I couldn't redact a better title. So, I'm making a particle which changes it's position to an actor's one. Now, if the actor dies, the game crashes. Obviously, I made the particle delete itself if actor.Health < 1. But, that doesn't work if the actor is gibbed. Is there any function to check that? Or any way? |

Check that the actor's ID isn't 255 -- you can always access that. |

Ah, I forgot that. Many much thanks, Master. |

Correct me if I'm wrong but couldn't you just add an 'if MovableMan:IsActor(actor) then' check before referencing the actor? |

Yeah, that also works -- probably better in this case, admittedly. Checking the ID works better for generic objects. |

Yeah, of course, since you don't have to figure out which class they fit in, I was wondering why you chose that instead. Also I'd imagine it's great for attachables (or at least a similar method is for getting pointers to them) since they don't seem to fit in any class; it took me irritatingly long to figure it out the other day. But then again, attachables are generally kind of screwy, for example, PresetMan:ReloadAllScripts() doesn't affect them but self:ReloadScripts() does you can't stick pie buttons on them as far as I can tell, though that may be deliberate. |
