Post subject:  Lua scripts that interact with eachother? *Solved
I want to make a Lua script that interacts with another Lua script directly. Example:

If self.blabla then
self.partnerscript.randcounter = 123
end

How would I do this?

Global Variables. EVERYTHING can access those.

But, there's probably a better/more specialized way.

Can you edit Descriptions with Lua the same way you can edit Mass/Health/ect? Maybe I can do that.

Code:
Obj. A

self.Johnny = 1

Obj. B

For x in movableman.stuff do
if x.presetname == Obj. A then
x = self.GuyI'mGonnaInteractWith
end
end

if self.GuyI'mGonnaInteractWith.Johnny == 1 then
stuffs
end

That works IIRC, I'm most likely wrong, and if I am, CC's lua is ♥♥♥♥.

That might do the trick, but the partner will be pretty random.

Try looking at the teleporter code for some partnering stuff.

The teleporter script adds itself to a list and the partner does the same. Then it just interacts with the said list. That wouldn't work very well with what I'm doing, since I'm making a Device. Roon's method looks good, going to try it.

EDIT: I was thinking of something. Is it possible to switch the magazine of a gun with a different one?

That's most likely hardcoded, I don't think you can even check it. If you want to have various magazines you can always lua the fireing. Also Findude, that was just an example, you can always make the search more specific.

How do you use Lua to drop the weapon you're currently holding?

Code:
local cont = actor:GetController();
cont:SetState(Controller.WEAPON_DROP);

I changed WEAPON_DROP to BODY_JUMP for testing, and CC crashed with this:

Looking at that, I'm not really sure.

NVM, got it working using: self.parentactor:GetController():SetState(Controller.WEAPON_CHANGE_PREV,true);

Ah, crap. I forget the second argument. That would be the problem.
