 help!!!! hurting something that something follows Code: local targetA = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(grabobject);
if self.LifeTimer:IsPastSimMS(500) and self.stick == 0 then
self:GibThis();
end this dont work but everything else does. it says "attampt to index global 'targetA' (a nil value)", help?

Re: help!!!! hurting something that something follows try using grabobject.ID rather than just grabobject

Re: help!!!! hurting something that something follows now it says "attempt to index local 'grabobject' (a number value) on this line: Code: local targetA = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(grabobject.ID);

Re: help!!!! hurting something that something follows Since grabobject is a number (the MOID), grabobject.ID will cause an error. The real problem is probably this: Code: if self.LifeTimer:IsPastSimMS(50) and (self.stick == 1) then
targetA.Health = targetA.Health - 5
end
You need to verify that targetA is an actor before accessing the Health variable. One more thing; I recommend calculating distance between two objects (e.g. self.stickposition) using SceneMan:ShortestDistance to make sure the weapon works at the seam of maps that wrap.

Re: help!!!! hurting something that something follows Lua code comments don't work the way you think they do, if that's what you're attempting to do with the -- before and after certain blocks of code.
Further, just check if MovableMan:IsActor(targetA) == true

Re: help!!!! hurting something that something follows no i did the comments to find the lines more easily. so you're saying do this? Code: if MovableMan:IsActor(targetA) == true and self.LifeTimer:IsPastSimMS(50) and (self.stick == 1) then
targetA.Health = targetA.Health - 5;
end

Re: help!!!! hurting something that something follows And then replace Code: targetA.Health = targetA.Health - 5; with Code: ToActor(targetA).Health = ToActor(targetA).Health - 5;

Re: help!!!! hurting something that something follows The indentation of your code makes it hard to read but targetA is a local variable. You should probably work with self.target instead. One other thing that could cause you problems it the LifeTimer. If you constantly reset it, the code that reduce health will never run. You can test this by changing this code Code: if MovableMan:IsActor(targetA) == true and self.LifeTimer:IsPastSimMS(50) and (self.stick == 1) then
targetA.Health = targetA.Health - 5;
end
to this Code: if self.stick == 1 and MovableMan:IsActor(self.target) then
self.target.Health = self.target.Health - 1
end
Just like CaveCricket said self.target has to be an Actor pointer so you should probably try replacing this Code: self.target = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(grabobject) with this Code: self.target = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(grabobject)
if self.target.ID == self.target.RootID then -- target is an actor
self.target = ToActor(self.target)
else
self.target = ToActor(MovableMan:GetMOFromID(self.target.RootID))
end

Re: help!!!! hurting something that something follows Try this: Code: if self.stick == 1 and self.LifeTimer:IsPastSimMS(100) and MovableMan:IsActor(self.target) then -- 1pt every 100ms
self.LifeTimer:Reset()
self.target.Health = self.target.Health - 1
end
If this does not work you are probably resetting self.LifeTimer somewhere else.
