Post subject:  Lua AddInventoryItem Error *FIXED*
I'm quite new to Lua, and I'm making a gun that teleports what it hits.
The main problem right now is that I set the round to add a MOPixel to the actor it hits, but when the Round hits, it spits out this error
Image

This is the script
Code:
function Create(self)
   for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
      actor:AddInventoryItem("Teleporter Particle")
   end
end


I also tried this
Code:
function Create(self)
   self.TeleParticle = Teleporter Particle
   for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
      actor:AddInventoryItem(self.TeleParticle)
   end
end


Any ideas?

Get a proper imagehost.

Your picture is too small for us to see the error.
The actual script would also be really helpful, but I'd guess you've got the wrong kind of arguments for AddInventory.

Ok, fixed the image and added the script. Sorry about that

Doesn't look like you can add MOPixels to an actors inventory via AddInventory.
Not sure how you'd go about solving that, to be honest.

Really? But I think Shook managed to do it with his Gazooka/Bloating bomb. Is there any alternative?

Is that a goddamn global variable? A string without quotation marks? Or what is it?
What are you smoking man?

Quote:
AddInventoryItem

Adds an inventory item to this Actor.

Arguments:

* An pointer to the new item to add. Ownership IS TRANSFERRED!


Pointer. You should atleast create said particle first, with CreateMOPixel("name")

Well, if it actually works by a presetname as well, whatever, try the function ToMovableObject(pointer)

Adittionally, the loop you are using right now will add it to every single actor that exists.
You might need to create a new particle seperately each time the for loop runs.

Could you possibly post some sample code to show what you mean?

I find it hard to believe that the code you posted results in the error you captured.

"Teleporter Particle" is a string, line of characters. Not a particle, mopixel, squid, or anything else but a string.

if you do
Code:
local part
part = CreateMOPixel("Teleporter Particle")

then part would be a pointer to MOPixel.

if actor:AddInventoryItem(part) fails, try actor:AddInventoryItem(ToMovableObject(part))

If adding a particle to every single actors inventory is what you want to do, then you'd need to:
Code:
function Create(self)
   local part
   for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
      part = CreateMOPixel("Teleporter Particle")
      actor:AddInventoryItem(part)
   end
end


Why you'd want to do this, is beynond me, since no Lua updates are run outside MovableMan's direct ownership. (Ie. in an inventory)

Get your s... stuff straight, man.

Post subject:  Re: Lua AddInventoryItem Error
Okay, I understand now. I do not want to do this for every actor on the scene, I'm just trying to take this one step at a time. What would I do in order to add the MOP to only the actor the bullet hits?

EDIT: Nevermind, I fixed it on my own. Thanks for the local part bit though
