Weapon ODF troubles - And now LUA issues, too

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.... :wink:
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....

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

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

if so then it looks fine to me

rep_bldg_in_blueturret
Is this supposed to be rep_bldg_inf_blueturret ?

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

Ah - could this be the problem?

Code: Select all

function sayHello()
    local message = "Hello"

    showMsg = function()

    end

    showMsg()

But this won't work as expected:

Code: Select all

function sayHello()
    local message = "Hello"

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

showMsg()
Would I have to put one function inside the other?

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

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

C:\BF2_ModTools\data_FTG\_BUILD\Common\..\..\..\ToolsFL\Bin\luac.exe: ..\..\common\scripts\FTG\FTGc_con.lua:93: `)' expected (to close `(' at line 83) near `turretswitchandmatrixget'

Am I nesting it wrong?

			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.
