Re: Noob Help Pistol is an HDFirearm, not a HeldDevice, methinks.

Re: Noob Help Code: for actor in MovableMan.Actors do if actors.HeldDevice == "Pistol" then MovableMan.Actors do actors.Vel = actor.Vel(3, -10); end end That should work. Maybe. |

Re: Noob Help casey wrote: nice try but all of those are wrong Code: for a in MovableMan.Actors do if a.HDFirearm==Pistol then a.Vel=Vector(3, -10) end end okay, heres what mistakes you made. pistol can't have () that's only for varibles. a or in your codes actor is just a new name for an item, it isn't special, and you sited a different variable "actors" which caused a (nil'). even then it only works for the instant that you press enter. for it to be ongoing you need to set up a timer & put the code into a notepad. im still learning about timers P.S. spaces arent read, they dont acctually matter It's funny how wrong your post is. What are you talking about pistol can't have () it's only for variables? () is for functions. It usually encases arguments. How the ♥♥♥♥ is that going to cause nil? Wrong again. An instant that he presses enter? Ongoing? What? Who mentioned that. Augh. This isn't working because the variable doesn't exist YOU GUYS. Oh and spaces do matter because Code: forainMovableMan.Actorsdoifa.HDFirearm==Pistolthena.Vel=Vector(3, -10)endend is not going to work. |
