Weapon ODF troubles - And now LUA issues, too

Fiodis · Post by **Fiodis** » Sun May 23, 2010 12:20 pm

I'm trying to make a turret fire at you only if you stand up against it for a while. To this aim, I've decreased LockOnTime to 3.0, LockOnRange to 1.0, and some other tweaks:

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code][WeaponClass]

ClassLabel          = "cannon"

[Properties]

OrdnanceName            = "rep_weap_inf_autoturret_ord"

MuzzleFlash         = "med_muzzle_flash"

Discharge           = "med_smoke_effect"

RoundsPerClip           = "0"

HeatPerShot         = "0.0"

HeatRecoverRate         = "0.0"

HeatThreshold           = "0.0"

MinRange            = "0"

OptimalRange            = "1"

MaxRange            = "1.1"

RecoilLengthLight           = "0.1"

RecoilStrengthLight         = "1"

RecoilLengthHeavy           = "0.05"

RecoilStrengthHeavy         = "1"

ZoomMin             = "2.0"

ZoomMax             = "8.0"

ZoomRate            = "2.0"

ShotDelay           = "1.7"

LockOnRange         = "1.0"

LockTime            = "3.0"

MinSpread           = "0.1"

MaxSpread           = "0.35"

AutoAimSize         = "30.0"

TargetEnemy         = "1"

TargetNeutral           = "1"

TargetFriendly          = "1"

TargetPerson            = "1"

TargetAnimal            = "1"

TargetDroid         = "1"

TargetVehicle           = "0"

TargetBuilding          = "0"

SalvoCount          = "1"

SalvoDelay          = ".1"

//**********************************************

//****************** SOUND *********************

//**********************************************

FireSound   = "com_weap_turret_fire_mini"

FoleyFXGroup            = "metal_foley"

[/code][/size]

However, it doesn't work; the turrets fire at me even if I'm farther away from them, and they don't wait. Am I changing the wrong values?

MinRange = "0"
OptimalRange = "0.5"
MaxRange = "1"
ExtremeRange = "1"

these tell the AI how far away to target with each gun. you could also give the turret a slow projectile, and have it transition to zero damage, but I have a feeling you are making an LUA gun...

I have a feeling you're right....

Thanks for the ExtremeRange. It worked.

EDIT: But the lua code didn't. I may as well continue this thread rather than start a new one, as the issue pertains to the same weapon.

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code]	getturretcoordinates = OnCharacterDispenseControllable(

		function(dropper, thing)

			if GetEntityClass(thing) == FindEntityClass("rep_bldg_inf_blueturret") then

				SetObjectTeam(thing, 3)

				local bluematrix = GetEntityMatrix(thing)

			elseif GetEntityClass(thing) == FindEntityClass("rep_bldg_inf_goldturret") then

				SetObjectTeam(thing, 3)

				local goldmatrix = GetEntitMatrix(thing)

			end

		end

	)

	turretswitchandmatrixget = OnObjectDamage(

		function(tobeteleported, teleporter)

			if GetEntityClass(teleporter) == FindEntityClass("rep_bldg_inf_blueturret") then

				local movedguy = GetCharacterUnit(tobeteleported)

				SetEntityMatrix(movedguy, goldmatrix)

			elseif GetEntityClass(teleporter) == FindEntityClass("rep_bldg_inf_goldturret") then

				local movedguy = GetCharacterUnit(tobeteleported)

				SetEntityMatrix(movedguy, bluematrix)

			end

	end

	)[/code][/size]

I get this in the error log:

I'm trying to make it so that when the player is shot by the gold turret, he's moved to the blue one, and vice versa. In-game, though, nothing happens when he's shot. I'm pretty sure I got the GetEntityClass part right....

myers73 · Post by **myers73** » Sun May 23, 2010 2:30 pm

GetEntityClass() wants a string and you are giving it a variable, at least I think that is the problem

Fiodis · Post by **Fiodis** » Sun May 23, 2010 2:37 pm

Isn't that line supposed to check if teleporter's class is equal to rep_bldg_in_blueturret?

myers73 · Post by **myers73** » Sun May 23, 2010 2:40 pm

if so then it looks fine to me

CressAlbane · Post by **CressAlbane** » Mon May 24, 2010 3:58 pm

rep_bldg_in_blueturret

Is this supposed to be rep_bldg_inf_blueturret ?

myers73 · Post by **myers73** » Mon May 24, 2010 4:09 pm

i dont see that typo anywhere...

Fiodis just wrote it in his post. He didn't make that mistake in the Lua.

I feel dumb.

Fiodis · Post by **Fiodis** » Mon May 31, 2010 10:28 am

Ah - could this be the problem?

[RDH]Zerted wrote:Only if that other function was created in the same scope/level as the local variable. As an example, this is ok:
Code: Select all
function sayHello()
    local message = "Hello"

    showMsg = function()
        print("showMsg() says: ", message)
    end

    showMsg()

But this won't work as expected:
Code: Select all
function sayHello()
    local message = "Hello"
end

showMsg = function()
    print("showMsg() says: ", message)
end

showMsg()

Would I have to put one function inside the other?

myers73 · Post by **myers73** » Mon May 31, 2010 2:56 pm

yes, just write it into one big function with the two functions inside of it. these are deployable turrets right? if not then just use an OnEnterRegion() teleport

Fiodis · Post by **Fiodis** » Mon May 31, 2010 6:19 pm

This, however:

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code]	combinedfunctions = OnCharacterDispenseControllable(

		function(dropper, thing)

			if GetEntityClass(thing) == FindEntityClass("rep_bldg_inf_blueturret") then

				SetObjectTeam(thing, 3)

				local bluematrix = GetEntityMatrix(thing)

			elseif GetEntityClass(thing) == FindEntityClass("rep_bldg_inf_goldturret") then

				SetObjectTeam(thing, 3)

				local goldmatrix = GetEntitMatrix(thing)

			end

		end

			turretswitchandmatrixget = OnObjectDamage(

		function(tobeteleported, teleporter)

			if GetEntityClass(teleporter) == FindEntityClass("rep_bldg_inf_blueturret") then

				local movedguy = GetCharacterUnit(tobeteleported)

				SetEntityMatrix(movedguy, goldmatrix)

			elseif GetEntityClass(teleporter) == FindEntityClass("rep_bldg_inf_goldturret") then

				local movedguy = GetCharacterUnit(tobeteleported)

				SetEntityMatrix(movedguy, bluematrix)

			end

	end

	)

	)[/code][/size]

Gets me this:

Code: Select all

Am I nesting it wrong?

			local movedguy = GetCharacterUnit(tobeteleported)
			SetEntityMatrix(movedguy, bluematrix)
		end
	end
)

^would work

no it wont, the local variables have to be defined at at the same level, so the two functions have to be part of a bigger function.
