Hi I am truing to make a spider egg object that when it die it spawn a poison cloud on the party. I tried this and it crashes lol. I am not sure if the poison_cloud_medium is correct. Any ideas on this??
Code: Select all
defineObject {
name = "spider_eggs_hatching_poison",
baseObject = "spider_eggs",
components = {
{
class = "Health",
health = 60,
onDie = function(self)
spawn("poison_cloud_medium", self.level, self.x, self.y,0,0)
party.party:shakeCamera(0.6,1)
end
}
}
}

"self" refers to the Health component in this case, and components do not have properties such as x, y and level. Either use self.go to access the game object, or even better use the gameobject to spawn the poison cloud at the location of the egg:
Code: Select all
self.go:spawn("poison_cloud_medium")

Hi. so I don't need to use this (spawn("poison_cloud_medium", self.level, self.x, self.y,0,0) just self.go:spawn("poison_cloud_medium") awesome thxs for the reply
EDIT: Ok I did what you said and sorry it still crashed
Code: Select all
defineObject {
name = "spider_eggs_hatching_poison",
baseObject = "spider_eggs",
components = {
{
class = "Health",
health = 60,
onDie = function(self)
self.go:spawn("poison_cloud_medium")
party.party:shakeCamera(0.6,1)
end
}
}
}

Could it be better like that ?
Code: Select all
defineObject {
name = "spider_eggs_hatching_poison",
baseObject = "spider_eggs",
components = {
{
class = "Health",
health = 60,
onDie = function(self)
self.go:spawn("poison_cloud_medium", party.level, party.x, party.y, 0, party.elevation)
party.party:shakeCamera(0.6,1)
end
}
}
}

It might be the same problem as in this:
viewtopic.php?f=22&t=8142
Edit: Yup.. was the same problem.. onDie keeps calling itself recursivly if you do it like that.
Try this.
Code: Select all
defineObject {
name = "spider_eggs_hatching_poison",
baseObject = "spider_eggs",
components = {
{
class = "Health",
health = 60,
onDie = function(self)
if self.done then return end
self.go:spawn("poison_cloud_medium")
party.party:shakeCamera(0.6,1)
self.done = 1
end
}
}
}

User defined component properties are not serialized to save games. In this case it's not a problem but I just thought to share this info.

Hi thxs for the code guys
awesome.
Prozail yours works very well. Although the cloud does not hit the party as intended, but still awesome man
I tried your code Doridion, but it crashed. At least it works thxs.
Now I have the following:
Spider egg: Poison cloud. (thxs to you guys).
Spider egg: Spawns a big spider onDie
Spider egg: Spawns those cute little spiders running around.
Barrels that give random food: Here is the code it works, but the food is spawned in one position (0) I would like the food to spawn in all 4 directions eg 0 ,1,2,3. I know it's not the best code, I am not good at coding thattts why I ask questions lol. I am going to make more barrels that spawn othere items eg: bullets etc..
Code: Select all
defineObject{
name = "breakable_food_barrel",
baseObject = "barrel_crate_block",
components = {
{
class = "Health",
health = 15,
onDie = function(self)
local foodList = {"ice_lizard_steak", "baked_maggot", "boiled_beetle", "rat_shank", "pitroot_bread", "herder_cap"}
local many = math.random(1, 4)
local facing = (party.facing + 2)%4
for i = 1, many do
spawn(foodList[math.random(1, #foodList)], self.go.level, self.go.x, self.go.y, 0, self.go.elevation)
end
end
}
}
}

Do you mean:
spawn(foodList[math.random(
1,3 #foodList)], self.go.level, self.go.x, self.go.y, 0, self.go.elevation)

No
Change this
spawn(foodList[math.random(1, #foodList)], self.go.level, self.go.x, self.go.y, 0, self.go.elevation)
for this
spawn(foodList[math.random(1, #foodList)], self.go.level, self.go.x, self.go.y, math.random(0, 3), self.go.elevation)
Bye
