target.wishes = target.wishes + 1

end
...
end
But seriously, take some tutorials. And go fiddle with other people's code. Fix for the killzone, I just had the items go so fast that they should gib/disappear.: Code: function Create(self)
x = self;
end
function Destroy(self)
end
function Update(self)
--First checks whether an actor or an item is within the box and then gibs them.
for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
if (actor.Pos.X >= self.Pos.X - 24) and (actor.Pos.X <= self.Pos.X + 24) and (actor.Pos.Y >= self.Pos.Y - 25) and (actor.Pos.Y <= self.Pos.Y + 25) then
actor:GibThis() ;
end
end
for item in MovableMan.Items do
if (item.Pos.X >= self.Pos.X - 24) and (item.Pos.X <= self.Pos.X + 24) and (item.Pos.Y >= self.Pos.Y - 25) and (item.Pos.Y <= self.Pos.Y + 25) then
item.Velocity = Vector(1000,1000)
end
end
end
And for the regen pod, just explain that it reclones the actor or something. Code: function Create(self)
x = self;
regenchargetimer = Timer()
regencharge = 15000 --10 sec recharge per healing
end
function Destroy(self)
end
function Update(self)
--First checks whether an actor or an item is within the box and then replaces them. Will remove inventory. Also decriments kill count to offset loss.
for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
if (regenchargetimer:IsPastSimMS(regencharge)) and (actor.Pos.X >= self.Pos.X - 24) and (actor.Pos.X <= self.Pos.X + 24) and (actor.Pos.Y >= self.Pos.Y - 25) and (actor.Pos.Y <= self.Pos.Y + 25) and (actor.Health < 100) then
local spawnpos = actor.Pos;
local spawnteam = actor.Team;
local spawnAI = actor.AIMode
local spawnname = actor.PresetName;
local spawntype = actor.ClassName;
actor:GibThis();
if spawntype == "AHuman"
then
guy = CreateAHuman(spawnname);
end
if spawntype == "ACrab"
then
guy = CreateACrab(spawnname);
end
if spawntype == "Actor"
then
guy = CreateActor(spawnname);
end
if spawntype == "ACDropShip"
then
guy = CreateACDropShip(spawnname);
end
if spawntype == "ACRocket"
then
guy = CreateACRocket(spawnname);
end
guy.Pos = spawnpos
guy.Team = spawnteam
guy.AIMode = spawnAI
ActivityMan:GetActivity():ReportDeath(spawnteam,-1);
regenchargetimer:Reset()
end
end
end

No worriers for the killzone, I asked TLB about while I was chatting with him and he suggested the following: Worked. Quote: And for the regen pod, just explain that it reclones the actor or something.
Hmm sounds great. But instead of changing the code, I'll make this a whole new module and warn the user so he'd drop his items before entering this thing. (I'll make it blow up the items so players reconsider using it while their being chased.) I'll name it respawn module or reconstructor module. It would serve as a much more powerful version of the regen with its own little traits. As for the teleporter, especially after some testing, the random teleportation is just too messy. And not only that, it still keeps hugging the same teleport you entered. (Do note, mail2345, I have NOT yet tested the code on the previous page you posted. and I cant right now, will test later when I get home.) So what we need now is to make the teleporter teleport the actor to the next teleporter in the list in a continous order. With this, telefragging will be good again so I'll keep that. Btw, how would a zero gravity module work? It simply would make stuff inside the area of the object behave like its in 0 gravity. I've heard that actor.GlobalAccScalar = 0 doesnt work so whats the other method?

Re: Lua based map objects, help! (BW related) I'd imagine teleporter pairs would be the best solution. The classical each teleporter teleports you to its pair sort. You could do maybe four different coloured teleporters each having their own luascript. Code: function Create(self)
if (_teleporters == nil) then
_teleporters = {self}
else
table.insert(_teleporters,self)
end
self.teledelaytimer = Timer();
self.teleactivate = nil;
self.thistele = #_teleporters;
end
function Destroy(self)
table.remove(_teleporters,self)
end
function Update(self)
if(#_teleporters > 1) then
for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
if (actor.Pos.X >= self.Pos.X - 24) and (actor.Pos.X <= self.Pos.X + 24) and (actor.Pos.Y >= self.Pos.Y - 25) and (actor.Pos.Y <= self.Pos.Y + 25) and (actor.PinStrength <= 0) then
if not self.teleactivated then
local teleactivate = CreateAEmitter("Teleport Activation");
teleactivate.Lifetime = 2000;
teleactivate.Pos = self.Pos;
teleactivate:EnableEmission(true);
MovableMan:AddParticle(teleactivate);
self.teledelaytimer:Reset();
self.teleactivated = 1
else
if self.teledelaytimer:IsPastSimMS(2000) then
--TELEPORTATION HAPPENS HERE
if self.thistele == 1 then
i = 2
else
i = 1
end
for oactor in MovableMan.Actors
if (oactor.Pos.X >= _teleporters[i].Pos.X - 24) and (oactor.Pos.X <= _teleporters[i].Pos.X + 24) and (oactor.Pos.Y >= _teleporters[i].Pos.Y - 25) and (oactor.Pos.Y <= _teleporters[i].Pos.Y + 25)
then
oactor:GibThis();
end
end
actor.Pos = _teleporters[i].Pos
self.teledelaytimer:Reset();
self.teleactivated = 0
end
end
end
end
end
end
Then just change _teleport to _teleport1 and so on for each different type of teleporter. Edit: when the actor is in the antigrav module, you could do Code: actor.Vel.Y = actor.Vel.Y - SceneMan.Scene.GlobalAcceleration.Y That should counter the scenes gravity. Edit2: Attempt at fixing the disappearing emitter.

You mean the code cant be done so it would simply move the actor to the next teleport on the table? If this is the case, does this mean I'll have to put 2 teleporters if I want to travel to different locations? And if all above is true, then stop coding the teleporter for now. TLB made a teleport of his own yesterday and it does just that. teleports an actor from teleporter A to teleporter B and viceversa. But this also means I'll have to revise the map layout. Crap. : /

Re: Lua based map objects, help! (BW related) No, it can be done pretty easily. And here it is: Code: function Create(self)
if (_teleporters == nil) then
_teleporters = {self}
else
table.insert(_teleporters,self)
end
self.teledelaytimer = Timer();
self.teleactivate = nil;
self.thistele = #_teleporters;
end
function Destroy(self)
table.remove(_teleporters,self)
end
function Update(self)
if(#_teleporters > 1) then
for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
if (actor.Pos.X >= self.Pos.X - 24) and (actor.Pos.X <= self.Pos.X + 24) and (actor.Pos.Y >= self.Pos.Y - 25) and (actor.Pos.Y <= self.Pos.Y + 25) and (actor.PinStrength <= 0) then
if not self.teleactivated then
local teleactivate = CreateAEmitter("Teleport Activation");
teleactivate.Lifetime = 2000;
teleactivate.Pos = self.Pos;
teleactivate:EnableEmission(true);
MovableMan:AddParticle(teleactivate);
self.teledelaytimer:Reset();
self.teleactivated = 1
else
if self.teledelaytimer:IsPastSimMS(2000) then
--TELEPORTATION HAPPENS HERE
i = self.thistele + 1
if not (_teleporters[i]) then
i = 1
end
for oactor in MovableMan.Actors
if (oactor.Pos.X >= _teleporters[i].Pos.X - 24) and (oactor.Pos.X <= _teleporters[i].Pos.X + 24) and (oactor.Pos.Y >= _teleporters[i].Pos.Y - 25) and (oactor.Pos.Y <= _teleporters[i].Pos.Y + 25)
then
oactor:GibThis();
end
end
actor.Pos = _teleporters[i].Pos
self.teledelaytimer:Reset();
self.teleactivated = 0
end
end
end
end
end
end

Re: Lua based map objects, help! (BW related) What do you mean you can't make a teleporter that teleports to the next tele?
I saw some code in the Zombie Mission's Lua that randomly selects which actor/
weapon the Ronin guys should have when they spawn. It seems like a fairly simple
task to chnage that from that to an orderly thing that teleports the guy to the next
thing in the table.
And if the actual teleporters are static areas, then it's even better. Just put the code out
seperately in the .lua file for each teleporter, and just make it so when you enter an area,
it teleports you to the "Inward Bay" of the Tele (which has no tele code), using just positions
and then when you enter the "Outward bay" it teleports you to whatever position that teleporter
has in mind (Usually the next tele's Inward Bay).
Sure it isn't Dynamic and Scaleable (Unless the teleport position is defined by some sort of marker object),
But it should work.
EDIT: Nevermind.

Re: Lua based map objects, help! (BW related) ^:D
What I meant with the teleport pairing stuff was that it would be easier to learn where you would end up in when teleporting. But I guess it's not too hard to learn it this way either.

Re: Lua based map objects, help! (BW related) If you wanted to learn where you are going, maybe Numgun could have a
cute little icon/picture next to each teleporter describing the basic base structure
and style and objects etc.

Well, a bit of randomness should be cool. The main point is that theres a teleporter that can move you away from harm and where it takes you doesnt matter as long as you get the hell away from that other guy with the large gun. Gonna go test these scripts and add some new things now... Say, I was thinking how aqcuire weapons if those get broken or stolen from you. How should one be able to get new weapons during a match? And what about starting? Should you get a ready full loadout of random guns, or just a random sidearm or absolutely nothing but your knife?

Re: Lua based map objects, help! (BW related) Maybe a module that gives you a random ranged weapon? And a puny sidearm as a starter weapon would be nice I think.

Re: Lua based map objects, help! (BW related) it could be a terminal or something that calls a crate from the sky (When you shoot the picture of the weapon that you want),
and the crate will have that weapon.
Or a "Held Device" like the control chip, could be like credits, or money, and you toss one of those into a pod looking thing,
which immediately gets launched into the sky, and a moment later, a crate comes down. (And the pod respawns) Like
real money. Maybe the Held Device Credits could spawn based on the amount of money that you have, but it'd subtract the
real gold from you, so you could only use the credit system, and not the normal Buy menu. Each weapon would be
worth different amounts of credits, like "A Pistol is one Credit", and "An SMG is 2 Credits" etc.
Or you could just do a system like Klone Soccer where the different areas are unlocked and more weapons get available, but that's lame.

Re: Lua based map objects, help! (BW related) I like the idea about new stuff falling from the sky, but some of the maps are fully underground... so yeah. The credits thing... nah. I think one of those UT style weapon dispenser modules might be the way to go. Every 10 or even 20 seconds a new random weapon can be picked up if an actor enters it and it gets loaded straigth into his inventory. So it would first check if a player is within an area and see if the Timer for the next weapon is available (20 secs). Then it would load randomly one weapon from a list into the actors inventory and set the recharge timer to reset. ...how would one do a function to a module with a timer that would make it constantly spawn a particle effect(A simple glow MOPixel will do) to show that the module is ready to use again? EDIT: I cooked up some code, I'm pretty sure it will work and all it needs now is the effect that shows when the timer has ended for the new gun. EDITEDIT: I added some selfmade code, not tested yet. I have a doubt it will lag my CC to hell. Code: function Create(self)
x = self;
rechargetimer = Timer()
newgundelay = 25000 --25 sec recharge per gun
self.WepList = { "ViPeR", "SAR-12", "M75", "R78", "SRS900", "M50", "M925", "M353", "XMV-850", "XK2", "Fifty9", "R9", "Deermaster 6k", "Wilson", "AM76", "D49", "GRS9", "M802", "Knife", "Chainsaw", "HF Katana", "M763", "MRS38", "M280", "Lightning Gun", "HAMR", "G5", "JL21", "RX22A", };
self.BomList = { "NRP57 Grenade", "FP7 Grenade", "T10 Grenade" };
self.TolList = { "PT2", "PT46" };
self.readytogive = nil;
end
function Destroy(self)
end
function Update(self)
--Checks if actor within module and gives them a gun if 25 seconds have passed. Timer is then restarted.
for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
if (rechargetimer:IsPastSimMS(newgundelay)) and (actor.Pos.X >= self.Pos.X - 24) and (actor.Pos.X <= self.Pos.X + 24) and (actor.Pos.Y >= self.Pos.Y - 25) and (actor.Pos.Y <= self.Pos.Y + 25) then
actor:FlashWhite(500);
actor:AddInventoryItem(CreateHDFirearm(self.WepList[math.random(#self.WepList)],"BW.rte"));
rechargetimer:Reset()
end
if (rechargetimer:IsPastSimMS(newgundelay))
local readytogive = CreateMOPixel("Module Ready Pixel");
MovableMan:AddParticle(readytogive);
end
end

Re: Lua based map objects, help! (BW related) Hmm after further testing I found out this: The teleporters only work ONCE. After teleporting the actor to the next teleport and playing the animation, the teleports simply stops showing the teleportation effect, and it only teleports to itself with a brief blink to another teleporter. On top of that, the teleporter will teleport the actor instantly after the first time and will wait the 3 second delay between the teleportation and when it does teleport after the first time, it only teleports back to itself. Code: function Create(self)
if (_teleporters == nil) then
_teleporters = {self}
else
table.insert(_teleporters,self)
end
self.teledelaytimer = Timer();
self.teleactivate = nil;
self.thistele = #_teleporters;
end
function Destroy(self)
table.remove(_teleporters,self)
end
function Update(self)
if(#_teleporters > 1) then
for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
if (actor.Pos.X >= self.Pos.X - 24) and (actor.Pos.X <= self.Pos.X + 24) and (actor.Pos.Y >= self.Pos.Y - 25) and (actor.Pos.Y <= self.Pos.Y + 25) and (actor.PinStrength <= 0) then
if not self.teleactivated then
local teleactivate = CreateAEmitter("Teleport Activation");
teleactivate.Lifetime = 2000;
teleactivate.Pos = self.Pos;
teleactivate:EnableEmission(true);
MovableMan:AddParticle(teleactivate);
self.teledelaytimer:Reset();
self.teleactivated = 1
else
if self.teledelaytimer:IsPastSimMS(2000) then
--TELEPORTATION HAPPENS HERE
i = self.thistele + 1
if not (_teleporters[i]) then
i = 1
end
for oactor in MovableMan.Actors do
if (oactor.Pos.X >= _teleporters[i].Pos.X - 24) and (oactor.Pos.X <= _teleporters[i].Pos.X + 24) and (oactor.Pos.Y >= _teleporters[i].Pos.Y - 25) and (oactor.Pos.Y <= _teleporters[i].Pos.Y + 25) then
oactor:GibThis();
end
end
actor:FlashWhite(1500);
actor.Pos = _teleporters[i].Pos
self.teledelaytimer:Reset();
self.teleactivated = 0
end
end
end
end
end
end Then the zero gravity module doesnt work at all. Whats wrong here? Code: function Create(self)
x = self;
end
function Destroy(self)
end
function Update(self)
--Any actor inside this will get his vertical velocity reduced from the scenes gravity or something. Zero gravity is what it does anyways.
for actor in MovableMan.Actors do
if (actor.Pos.X >= self.Pos.X - 24) and (actor.Pos.X <= self.Pos.X + 24) and (actor.Pos.Y >= self.Pos.Y - 25) and (actor.Pos.Y <= self.Pos.Y + 25) then
actor.Vel.Y = actor.Vel.Y - SceneMan.Scene.GlobalAcceleration.Y
end
end
--Same for items
for item in MovableMan.Items do
if (item.Pos.X >= self.Pos.X - 24) and (item.Pos.X <= self.Pos.X + 24) and (item.Pos.Y >= self.Pos.Y - 25) and (item.Pos.Y <= self.Pos.Y + 25) then
item.Vel.Y = item.Vel.Y - SceneMan.Scene.GlobalAcceleration.Y
end
end
end However, I got the weapon dispenser to work perfectly. Except the glow effect to show its done reloading. The code is on my previous post.
