"KillObject()" Is not working [Solved! Yay!]

Post by General_Nate »

Hey, I have yet another code problem.

Everything about this code works, save the KillObject function.

Code: Select all

OnObjectKill(
    function(object, killer)
        local name = GetEntityName(object)
        print("OnObjectKill():",name)
        if name == "panel" then
            ShowMessageText("mods.mymap.arefree")
            KillObject("fence1")
            KillObject("fence2")
        end
    end
)
(Ok, I know it's not very efficient, but I'll wait until everything works before I go down that path)
Help is greatly appreciated.

Make sure that yours objects "fence1" and "fence2" are in the correct layer on ZE. :wink:

They are in the BASE layer. Is that why it won't work?

KillObject works fine on objects. Are the fences ingame objects? mods.mymap.arefree is being displayed right?

Yes, everything about this code works. Well everything but the KillObject(). And yes, "fence1" and 2 are both objects ingame in the BASE layer.

EDIT: If it helps, I also have this, which does not work, but....

Code: Select all

OnObjectKill(
    function(object, killer)
        local name = GetEntityName(object)
        print("OnObjectKill():",name)
        if name == "panel" then
            ShowMessageText("mods.mymap.arefree")
            local name2 = GetEntityName(object)
	    if name2 == "fence1" then
		KillObject("fence1")
	    end
            local name3 = GetEntityName(object)
	    if name3 == "fence2" then
		KillObject("fence2")
	    end

        end
    end
)

That makes no sense. You're trying to kill something that got killed. Also you're creating 3 variables (name, name2, name3) for the same thing (the killed object).

Not sure why the code in your first post doesn't work though. Post your Errorlog.

Woops, sorry for the late reply. Any ways, here is the log:
Hidden/Spoiler:
OnObjectKill(): panel

Message Severity: 2
.\Source\LuaCallbacks_Mission.cpp(642)
Entity "Fence1" is EntityProp, but need GameObject

Not sure if that's the problem, but did you setup any health for your fences? I think they have to have health to be killable.

Like I mentioned, it would only work on objects. You have your fences as props. Use objects instead and it will work.

Ok, here is my odf:
Hidden/Spoiler:
[GameObjectClass]
ClassLabel = "prop"
GeometryName = "gt1_build_fencebig_01.msh"

[Properties]
GeometryName = "gt1_build_fencebig_01"
FoleyFXGroup = "metal_foley"
What do I need to change?
