  Dual Mode Actors?Hello, CC Forum.
I was wondering if it would be possible to have an actor that would be able to switch from a translucent intangible form to a normal solid form, like the Ghost Twins form the matrix. I was thinking that the best way to do this would involve a modified Dual Weapon Mode Switcher (Like CaveCricket's). I already have both actors, the one that hits MOs, and the one that is translucent, all I need is the lua script. P.S. I'm just beginning to comprehend lua, so please give me the whole script as opposed to a tiny chunk of coding. Thanks! |

Re: Dual Mode Actors? Lua Tutorial
Lua Documentation Start with those to improve your Lua. As for your script, you need to check a key, then create a new actor with the old actor's position and velocity, then remove the old actor. Something like this: Code: function Update(self) if self:IsPlayerControlled() and UInputMan:KeyPressed(key) then local new = CreateAHuman("youractor"); new.Pos.x = self.Pos.x; new.Pos.y = self.Pos.y; new.Vel = self.Vel; self.ToDelete = true; end end That is utterly untested and most likely will not work. Consider it a base to work from. Also, a list of keystrokes with their corresponding numbers. by Darlos. Edit: Forgot to actually add the actor to the scene and set the team. I was also setting the position incorrectly. Code: function Update(self) if self:IsPlayerControlled() and UInputMan:KeyPressed(key) then local new = CreateAHuman("youractor"); new.Pos = self.Pos; new.Vel = self.Vel; new.Team = self.Team; MovableMan:AddActor(new); self.ToDelete = true; end end Last edited by Petethegoat on Tue Jun 01, 2010 5:04 pm, edited 2 times in total. |
