Yeah.... i know this is kinda pointless, but i can never get a timer to work, and this doesnt work either: (the hitsmos and getshitbymos works though)




Help?


Edit: Also, i can't figure out where to put the coordinates in "attachemitter" like this:



As in what symbols to put around the ordered pair.

Thanks again!

P.S.( i have self.SomeTime = 3000 at beginning of code in create)

1. Holy ♥♥♥♥ bro did you like MISS A ♥♥♥♥ LESSON on syntax?

Jesus CHRIST.

You cannot do IF IF IF IF END END END END unless you are actually nesting all of those statements. As you're obviously not, what the ♥♥♥♥ are you doing bro?

IF THEN BLOCK END
IF THEN BLOCK END
IF THEN BLOCK END

2. Use IsPastRealMS(3000). I can guarantee it to work just fine and sometimes using variables as function arguments is wonky.

3. I don't think AttachEmitter works; seeing as it's getting into attachable code that we can't use. Set the position of the emitter relative to the actor on creation and then update it manually per frame.

Except that it is better to use a variable, since it works just as well, and better if he were to change the value. Then it wouldn't have to be changed in multiple places.

Except that referring to variables in function arguments can be wonky; see: what I said.

It's better to do it, overall, but it's hardly necessary.

K, thanks grif. So i only need one "end" under all the "ifs" ? Let me get this straight: you only have one end for each nested statement

What he means is, you have the equivalent of:

That would be senseless, as you have to meet one condition to even test the rest, and by then, the object is dead. What you want is:

I thought "else" would mean otherwise, but it means also?



Edit:This doesnt work still. Any ideas?

OKAY SO LOGIC 102 (SINCE YOU ALREADY GOT 101 BUT JUST SLEPT THROUGH THE CLASS)

IF THEN ELSE END

IF <CHECK> THEN <DO SOMETHING> ELSE <DO SOMETHING ELSE> END
If something is true, for example, then set something else to true. ELSE, aka WHEN SOMETHING IS NOT TRUE, set something else, to, say, false.

IF THEN ELSEIF ELSE END

IF <CHECK> THEN <DO SOMETHING> ELSEIF <CHECK> THEN <DO SOMETHING ELSE> ELSE <DO SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY> END
If check 1 is true then do something. If check 1 is false, then check if something else is true, and then do something. If neither are true, then do something else entirely.

Also, it's elseif.

I get that. Im saying 'is it possible to have 4 completely different "if" statements in one box taht are not related to each other?'

...

♥♥♥♥ christ

if they are not related to each other you do not want them together

if actor.Team == self.Team and actor.GetsHitByMOs == true then
actor.GetsHitByMOs = false
end
if actor.Team == self.Team and actor.HitsMOs == true then
actor.HitsMOs = false
end
if self.Timer:IsPastSimMS(self.SomeTime) then
actor:GibThis()
end
if self.Timer:IsPastSimMS(self.SomeTime) then
actor:GibThis()
end

Yeah............just kinda saw that in numgun's ionizer, and was about to do that. Woops. Well thanks for the lessons


Edit: still doesnt work



as in the actor wont gib after 3 seconds, even if it is on your team.

Anyone able to help on this?
