Post subject: | Ok... This ain't funny anymore. |
I keep getting errors that look like this: Just a ton of symbols and words with no meaning what so ever. At first I thought it was funny and ignored it, but its really starting to get on my nerves. This is what triggers it: Code: function Create(self) self.curDist = 20; local i = Vector(0,0); i.X = math.cos(self.RotAngle) * self.curDist * -1; i.Y = math.sin(self.RotAngle) * self.curDist; local ParentID = SceneMan:CastMORay(self.Pos, i, self.ID, -1, false, 0); if ParentID ~= 255 then local j = MovableMan:GetRootMOID(ParentID); self.Parent = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(j); if self.Parent:IsActor() then for i = 0, MovableMan:GetMOIDCount() do if MovableMan:GetRootMOID(i) == self.Parent.ID and MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i).PresetName == "Grapple Gun" then self.gun = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i); end end if ToHeldDevice(self.gun):IsActivated() and ToHeldDevice(self.gun):IsFull() ~= true then local Smoke = CreateAEmitter("Smoke Emitter"); Smoke.Pos = self.Pos; Smoke.RotAngle = ToActor(self.Parent):GetAimAngle(true); MovableMan:AddParticle(Smoke); end end end self.Lifetime = 1; end Or more specifically, this: Code: ToHeldDevice(self.gun):IsFull() ~= true What I have here is a MOSRot emitted off of a gun. It finds the actor I'm using and its gun, runs the script, and deletes. All in one update. What I'm trying to do with that line is fire some effect particles when the gun is fired, but if you keep holding the fire button it shoots the effects out non stop. This is where the broken line comes in, it limits the particle creation to as long as the gun still has ammo (A few frames). Is there is any way to limit the creation without using the broken part, or fixing it so the broken part still works? |

Man... that's new to me. Does it not do it when the IsFull() line isn't there? Maybe there's just something inherently wrong with it. |

Try pming Grif. I think that banned users can pm, but I'm not sure. |

They can. Anyway, for those that haven't encountered errors like this before, its generally because something is being called on an object in game, using functions that it holds (or doesnt hold), and it breaking. Roon, you should probably be using ToHDFirearm, incase HeldDevices dont have IsFull and all that jazz, though they should, according to the wiki. As I said in PM, try splitting up the check. I might tinker with it tonight, but probably not. |

Thanks for the help guys. Both splitting the checks and using ToHDFirearm didn't work. I got it working by emitting it off of the muzzle flash and applying some hacky lua to get it doing what I want. |

Well, it's a workaround. Be nice to find the root of it though. |
