 Need help with changing sprites when hit. I'm working on a Big Daddy mod from Bioshock, and I want to know how I can change his eye color (Basically changing sprites) when he gets hit by gunfire. As Bioshock fans know, Big Daddies' eyes change from yellow to red when he gets angry. If you can, how about changing his eye colors back to yellow after a while of non-gunfire?
Please help, thanks.

Re: Need help with changing sprites when hit. Lua should do the trick. Code: function Create(self)
self.ETimer = Timer()
self.RHealth = self.Health
end
function Update(self)
if self.ETimer.PastSimMS(<timehere>) then
self.Frame = 0
else
self.Frame = 1
end
if self.RHealth != self.Health then
if self.RHealth > self.Health then
self.ETimer:Reset()
end
self.RHealth = self.Health
end
end
You need two frames of animation, the first for when it's eyes are yellow, the second when they are red.

Re: Need help with changing sprites when hit.  Yay! Thanks alot! That really helped me. Now I just gotta make a Lua file. All I need in the file is the script you posted right?

Re: Need help with changing sprites when hit. Download Notepad++ for one. Second, when saving it, save it as "whateveryournameis.lua" Then, for whatever you want to attach the script to, put this in the code for it Code: ScriptPath = Whateveryourrteis.rte/YourLuaFile.lua

Bioshock mod help. Well, sorry but can I change this topic to overall Bioshock mod I'm working on? Anyways, one more question. I tried searching and found nothing so How do we attach a weapon via ini? I have: Code: AddInventory = HDFirearm
CopyOf = Rivet Gun But all I get is an error saying "Referring to an Instance ('Rivet Gun') that hasn't been defined!" Please help!

Re: Need help with changing sprites when hit. First of all, where is this in the mod? The actor?
Second, looks like your tabbing is all messed up. Should only be one tab there.
Third-ly? uh That prolly means you have that copyof either before the rivet gun is defined or there is no rivet gun at all. Make sure that code comes after] the rivet gun is defined.

Re: Need help with changing sprites when hit. Check the preset names and confirm that they are identical.

Re: Need help with changing sprites when hit. Also Mail's script will not work right because Lua has ~=, not !=.

Make sure that code comes after the rivet gun is defined. - This is in the actor -Sorry, typo there. Theres just 1 tab in the ini -It's the last line of the actor's code. Where do we define it? They are identical, the preset name in Rivet Gun.ini and this codein the Rosie.ini I'm such a n00b. Sorry.

Re: Need help with changing sprites when hit. In the index.ini you should have the rivetgun above the big daddy.

end

end
if self.RHealth ~= self.Health then
if self.RHealth > self.Health then
self.ETimer:Reset()
end
self.RHealth = self.Health
end
end Now open Notepad++ and save that file as "Actor.lua" in your rte Go to the actor's code and go down to where he is defined. Put a line in that says this "ScriptPath = [filepath to the lua file]/Actor.Lua" Hope this helps

Re: Need help with changing sprites when hit. You should probably make the Rivet Gun unbuyable. Copy this into gun code:
