Post subject:  Can not settle function.
Is there a function that defines weather it is possible for an MO to settle or not?
I took a look through the wiki briefly but couldn't find one.

I'm not aware of any function like that, but in my experience all objects that have not been declared "MissionCritical = 1" will settle eventually.

Is there a good and simple way to prolong the settling?

You can try both of these:
http://wiki.datarealms.com/index.php/Lu ... t#ToSettle
http://wiki.datarealms.com/index.php/Lu ... NotResting
Neither are very effective, though. Setting the object to MissionCritical is the only way to guarantee it won't settle, but then it'll never settle at all.

Well then MissionCritical is perfect.

Edit: Now I'm getting an error in my mine script, and the mine refuses to detonate.
Quote:
ERROR:UKB.rte/Devices/Ronald AP Mine.lua:19:"(eof)"expected near "end"

And here is the mine script:
Code:
function Create(self)
   self.DetonationTimer = Timer()
   self.MissionCritical = 1
end

function Destroy(self)
end

function Update(self)
   if self.DetonationTimer:IsPastSimMS(500) then
      for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
         if (actor.Pos - self.Pos).Magnitude < 60 then
            self:GibThis();
         end
      end
   end
   self.DetonationTimer:Reset();
   end
end


I've mostly tacked together a few bits of code from other mods, fiddling with it, as I am terrible at Lua.
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Right after
Code:
   self.DetonationTimer:Reset();

You have an extra 'end.'

Mmmm... That stops the error, but the mine still refuses to detonate. Also, it still settles.
Anything you can suggest?

Make it a TDExplosive?

Not only that but your reseting your timer every frame, so it would never be able to get past 500 Milliseconds.

Try this instead:

Code:
function Update(self)
   if self.DetonationTimer:IsPastSimMS(500) then
      for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
         if (actor.Pos - self.Pos).Magnitude < 60 then
            self:GibThis();
         else
            self.DetonationTimer:Reset();
         end
      end
   end
end

Indeed, a TDExplosive will never settle, you can give it a ridiculously large TriggerDelay (eg 999999999 = 16666.67 h) or reset the timer and detonate it using lua(self:GibThis() ).
Also activate it using self:Activate() to prevent its name from being displayed on top of it.

To keep something from settling, it either had to be a live actor, or pinned and with ToSettle = 0 (or MissionCritical = 1, but I never used that so I can't say for sure).

Held devices (including HDFirearms and TDExplosives) can still settle if the dropped weapons limit is reached.

MissionCritical can only be set from the INI file.

Thanks guys! The mine works like a charm!

Post subject:  Re: Can not settle function.
Sorry to resurrect the thread, but is there a way to stop the mine from detecting itself in the Actor detection code?

Edit: Nevermind, I figured out a way.
