Hey guys, this may be a dumb question, but ♥♥♥♥ that. Basically, i can't figure out how to use SetWhichMOToNotHit. My current and obviously wrong version looks like this:
Code:
function Create(self)
   self:SetWhichMOToNotHit("Main Thruster Blast Ball 1",-1);
...

The console does provide some obscure feedback, but i can't make sense of it whatsoever. Just for good measure, here's the Wiki page:

What am i doing wrong, and what should i do to make it right?

SetWhichMOToNotHit requires a pointer, not a string.

Basically, do this:

for particle in MovableMan.Particles do
if particle.PresetName == "Main Thruster Blast Ball 1" then
self:SetWhichMOToNotHit(particle,-1);
end
end

That'll make yourself not hit the particles, by the way, not the other way around, but it'll work just as well.

Also, your limbs, attachables, and head will still collide.

SetWhichMOToNotHit, like many Lua functions, doesn't work with pure presetnames. You have to make a pointer for that object, such as in:
for thing in MovableMan.Particles do
if thing.PresetName == "Main Thruster Blast Ball" then
self:SetWhichMOToNotHit(thing,-1);
end
end

EDIT: heck, ninja'd!

Ah, ok, thanks. I got around the problem of the particles hitting the limbs by making the particles ignore the actor, instead of the actor ignoring the particles.

Problem solved. :)
