 About attachables Is it possible to check if an actor has an attachable attached to it?

Re: About attachables I think that what I want to do is a bit more complex (I think).
I made some particles that damage actors with lua, and I made an actor that is resistant to that particles.
I made a helmet to it, that it's like a gas mask, so someone gave me the idea to make the particles damage the actor if it's helmet was blown off.
Aside from being laggy (it will probably be, considering it's quite laggy right now), is something like this possible?

Re: About attachables yes, you can imagine that your particle already has a pointer to the actor, which you want to check for wearing helmet self.actor is a pointer "helmet" - is a word to search for, while cycling through actor attachables you can search for exact preset as snown in commented line it will make the particle to ignore collisions with "self.actor" if it has any att's with "helmet" in presetname Code: for i = 1, MovableMan:GetMOIDCount() - 1 do
if MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i).RootID == self.actor.ID and i ~= self.actor.ID then
local att = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i)
if string.find(string.lower(att.PresetName), "helmet") then
-- if att.PresetName == "helmet"
self:SetWhichMOToNotHit(self.actor, -1)
end
end
end

Re: About attachables Excuse me, but I plainly didn't get the code.
I mean, I read it and I can't get much of it.
And a question, would it lag much?

Re: About attachables Code: function Update(self)
local actor
for actor in MovableMan.Actors do -- cycle through all actors
if (actor.Pos-self.Pos).Magnitude < 100 then -- look for the closest one
for i = 1, MovableMan:GetMOIDCount() - 1 do -- cycle through all moids
if MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i).RootID == actor.ID and i ~= actor.ID then -- find only selected actor's children
local att = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i) -- get the attachable from it's id
if string.find(string.lower(att.PresetName), "helmet") then -- find the word "helmet" in attachable's presetname
-- if att.PresetName == "helmet" -- or search for exact preset
self:SetWhichMOToNotHit(actor, -1) -- apply some code here (currently it forces itself to ignore any collisions with actor)
end
end
end
end
end
end
^ this is gas particle script i don't think it would be laggy you understand me now?

local att = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i)
if att.PresetName ~= "Gas Mask" then
actor.Health = actor.Health - 1
end
end
end
end
end
end
Got it. Did some slight modifications, would it work?

Re: About attachables yeah, i think it's right code
still, you'd better test it and post the results (cause i don't want to do it >:3)

Re: About attachables Somehow I get a feeling that script's gonna go and deduct 1 HP for every non-gas mask attachable attached to the actor.
What if you check if the actor has a gas mask or not, then applying damage to the actors not wearing gas mask?
So it'll go like this:
-check if there's an actor within 100 pix
-check if actor do not have any attachables with 'gas mask' in its name
-if actor does not have gas mask then do damage
test your code first. I think it will do wonky stuff.

for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
if (actor.Pos-self.Pos).Magnitude < 100 then
local check = false
for i = 1, MovableMan:GetMOIDCount() - 1 do
if MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i).RootID == actor.ID and i ~= actor.ID then
local att = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i)
if att.PresetName == "Gas Mask" then
check = true
end
end
end
if not check then
actor:AddHealth(-1)
end
end
end
end
^ that should work good carriontrooper, thanks
