In my map, I'm trying to make it so a shield barrier disappears when I destroy a small generator. I'm using the small generator and collector shield from Mygeeto's campaign.

I sort of followed what was said in the second post of the second page of this thread but the shield disappears only when I destroy it manually instead of when I destroy its generator. Before this, however, I tried using the LinkedDestroyables function, but that did not work.

The shield's name is "Shield-command" in ZE and the generator's name is "PowerCell1".

PI2g_con.lua myg1_prop_energy_collector_shield.odf

I would use the function featured here.

First, remove the MaxHealth and ExplosionName parameter lines from the force shield's ODF; you won't be needing them. Second, in the function at the link above, replace objectBnameinZeroEditor with the name of your shield generator. And last, replace the PlayAnimation function with KillObject(""), where the name of your force shield goes in between the quotation marks.

Didn't work; here's my LUA:

PI2g_con.lua I get a crash immediately after the map starts to load if I place the function in between PostLoad and ScriptInit.
BFront2.log I'm so confused!

Please don't ever shadow bump your own topic again for no apparent reason.

You have an extra and unnecessary end here: And you're still going to leave the LinkedDestroyables function in your LUA?

Sorry!

The shield still does not disappear and now I get these:

PC_MungeLog.txt BFront2.log
PI2g_con.lua

PI2g_con.lua There, see if that fixes it.

Nope, all that did was get rid of all of the AI for some reason, even after a manual clean.

PI2g_con.lua

Hmmm, I had this problem when I used a command in the lua that wasn't supported by the game engine. Play the game with the modtools then crash it by pressing ALT+F4 at the same time and look at your log it should say something like: It's weird but just take out whatever it says CallProc failed: (none):0: attempt to call field '___'
whatever is in those quotation marks are not supported by the game.

The AI is gone because you're doing something wrong, the map works because you added that missing 'end'. It's not the problem so don't take it out.

Oh...yeah.....

I guess I had better try removing the parts about shields then, since they probably do not exist.

Yeah, what it means is that the function "SetupDestroyables" has something bad in it and thus the function is corrupted. Try removing certain shields or check the names to match the odfs or ze names.
