  Halp with some codeOk, so, I have a gun that shoots a shell with 'poison'.
The shell travels and hits a target (Must be a live human to work), then it gibs and then the lua part must kick in. Sadly, this ♥♥♥♥ ain't workin'. I've put the code together with some copypasta and editing from other mods (Cause I fail at lua, obviously >_<) Code: function Create(self) self.hurtTimer = Timer(); self.hurtInterval = 10; end function Update(self) for actor in MovableMan.Actors do if actor.PresetName == "Browncoat Light" or actor.PresetName == "Browncoat Heavy" or actor.PresetName == "Soldier Light" or actor.PresetName == "Soldier Heavy" or actor.PresetName == "Dafred" or actor.PresetName == "Mia" or actor.PresetName == "Dimitri" or actor.PresetName == "Brutus" or actor.PresetName == "Sandra" or actor.PresetName == "Gordon" then if self.hurtTimer:IsPastSimMS(self.hurtInterval) then actor.Health = actor.Health - 3; self.hurtTimer:Reset(); end end end end What is wrong? |

Re: Halp with some code I'll help you when you spell right. Intentional grammatical and spelling errors are not witty or humorous.

Re: Halp with some code Intentional refusal to help over such a tiny thing as intentional misspells is not witty or humorous. Don't flame him for a choice he made intentionally for effect.

Re: Halp with some code What's wrong is that you haven't designated any actor to do it to.
Either on update or destroy copy the target finding code from the coalition missile launcher, then do whatever you need to to it. Also, to designate a holy ♥♥♥♥ of things at once, try using a list rather than individually listing all of them. It's faster and neater. |

Re: Halp with some code looking at my post, and then back to yours, it looks like you're seeing color tags for some reason.. i cant see them in my post though, so im thinking its something your end. i am copypasting from notepad++, so i can indent easily. no idea why that would lead to color tags in your quote of my post without them though.
