   ScriptPath = DepTurret.rte/Actors/MiniDepTurret/Red2.lua
   Buyable = 0


Ok well I guess this should work.

But save/copypaste your current folder to the desktop un case this doesn't work.

Ok
1.) Make a new lua file called "Red2.lua"
2.)Put the code i gave you in Red.lua and put the other lua file you have in Red2.lua
3.)Add the .ini code I gave you somewhere in uh the ini.

Hope it works.
