  Help with code: Not creating AEmitter/Gibbing ObjectI need help with this code... It gibs the object, but wont create the Emitter.
Code: function Create(self) self.LTimer = Timer(); self.projectile = CreateAEmitter("Particle Sniper Bolt","EAF.rte"); end function Update(self) if self.LTimer:IsPastSimMS(50) then MovableMan:AddParticle(self.projectile); self:GibThis(); end end ^^^ Fixed need help with this code Code: function Create(self) end function Update(self) self.boltspeed = self.vel; if self.boltspeed < 180 then self:GibThis(); end end it keeps saying it cant compare with a nill number or some thing thank you for any help.

Re: Help with code: Not creating AEmitter You forgot to set the position of your emitter.

Re: Help with code: Not creating AEmitter/Gibbing Object He updated the OP.
@OP: I'm not sure why you're setting self.boltspeed, then promptly comparing it. Why not just use self.Vel? |

Re: Help with code: Not creating AEmitter/Gibbing Object Wait I think I know what he got wrong, he's trying to compare a vector with a number. And the variable for velocity is "Vel".
So I'm assuming you'd need to find the velocity... Trig time(?) Code: self.Vel.X/cos(RotAngle) = Actual Vel self.Vel.Y/sin(RotAngle) = Actual Vel Since... Code: Horizontal Velocity = Velocity*cos(RotAngle) Vertical Velocity = Velocity*sin(RotAngle) Then from there... Code: If self.Vel.X/cos(RotAngle) == self.Vel.Y/sin(RotAngle) and self.Vel.X/cos(RotAngle) < 180 and self.Vel.Y/sin(RotAngle) < 180 then Should give you the idea... Hopefully my math is correct :S |

Re: Help with code: Not creating AEmitter/Gibbing Object ok... i get it... but now it spams the console with
ERROR: blah blah... : attempt to call global 'cos'(a nill value) |

Re: Help with code: Not creating AEmitter/Gibbing Object Code: function Create(self) end function Update(self) if self.Vel.X/cos(self.RotAngle) == self.Vel.Y/sin(self.RotAngle) and self.Vel.X/cos(self.RotAngle) < 180 and self.Vel.Y/sin(self.RotAngle) < 180 then self:GibThis(); end end and i am attaching this to a AEmitter that is acting like a projectile. |

Oh blah, in front of all the trig functions call "math." like math.cos, math.sin. Since we're calling functions from the math class. |
