 Lua Spawn Problems Ok, so having a problem. Im trying to make it so a new zombie actor is spawned once an actor on one team dies, and this is what i have why could this not be working? Code: if actor.Team == self.Team and actor:IsDead() == true then
local position = actor.Pos;
local team = actor.Team;
local AImode = actor.AIMode;
actor.Lifetime = 2;
rebornActor = CreateAHuman(self.AList[math.random(#self.AList)],"Undead.rte");
rebornActor.Pos = position;
rebornActor.Team = team;
rebornActor.AIMode = AImode;
rebornActor.Health = 100;
MovableMan:AddActor(rebornActor);
end
thanks to anyone who helps

Re: Lua Spawn Problems You shouldn't have to define the Health, and AIMode is not a valid AIMode  Set the AIMode to Actor.AIMODE_SENTRY, Actor.AIMODE_PATROL or Actor.AIMODE_BRAINHUNT.

Re: Lua Spawn Problems What's running the code? It also might be helpful to know the contents of self.AList, and more of the code's context. And how exactly it broke(crash, not working, ect). Anyway, use this(has debugging print statements) and post the console output. Code: if actor.Team == self.Team and actor:IsDead() == true then
local position = actor.Pos;
print("Reviving...")
local team = actor.Team;
local AImode = actor.AIMode_SENTRY;
actor.Lifetime = 2;
print(position)
rebornActor = CreateAHuman(self.AList[math.random(#self.AList)],"Undead.rte");
rebornActor.Pos = position;
rebornActor.Team = team;
rebornActor.AIMode = AImode;
MovableMan:AddActor(rebornActor);
end

Re: Lua Spawn Problems Console output is simply what the engine prints to the console. That is, when you run the lua code (by killing the actor or whatever) and then open the console, it will have printed something to it. Or, if you can do it, have the thing happen while the console is open.

Re: Lua Spawn Problems If the AIMode was the problem, the unit would come out broked.
But it seems that the unit refuses to spawn at all.

Re: Lua Spawn Problems The reason is that because AIMode is not a valid setting, the function errors out before the actor can be added to the scene.

Re: Lua Spawn Problems Ok, zombie problem is fixed, but when they appear, two appear, and i cant find out how to only make one appear. TheLastBanana said to make a variable "x" and make it false, then when the actor dies, check if it is false, and if it is false, spawn the zombie and set it to be true so that another zombie doesnt spawn. (correct me if im wrong TLB ) How would i do this with this code? Code: if healTimer:IsPastSimMS(healInterval) then
for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
if actor.Team == self.Team and actor.Health < 1 and actor.ID ~= self.ID then
local position = actor.Pos;
local team = actor.Team;
local AImode = actor.AIMode
actor.Lifetime = 2;
rebornActor = CreateAHuman(self.AList[math.random(#self.AList)]);
rebornActor.Pos = position;
rebornActor.Team = team;
rebornActor.AIMode = AImode;
MovableMan:AddActor(rebornActor);
end
end
end Thanks

Re: Lua Spawn Problems need help with my code (it´s nearly the same like above so this thread) Code: if self.Health > 400 then
self.health = 0
local position = self.Pos;
local team = self.Team;
local AImode = self.AIMode;
reborndrone = CreateAHuman("AMedic Drone");
reborndrone.Pos = position;
reborndrone.Team = team;
reborndrone.AIMode = AImode;
MovableMan:AddActor(reborndrone);
end
the problem is that nothing happens if the drone has more than 400 life (don´t say: uhh, max 100 health pls) need help

Try this. May work, may not.
