The subject says it all really.
Something like particle in MovableMan.Particles?

HURP DERP

Ya we figured it out, it's MovableMan.Particles.
LOL

Also, just for reference, the 'particle' or 'actor' is entirely inconsequential. It's just defining a reference; it can be whatever the hell you feel like.

One of my friends likes to do his for loops with type of baked food items. 'For Pie In SeriousArray(5) Do'

I know I'm necroing this topic a bit, but I figured it was relevant and not worth a new topic anyways.

Since you can call the object anything you want (IE "Pie"), I take it you can only ask for objects from a list?

For example,
for actor in MovableMan.Actors do

Could be written as
for pie in MovableMan.Actors do

Since MovableMan.Actors is a list of actors, correct?

My question then is, how do I get a list of an actor's emitters? I have tried
for AEmitter in actor.AEmitters do

to no avail (throws a nil reference error).

Any help appreciated.

I don't think you can do that.

However, I believe that there is a table that stores emitters, but I'm not sure if emitters on actors can be accessed with this table.

pairs(Emitters) is an automatically maintained list of all scripted emitters currently on the scene.

However, actor-attached emitters (as in, wounds) are treated as attachables, and are therefore impossible to work with.

Yea, I was going through the documentation, and it doesn't look like there is any good way to access attachables.

Thoughts on giving the actor a list of emitters?

I have plenty of Java under my belt and figuring out this Lua madness is both frustrating and exhilarating.

You can get SORT OF access to MO attachables by iterating though the MO index(set i to one, increase it, grab mo, until you hit the number of moids).
This allows you to change scale(scale = 0 makes it invisible), delete(I think), and a handful of other things.

Well, emitters have an EnableEmission method, so that's no problem. They also have IsAttachedTo, which takes an actor, so that's no problem. The question now is, how do I get to all the emitters?

I hate to ask for actual code but I'm not sure what you mean but iterating through the MO index. I know how to iterate of course, but what am I looking for? Something like this?:



As I said in my first paragraph, if I can get to a list of emitters then it's no problem.



That is, assuming IsEmitting and EnableEmission return and take indices instead of booleans. It didn't say in the documentation -- anybody know?

Thanks.
