 Code activation problems Decided to script some more. Here's what I've got so far: Code: function Create(self)
-- The variables:
self.AmIHere = false
end
function Update(self)
if self.AmIHere == false then
for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
if not actor.PresetName == "Red" then
local avgx = actor.Pos.X - self.Pos.X;
local avgy = actor.Pos.Y - self.Pos.Y;
local dist = math.sqrt(avgx ^ 2 + avgy ^ 2);
if dist > 5 and dist < 1000 and actor.Pos.X > self.Pos.X then
self.Pos.X = self.Pos.X - 1;
end
if dist > 5 and dist < 1000 and actor.Pos.X < self.Pos.X then
self.Pos.X = self.Pos.X + 1;
end
if dist > 5 and dist < 1000 and actor.Pos.Y > self.Pos.Y then
self.Pos.Y = self.Pos.Y - 1;
end
if dist > 5 and dist < 1000 and actor.Pos.Y < self.Pos.Y then
self.Pos.Y = self.Pos.Y + 1;
end
if dist < 5 then
actor:GibThis();
self.AmIHere = true;
end
end
end
end
if self.AmIHere == true then
for ridinghood in MovableMan.Actors do
if actor.PresetName == "Red" then
local avgx = ridinghood.Pos.X - self.Pos.X;
local avgy = ridinghood.Pos.Y - self.Pos.Y;
local dist = math.sqrt(avgx ^ 2 + avgy ^ 2);
if dist > 5 and dist < 1000 and ridinghood.Pos.X > self.Pos.X then
self.Pos.X = self.Pos.X - 1;
end
if dist > 5 and dist < 1000 and ridinghood.Pos.X < self.Pos.X then
self.Pos.X = self.Pos.X + 1;
end
if dist > 5 and dist < 1000 and ridinghood.Pos.Y > self.Pos.Y then
self.Pos.Y = self.Pos.Y - 1;
end
if dist > 5 and dist < 1000 and ridinghood.Pos.Y < self.Pos.Y then
self.Pos.Y = self.Pos.Y + 1;
end
if dist < 5 then
gimmeasaw = CreateHDFirearm("Red's Saw","NotGonnaTellYouTheModsName.rte");
ridinghood:AddInventoryItem(gimmeasaw);
self.AmIHere = false;
self:GibThis();
end
end
end
end
end It should work like this: an actor, called "red", holds the weapon. As it is considered an attachable while held, the code does nothing. When the weapon ( it's a sword ) is dropped, however, the code should start working, moving it to the nearest non-red actor, killing the said actor, going back to Red, giving it another sword and then gibbing itself. Should work. However, after rewriting the script about five times and solving a plethora of error messages, I still can't get this to work. To put it simply, it does nothing. At all. Does anyone know why? Thanks in advance.

Re: Code activation problems Add some debug print lines.

Re: Code activation problems I added them. One right before the actor.gibthis, and the other one before the self.amihere = false in the end. None of 'em printed anything.

Re: Code activation problems Try removing the Create function and replacing Code: if self.AmIHere == false then from the beginning with Code: if self.AmIHere ~= true then I'm not sure if the create function is gone through when the weapon is dropped. If that's the case, this should solve it.

Re: Code activation problems Or preferably Code: if not(self.AmIHere) then But create does activate on grnade throw.

Re: Code activation problems Tried both, and it still doesn't work. By the way, the problem is not on dropping the weapon: the code doesn't work even if I just place it in the map with a dropship.

Re: Code activation problems Code: if dist < 5 then
actor:GibThis();
self.AmIHere = true;
end If you're doing this with a drop ship, of course it isn't going to work. Your body would have to be exactly on center with the drop ship. Make the 5 a bigger number, that's a very small range.

Re: Code activation problems Yeah, I think I will change it to 15 or something like that. But that's not the main problem. What happens is that the weapon does not follow actors as it was supposed to do. It just stays motionless on the floor.

Re: Code activation problems I would subtract the two pos vectors and set the magnitude of the created vector.

Re: Code activation problems Uh, could you explain how to do that? I'm not really good in understanding lua programming...

Re: Code activation problems createdvector.Magnitude = (vector1.X - vector2.X, vector1.Y - vector2.Y);

Re: Code activation problems Ahh clarify.
I meant more like
self.vel = self.pos - actor.pos
self.vel:SetMagnitude(whatever)
