 Changing attachable frames via .Lua I've spent some time recently making a small script to change an actor's head's frame when he is hit, to add some depth to his reactions. Well, I'm using the attachable hack to define a pointer to the actor's head, and when the appropriate conditions are met, change it's frame and print a small confirmation message.
When the actor is hit, everything triggers correctly, and the message comes out, but nothing happens with his head. This has got me thinking: is it even possible to access an attachable's frame via .Lua? If yes, then I'll go recheck my script. Otherwise, I'll just drop this until B24.
Any ideas?

Re: Changing attachable frames via .Lua Yep, you can definitely change a head frame with Lua.

Re: Changing attachable frames via .Lua Hmm. I wonder what's wrong, then? Here's the script, just in case you spot something I'm missing: (And the ValidMO check is disabled because I never got it to recognize the head as a proper MO.) Code: function Create(self)
self.Head = nil;
self.PrevHealth = 100;
self.IsHeadGood = 0;
self.IsHeadBad = 0;
self.timer = Timer();
self.healthtimer = Timer();
self.headtimer = Timer();
for i = 1,MovableMan:GetMOIDCount()-1 do
self.finder = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i);
if self.finder.PresetName == "Skeleton Changer Head" and self.finder.RootID == self.ID then
self.Head = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(self.finder.ID);
print(("Found head: ") .. (self.Head.PresetName));
end
end
end
function Update(self)
if self.timer:IsPastSimMS(50) then
--if MovableMan:ValidMO(self.Head) then
if self.Health < self.PrevHealth then
self.PrevHealth = self.Health;
self.IsHeadBad = 1;
self.headtimer:Reset();
end
if self.IsHeadBad == 1 then
if not self.headtimer:IsPastSimMS(3000) then
print("Head is bad for now!");
self.Head.Frame = 2;
else
self.Head.Frame = 1;
self.IsHeadBad = 0;
end
end
--end
if self.healthtimer:IsPastSimMS(500) then
self.PrevHealth = self.Health;
self.healthtimer:Reset();
end
self.timer:Reset();
end
--print(self.PrevHealth);
end

Re: Changing attachable frames via .Lua Maybe try doing ToAttachable on self.Head?

Re: Changing attachable frames via .Lua Yeah, you need to do ToMOSRotating, in the least. MovableObject doesn't have a Frame variable, so the lowest class you could use is MOSprite. I don't think you can cast to that, though.
