So how would I make it so something happens if a
certain ship isn't currently in the scene, but it is
"CreateACRocket"ed so it is defined.

And how do I detect if there are no actors on a team except for the brain in an "if" statement.

MovableMan:IsActor(actor) will return true if the actor has a physical model in the scene.

So,



Loop through the actors in the scene - if any are on the right team and are not a brain, you have your answer.

Something like

OK, so I was playing the Force Unleashed Demo, and I was thinking, what if with Lua, we could use force powers??? Do you guys think it would be very hard once we get B22 with mods with Lua? Because that would be a really neat mod...

Yes, cause the adaptation of Lua will make it possible to do things NEVER DONE BEFORE WITH CC.

[sigh]

Yeah, that should be doable. The only thing holding us back now is the inability to have a trigger for it. Something like a force push would be pretty easy to script.

Thanks, That worked!

Here are some other questions I have, Mr.Tay.

1. What would the script be if I wanted any AHuman
that I've spawned to follow a path with defined way
points with Lua.

2. A DelayTimer so the If Statement doesn't run infinitely
fast until the If is false or if I need a delay between two
actions that are triggered by the same thing.

3. If you know, How does the code work? Does it only apply after there are no actors left to switch to? Could I use it for Cutscenes so it zooms to different parts of the level with the timer I mentioned earlier?

Is it possible to make a box which reduces the velocity of all craft and robots to zero and keeps it there, but does not effect clones or crabs?
Interference zone, ♥♥♥♥ yeah.

Actually, in this case, it would.
Take a look at this post on the dev log: http://www.datarealms.com/devlog/cortex ... a-console/
It shows off the ability to change an object's velocity. So force throws and such = probably yes.
Holding people up might not.

Holding people up is as simple as using a gravity gun from the Pheonix (sic) pack.
It may also gib the actor, but it works. Kinda.

If we managed to get the direction the actor was aiming, we might be able to calculate how far away we should hold up an object and in what position. Then, after we have changing positions as we walk and look around, we can have it move the enemy actor's position to that position: updating frequently to give the impression he's being held up.

So, I was wondering, would it be possible to make a scene where if you pressed a certain button, time would reverse? I think it would be amazingly awesome, but I understand that it may be impossible.

Another cool thing might be toggle-able gravity.

(I didn't put this in simple lua requests because I'm pretty sure they aren't simple.)

Simple requests are mostly "Simple" because of the lack of input the original poster puts in the project. So yes, this would be a simple request.

Fair enough.

I tried doing Fat Sand Rat's Idea about Craft Velocity interference, and I thought it'd look like this


But it expects a "then" near the ":". Could a more experienced Lua-er
tell me what I did wrong, and if you could answer my other questions
that I posted earlier in the thread so I can start making serious maps,
that'd be just dandy.

for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
if actor.ClassName == ACRocket then
actor.Vel = 0
end

if actor.ClassName == ACDropship then
actor.Vel = 0
end
end

Should work. Improperly tabbed, though.
