 Accessing attached emitters Recently got back to modding and all that and i'm really rusty, more than ever really.
Anyway, now with all the new lua shenanigans of B25, what I was trying to make back in B24 should work right, buuuuuut.... It doesn't, obviously, because I knew ♥♥♥♥ in lua back then, and I know even less now.
Soooooo.... How can one access an emitter that is attached to another attachable and mess around with it's RotAngle? If that's even possible...

Re: Accessing attached emitters First, the emitter has to have GetsHitByMOs = 1 if you want to be able to mess around with it. Then you just run through all MOIDs, find which one has the emitter's PresetName and has the RootID of your object, and then you have access to the emitter.

Re: Accessing attached emitters Thus, something along the lines of: Code: for i = 1,MovableMan:GetMOIDCount()-1 do
self.otherblah = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i);
if self.otherblah.PresetName == "otherblah" and self.otherblah.ClassName == "AEmitter" and self.otherblah.RootID == self.ID then
for i = 1,MovableMan:GetMOIDCount()-1 do
self.blah = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i);
if self.blah.PresetName == "blah" and self.blah.ClassName == "AEmitter" and self.blah.RootID == self.ID then
self.blah.RotAngle = self.otherblah.RotAngle;
end
end
end
end
'Blah' being the attached-to-attachable emitter, and 'otherblah' being another emitter that is attached to the parent. If so, then strangely enough, it's a no go. No errors in the console, but no effect either.

Re: Accessing attached emitters I don't see why you would need to check for the attachable. Code: for i = 1, MovableMan:GetMOIDCount()-1 do
local part = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(i);
if part.PresetName == "Some Emitter Name" and part.ClassName == "AEmitter" and part.RootID == self.RootID then
<stuff>
break;
end
end

Re: Accessing attached emitters Seems that attached-to-attachable emitters do not have MOIDs (According to the MOID view).
Any other way to access them?

Re: Accessing attached emitters They're only accessible using MOID tricks if they're GetsHitByMOs = 1. MaximDude wrote: Any other way to access them? You could have a script attached to the emitter that drops a pointer of it into a global table, and your main script can grab the emitter off of that.

Re: Accessing attached emitters Yeah, but it is GHBM = 1, that's the issue...
About the pointer blah blah, no idea what and how... :/

Re: Accessing attached emitters So pretty much on your emitter, you have something like this: Code: function Create(self)
if globalAttaTable == nil then
globalAttaTable = {};
end
if self.RootID ~= self.ID then
local secondaryAttaTable = {};
secondaryAttaTable[1] = MovableMan:GetMOFromID(self.RootID);
secondaryAttaTable[2] = self;
globalAttaTable[#globalAttaTable+1] = secondaryAttaTable;
end
end
And on your root body, you have this: Code: function Create(self)
self.listNumTable = {};
self.attaTable = {};
end
function Update(self)
if self.grabbedAtta == nil then
self.grabbedAtta = false;
else
if self.grabbedAtta == false then
self.grabbedAtta = true;
if globalAttaTable ~= nil then
for i = 1, i < #globalAttaTable do
if globalAttaTable[i][1] ~= nil and globalAttaTable[i][1].ID == self.ID then
self.attaTable[#self.attaTable+1] = globalAttaTable[i][2];
self.listNumTable[#self.listNumTable+1] = i;
end
end
end
end
end
end
function Destroy(self)
for i = 1, i < #self.listNumTable do
globalAttaTable[self.listNumTable[i]][1] = nil;
globalAttaTable[self.listNumTable[i]][2] = nil;
end
end
All of the attached things should be in self.attaTable after the first frame the script has run (so that means do a check on the attachables before you try to access them). Edit: Whoops, a few typos in there.
