Post subject:  I need help with this script real quick, small script.
Hey, so I have this weapon the "C4 Shotgun"

I set it up so that it can be detonated by pressing Z and also by using a detonator, but the detonator only works sometimes and I'm not sure why. 80 percent of the time it doesn't blow up the C4. Here's the code

Code:
function Create(self)
end

function Update(self)
   if (UInputMan:KeyHeld(26)) then
      self:GibThis();
   
    print("C4 Spray planted!");
    --Make sure the C-4 Spray list exists.
    if c4ListS == nil then
   --If not, create it.
   c4ListS = { };
    end
    --Add this C-4 to the list.
    c4ListS[#c4ListS + 1] = self;
end

end



And the code the detonator itself uses, but I don't think this is the problem
Code:
function Create(self)
    print("C4 Spray detonated!");
    --Make sure the C-4 Spray list exists.
    if c4ListS ~= nil then
       --Go through the list of C-4 Spray.
   for i=1,#c4ListS do
       --Make sure the C-4 still exists, it may have been destroyed.
       if MovableMan:IsParticle(c4ListS[i]) then
           --Detonate the C-4!
      c4ListS[i]:GibThis();
       end
   end
    end
    --Empty/create the red C-4 list.
    c4ListS = { };
end

if not C4ListS then
c4ListS = { };
else
c4ListS[#c4ListS + 1] = self;
end

What do I do with that? D:

I don't know Lua at all, just some common sense.

The way you have it, it's checking whether a list exists, and REGARDLESS of whether it does, adding to that list. That means that most of the time it WON'T add to the list properly, or will do other strange stuff.

The way mine is written, it will only add if there IS already a list.

You appear to have a missplaced end statement, and the list adding code belongs in Create.

No, he's got the correct number of ends, they're just tabbed horribly.

Here, this should work, and also isn't terrible syntax.

Code:
function Create(self)
   if c4ListS == nil then
      --If not, create it.
      c4ListS = { };
    else
      --Add this C-4 to the list.
      c4ListS[#c4ListS + 1] = self;
   end
end

function Update(self)
   if (UInputMan:KeyHeld(26)) then
      self:GibThis();
   end
end

Not to be difficult, but I still don't know what to do with that.

Where in the code do I put it?

Like I said, I don't know Lua at all.


Could you fix up my script? :[

Please avoid double posting in the future.
Anyway, even if you don't know Lua, the only way you're going to learn Lua is to figure out how everything fits together. In order to do that, you'll want to learn the syntax first. It's very difficult to help with code that can't be read.
