| Post subject: | Inventory copying/pasting |
I made & butchered a script that, when pressing a certain button, is written to: 1. Create a certain actor, but not spawn it in the game 2. Copy the weapon being held by the controlled actor and give it to the unspawned actor 3. Delete the controlled actor and switch control to the new actor (which is created at the original actor's exact location) 4. Play a little sound and have the new actor FlashWhite() for a brief time. The script has no initial errors in the console, but when I press the activation button I get the error: Code: "WWM.rte/******/************.lua:16: attempt to index global 'target' (a nil value)" Here is the script, I appreciate any help I get with this. http://pastebin.com/f1fd173be |

you explicitly have "target" defined as nil what the ♥♥♥♥ did you expect to happen you need to actually set the variable to a value in order to use it gasp, lua does not read minds EDIT: holy god this code is literally lafe-level you arbitrarily set variables to local or global, randomly decide to omit the self prefix from semi-locals, have the object set to delete in your keypress statement such that the thing's going to remove itself before it finishes the code and oh my god this is comical |

90% of that code isn't by me, so, suck it. Also, the object deleting itself where it does works perfectly and is intended. |

then you are absolutely terrible at copying code your variable naming is all kinds of ♥♥♥♥ up and inconsistent as all hell you also haven't even acknowledged that I found your problem in the first ten seconds of looking at your code how exactly do you expect lua to know what self.target is bonus: how exactly do you expect lua to know what just plain target is, when you haven't defined either of them |

| Post subject: | Re: Inventory copying/pasting |
the code won't work btw. It won't compile because I left self.target in there. So does this script run on an actor? If so, I can fix this script up really quick for ya. |

Yes, it does. It's run on two of them, so that when one actor runs it, it turns into the other. |

This should work. I don't have the files to actually test it though. But it looks alright. http://pastebin.com/m56d5b8f3 |

Still the ")" expected near 'gun' error on line 16. http://pastebin.com/m7f33bd7f And if it's all possible, could you make the edits to what I have here instead of your version? It's a hassle to keep changing it back and forth every time. |
