@MLC, yes. You need Administrator privileges to run B23. So I just copied all the files over. I've been using stuff that uses lua with no problems...


EDIT: After I put the lua at the particle, it worked. Could copying all the files from B23 to B22 made it so I can use lua?

Maybe all that was changed to include lua was content in dll files and stuff like that. It's possible.

That's probably what it was. In the frameworks, it has a bunch of files that, well, i dunno what they do. Still, they probably changed from B22 to B23. After all, I did change ALL of the data files it accessed.

EDIT: Yeah, if you change the resource files with another program, it becomes that program. Thus, I'm running B23 under the name of B22. Interesting...

Also, how would I make an actor gain health?
<edit> At say 1 hp/sec</edit>

I have searched so much but can't find the code, and the wiki is broken.
I really think we should have a forum wiki.

function Update(self)
if self.hptimer == nil then
self.hptimer = Timer();
elseif self.hptimer:IsPastSimMS(1000) == true then
self.hptimer:Reset();
self.Health = self.Health + 1;
end
end

Um... Any way to stop it healing when health is more than 100?


Oh and, I tried 'if self.health < 100 then'

You probably didn't try hard enough. Change

elseif self.hptimer:IsPastSimMS(1000) == true then

to

elseif self.hptimer:IsPastSimMS(1000) == true and self.Health < 100 then

Thanks.

It worked
I tried that 2 minutes ago, but i used:

In your non-working script,


needed to be


You forgot the "if" and the "end".

Health should also have been capitalized.

I'm not and administrator on my Mac, and I run B23 just fine...

I got what I was doing to work, with a few changes:

1. I use the Autocannon now, since the missle was propelled, and changing it's mass had next to no effect.
2. The code now reads:


What happens is the rounds fire, then after a few seconds fall slowly, and the smoke trail makes 'em look like streamers. A few more gibs to add some oomph, and it's done.
