 Parent Absence Deletion Applied to a magazine: Code: function Update(self)
if not (MovableMan:IsHeldDevice(self.parent)) then
self.ToDelete = true;
self.LifeTime = 0;
end
end Spits out this: Code: ERROR: [string "Magazines.Obj00001 = ToMagazine(MoveableMan...."]:1: attempt to call global 'ToMagazine' (a nil value)
What do?

Re: Parent Absence Deletion that can't be all of your code
Unless CC's attachable based lua is really that broken.

Re: Parent Absence Deletion Nope, that's all of it.  So then should I just check for the nearest actor and the gun it's holding? Then make it delete based on that.

Re: Parent Absence Deletion Wow. Looks like it's trying to use ToMagazine to convert the MO pointer to a Magazine pointer but the function doesn't exist, similar to the lack of ToArm and ToLeg I suppose. Goddamn.

Re: Parent Absence Deletion I want to hurt this game. So much.
I mean really why even put something in there if it's broken.

Re: Parent Absence Deletion It likely just does To<self.ClassName>(self) when you try to run an update string on self, which is probably a MO pointer before create(). Obviously it wouldn't actually do the preceding code what with the <> and all, but something to that effect, still running the original function, and as it doesn't exist, causing a crash.

Re: Parent Absence Deletion Do you have to use a magazine for the script? That's msot likely what's causing the problem.

Re: Parent Absence Deletion Errr yeah. The magazine has the sprite of a nuke, so it looks like it's mounted on a gun. When it shoots, the mag disappears (duh) and falls. But I want the mag to disappear completely as soon as it's fired.

Re: Parent Absence Deletion If your mag is finished and you reload, instead of falling it just disappears.

Re: Parent Absence Deletion Duh102 wrote: Discarable = 0 in the ini? Yeah, this. Possibly destroy the gun at the same time, smoking muzzle AEmitter on a dummy "device" particle spawned by the script. Also self.parent isn't a valid pointer anyway.

Re: Parent Absence Deletion Yeah, it's one of the lesser-known ones. I've used it only a few times for exactly that kind of effect. I think in Food Fight and maybe VaultTec.
