 AAL Pilot eject, come to own team, how? Today I decided to go nuts with AAL and I did some crazy tweaks to it and tested it out. It got 9000x times better. Now theres this one thing that is porbably possible to fix using Lua.
AAL has this "Escape Pod" that is gibbed when a vehicle is destroyed.
This pod is ment to drop out an actor belong to the team the vehicle was.
How can I make the gibbed pilot to set for either team that was using the vehicle to make the pilot that was using it be on the right side?
If its impossible to make the gibbed actor align to either team, I can change the mechanic somehow, the main point is, that the vehicle/craft must leave an pilot actor after its destroyed.

Re: AAL Pilot eject, come to own team, how? Run a script on the parent vehicle to set the dropship's team and spawn it on destroy according to its own team. (note this will crash the game if someone exits while the MPAM is inside a map, it's #1 on the bugfix tickets)
Then run a script on the droppod to do the exact same thing, only for the actor.
Alternately, you could run a check in the create event of the droppod and pilot for the closest object in a particular groupname, such as MPAM or MPAM Droppod.

Re: AAL Pilot eject, come to own team, how? Would something vaguely like "spawn ("escape pod" + team.tostring)" work in the destroy bit of the Lua code?

There's no point in bothering with it as Data's apparently not planning on releasing a bugfix just for Lua. The quoted method is best.

Re: AAL Pilot eject, come to own team, how? In your mech or whatever's script add this in the death function: Code: local dude = CreateAHuman("Pilot");
local pod = CreateACRocket("Escape pod");
dude.team = self.team;
pod.team = self.team;
pod:AddInventoryItem(dude);
pod.Vel = self.Vel;
pod.Pos = self.Pos;
MovableMan:AddActor(pod);

Re: AAL Pilot eject, come to own team, how? Or, while this could cause issues if two die at the same time, have it set a variable on death to the team it's on.
Just explain it off with "Sometimes the force of ejection can damage the pilot's friend or foe system", or something.
And to the guy above, that's what grif said.

Re: AAL Pilot eject, come to own team, how? What is the function to check if the actor is killed? The above code sort of worked, but not entirely. It doesnt pop anything out unless theres an if statement of somesort. I've also have some code that will instagib the actor when its health reaches 0. This is because they have regenarating wounds so if this actor dies from wounds, he might stay there forever. PS, I still dont know Lua too well, so I really need help in writing the code itself if possible. Heres the code: Code: function Create(self)
local dude = CreateAHuman("AAL Assault Pilot");
local pod = CreateACRocket("AAL Escape Pod");
end
function Destroy(self)
MovableMan:AddActor(pod);
end
function Update(self)
dude.team = self.team;
pod.team = self.team;
pod:AddInventoryItem(dude);
--pod.Vel = self.Vel;
pod.Pos = self.Pos;
if self.Health < 1 then
self:GibThis() ;
end
end

Re: AAL Pilot eject, come to own team, how? Try putting all the code I gave you in the destroy function.

Re: AAL Pilot eject, come to own team, how? Code: function Create(self)
self.dude = CreateAHuman("AAL Assault Pilot", "AAL.rte");
self.pod = CreateACRocket("AAL Escape Pod", "AAL.rte");
self.dude.Team = self.Team;
self.pod.Team = self.Team;
self.pod:AddInventoryItem(self.dude);
end
function Destroy(self)
MovableMan:AddActor(self.pod);
end
function Update(self)
--self.pod.Vel = self.Vel;
self.pod.Pos = self.Pos;
if self.Status > 3 then --if the actor is dead or dying (not sure if this one will work)
self:GibThis(); --asplode :)
end
end
should work, but might not.. if grif and daman are right. get some use caps properly nummy..

Re: AAL Pilot eject, come to own team, how? Alright! It works now, except that the escape pod is so weak it explode immidiatly and the pilot usually gets a nice warm hug from the explosion.  Case closed!
