 Help with LUA This is probably just a noob problem as I am very inexperienced with lua, what I'm trying to do is make an actor that gibs when it gets a certain distance to an enemy actor. Code: function Update(self)
for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
local distcheck = SceneMan:shortestDistance(self.Pos,actor.Pos,true).Magnitude
if distcheck < 20 then
self.ignoreteam = actor.Team
self:GibThis()
break
end
end
end
I'm just getting silent crashes when CC loads my .rte, can anyone help with this?

Re: Help with LUA Lua does not cause silent crashes on startup as a general rule, but I can correct some errors for you. Code: function Update(self)
for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
local distcheck = SceneMan:shortestDistance(self.Pos,actor.Pos,true);
if distcheck <= 20 then
self.ignoreteam = actor.Team;
self:GibThis()
break
end
end
end

self.timer:Reset();

local distcheck = SceneMan:ShortestDistance(self.Pos,actor.Pos,true);
if distcheck.Magnitude <= 20 and self.Team ~= actor.Team then
self:GibThis();
break;
end
end
else
self.timer = Timer();
end
end FTFY the timer code will make the game not lag so horrendously; looping through all actors every frame is terribly inefficient.

Re: Help with LUA To fix the silent startup crashes, you'll probably want to try
grafting the Lua script onto a default actor and seeing if that works.
If it does, then your problem is in your actor's .ini code.
If it doesn't, check to make sure your "ScriptFile" leads to the proper location.

Re: Help with LUA Wasn't it ScriptPath?

Re: Help with LUA It was the code causing the crashes, the script path was fine, problem now is: it loads fine, doesnt work and the console says error 'end' expected at line 16 'eof' even though there is an end at the eof...

Re: Help with LUA That means that you have to add another end.
If that doesn't work, remove the end.

Re: Help with LUA That's wierd.
It's not showing any errors at all?
Could you post the code to check it, please.
