 Attachables that Heal the Wearer Hi guys, Just got round to installing the latest version of the game and I have started working on bits and bobs again. I have made a backpack type device that I have attached to an actor as an attachable. I wanted this to heal the wearer. I know how to make lua regen a actors health when the script is added to the actor but I want to put the script on the attachable so that if the attachable breaks the effect stops. I'll stop rambling now and get to the point... basically I've never been too great with lua and would like to know how I would get the backpack to target the person wearing it. Also if the backpack broke the effect would stop right? I wouldn't need to stop the script or anything? This would basically give my actor a cool medi-backpack that would prevent him from bleeding out while it is functioning and on his back. I thought this would be pretty cool.  If anyone could help me with this I'd be most grateful.  Thanks in advance, CBM02

Re: Attachables that Heal the Wearer Quote: how I would get the backpack to target the person wearing it If that's the only person you want affected, then just give it a very short range. Quote: Also if the backpack broke the effect would stop right? If the Lua script is referenced by the backpack, not by the root of the AHuman (i.e., the big long part of the INI) it would stop if the backpack was destroyed. That's definitely the way to go about this, I think

Re: Attachables that Heal the Wearer Code: function Create(self)
if self.RootID ~= self.ID then
self.wearer = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(self.RootID);
end
end
function Update(self)
if self.wearer then
--Here, put your healing code, but replace the "self" of the actor with "self.wearer"
end
end Attach this code to the backpack attachable.

Re: Attachables that Heal the Wearer Ah, much better, yeah; no MOID brute-force search. I'm a little slow today

Re: Attachables that Heal the Wearer Oh cool. I think I've screwed my healing code up now though because I got confused with the self.wearer bit. >_<
Doesn't matter how many times I read up on this stuff I don't think I'll ever be that great at lua, always get so confused and that just frustrates me because I'd love to be able to just do this stuff. :/

Re: Attachables that Heal the Wearer If you can, go right back to the original code and start again. Post it here if it continues to mess up.

Re: Attachables that Heal the Wearer Nope, still not working... just wanted something simple like the code in the other healing thread. Quote: Code: function onUpdate(self)
if self.Health < 100 then
self.Health = self.Health + 1;
end
end Is there something i'm missing in the .ini other than the normal scriptpath? Something I wouldn't have known about? Used to do all my healing through .ini haha. Feeling a bit lost with lua. :/

self.wearer = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(self.RootID);

function Update(self)

self.wearer.Health = self.wearer.Health + 1;
end
end
end There's your full script.

Re: Attachables that Heal the Wearer You can have self.wearer.Health? I thought that might have been where I was going wrong. >_<

Re: Attachables that Heal the Wearer Nope, still not healing... but I'm not getting any lua errors in the console, but I wasn't when I was trying to get my lua to work either so I'm not sure how helpful that is. >_< Weird... Code: //Backpack
AddEffect = Attachable
PresetName = AntiBleedBackPack
Mass = 5
Sharpness = 1
HitsMOs = 0
GetsHitByMOs = 1
ScriptPath = Elite.rte/Actors/Elite Commander/healbp.lua
SpriteFile = ContentFile
FilePath = Elite.rte/Actors/Elite Commander/Backpack.bmp
FrameCount = 4
SpriteAnimMode = 1
SpriteAnimDuration = 800
SpriteOffset = Vector
X = -4
Y = -7
AngularVel = 6
EntryWound = AEmitter
CopyOf = Dent Metal Light
ExitWound = AEmitter
CopyOf = Dent Metal Light
AtomGroup = AtomGroup
AutoGenerate = 1
Material = Material
CopyOf = Military Stuff
Resolution = 4
Depth = 0
DeepCheck = 0
JointStrength = 450
JointStiffness = 0.5
BreakWound = AEmitter
CopyOf = Wound Bone Break
JointOffset = Vector
X = 0
Y = 0
DrawAfterParent = 1
GibImpulseLimit = 1500
GibWoundLimit = 8
[gibstuffhere]
Thats okay right? o.O

Re: Attachables that Heal the Wearer Might need a ToActor, hang on: Code: function Create(self)
if self.RootID ~= self.ID then
self.wearer = ToActor(MovableMan:GetMOFromID(self.RootID));
end
end
function Update(self)
if self.wearer then
if self.wearer.Health < 100 then
self.wearer.Health = self.wearer.Health + 1;
end
end
end

Re: Attachables that Heal the Wearer Replace this with your current create function and post what shows in the console. Code: function Create(self)
if self.RootID ~= self.ID then
self.wearer = ToActor(MovableMan:GetMOFromID(self.RootID));
end
print(MovableMan:GetMOFromID(self.RootID).PresetName)
print(MovableMan:GetMOFromID(self.ID).PresetName)
end
