Post subject:  Problem with Proximity mine
Hi guys.

Im trying to create a script to make a proximity bomb, able to explode when an enemy aproaches.

The script seems to load fine, but it doesn´t work like i want, because the mine explodes right after i throw it away.

Here is the script.

Code:
function Update(self)
   for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
      if actor.Team ~= self.Team then
      local avgx = actor.Pos.X - self.Pos.X;
      local avgy = actor.Pos.Y - self.Pos.Y;
      local dist = math.sqrt(avgx ^ 2 + avgy ^ 2);
         if dist < 100 then
            self:GibThis();
         end
      end
   end
end

That's because it's detecting the thrower. It's working perfectly.

You should create a timer in the Create() function, and check if it's after a certain time before doing your proximity check.

Ok i made a timer but im getting an error in the console:

Here is the new script:

Code:
function Create(self)
    self.LTimer = Timer();
end

function Update(self)
   if Timer:IsPastSimMS(3000) == true then
   for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
      if actor.Team ~= self.Team then
      local avgx = actor.Pos.X - self.Pos.X;
      local avgy = actor.Pos.Y - self.Pos.Y;
      local dist = math.sqrt(avgx ^ 2 + avgy ^ 2);
      if dist < 100 then
         self:GibThis();
      end
      end
   end
end


Thanks for your help.

Add one more "end".
And it must be
Code:
   if self.LTimer:IsPastSimMS(3000) == true then

instead of
Code:
   if Timer:IsPastSimMS(3000) == true then

It works!

Thanks Alex!

Here is the code with somebody wants it:

Code:
function Create(self)
    self.LTimer = Timer();
end

function Update(self)
   if self.LTimer:IsPastSimMS(3000) == true then
   for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
      if actor.Team ~= self.Team then
      local avgx = actor.Pos.X - self.Pos.X;
      local avgy = actor.Pos.Y - self.Pos.Y;
      local dist = math.sqrt(avgx ^ 2 + avgy ^ 2);
           if dist < 50 then
         self:GibThis();
      end
      end
   end
end
end

Code:
if actor.Team ~= self.Team then

You can take this if statement out. If I remember correctly from the old IRC MOTD, thrown items such as grenades and stuff don't have a defined team.

If you want to use this line of code, you'll have to define the team yourself by adding some code to the Create function that searches for the nearest actor, since the nearest one is most likely the one who initially threw the bomb. Define that actor as the owner, and then use his team number for comparison instead of the bomb's.

Hope this helps your optimize the code a little.

Thanks for the idea.

I just started with lua, it seems a little complicated, but i will try.
