 Getting the zombie generator to work Lua-free I managed to get the generator to continously emit by using a small Lua script: Code: generator = CreateAEmitter("Zombie Generator")
generator.Pos = Vector(500, 100)
generator:EnableEmission(true)
MovableMan:AddParticle(generator) I know this isn't any great achievement, and I assume it's been done before, but I was wondering if there was any way to mod the ini itself to make the generator usable. Using 'dofile "generatortest.lua"' is okay, but it's impractical as I'd like to be able to place the generator wherever I want without having to use generator.Pos.

Re: Getting the zombie generator to work Lua-free Do you want them pre-placed in the scene?
That is where the scene.ini and such files come in. Lua was introduced to Cortex Command relatively late in it's development, and most of the actual code is not in .lua files. Look at how the scene files are set up in Base.rte or Missions.rte.

Yes but where actually it is needed to place? Into scene ini.?

Re: Getting the zombie generator to work Lua-free No, I figured out how to preplace them in scenes without Lua. The thing is I'd like to be able place the generator in the scene in the beginning and then have it already activated, so I could place it wherever and use it. If there's a way to do this by modding the ini, that would be best, but if there was even just a Lua command that I could use to activate an already-placed generator, that would work too.
Sorry if that was hard to understand.

Re: Getting the zombie generator to work Lua-free There should be a line in the AEmitter code: Set that to 1, or add it if it isn't already there.

Re: Getting the zombie generator to work Lua-free @deathbal: Open up Missions.rte/Items.ini. The zombie generator code starts at line 275. Go down until you see an empty space (the end of the zombie generator code). Put on the end of the code. Alternately, put this on the end to make it a separate entity (so as to not screw up the mission, etc.): Code: AddActor = AEmitter
CopyOf = Zombie Generator
PresetName = Working Zombie Generator
Description = A clone production system turned into a zombie making machine.
EmissionEnabled = 1 *The description is optional
