Post subject:  Help, indexing existing AEmitters
I have a problem I have made this simple search and indexing code, but it won't find any of my existing "Teleporter Texture B"s. The "Teleporter Texture B"s are placed in the scene it self. I have tried to run the script in the first updated frame instead of StartActivity(), but the same results.
Code:
  --teleporter

   self.Teleporter = {};

  local teleporternumber = 1
 
  for actor in MovableMan.Particles do
    if string.find(actor.PresetName, "Teleporter Texture B") == true then
      self.Teleporter[teleporternumber] = actor
      teleporternumber = teleporternumber + 1
    end
  end


It works when i am defining the teleporters in the script itself instead of inside the scene, so it shouldn't be anything else than this part.

First off you can save using a local by using:

Code:
  --teleporter

   self.Teleporter = {};
 
  for actor in MovableMan.Particles do
    if string.find(actor.PresetName, "Teleporter Texture B") == true then
      self.Teleporter[#self.teleporter + 1] = actor
    end
  end


but that won't solve your problem which is, I think you have set hitsmos and getshitbymos to 0 therefore just like feet and hands it can not be found or altered by lua.

Hitmos and gethitbymos is set to 1, so well I am out of ideas :/

Ohh oh I know

Code:
  --teleporter

   self.Teleporter = {};
 
  for actor in MovableMan.Particles do
    if actor.PresetName == "Teleporter Texture B" then
      self.Teleporter[#self.teleporter + 1] = actor
    end
  end


Will work but string.find returns a number not a boolean.

did you set getshitbymos to 1?

it should work, it is an AEmitter right?

I tested it in zombie mission finding the zombie generators, they are placed via lua are you using soplace, it should work with both.
