Again I have a problem with LUA . I have the fast zombie LUA . Now I would like that when the zombie I was killed a text for about 1 second displays get . I have now incorporated into the .exit function . With PromptDuration ( " xxxxx " , 1000) is the prima .




However, the text will be displayed just below the middle . Now I have tried it with text ( x , y ,, size "text " ) . That did not work . Then I still tried to start timer and getTimer . But that also did not go .



Can someone help me?

I'm not sure if the code will still be running as the exit function is called when the object is destroyed, I would think the exit function is a single call function for cleanup!, try moving it into the main loop and check the entities health

It works for me, I've just change 1000 by 3000.


You can run code via exit function, even increase a global var, IE: when you are working with some sort of "killcount" var.

yea I get that but surly the exit function is not looped, I mean, its called once when the object is destroyed so placing timer code in exit will fail ...... I'm only guessing here of course, goner go try it out to satisfy my own curiosity lol

yes it's (exit(e)) only run once when the entity is killed so you would need to set a separate entity that detects when enemies die to use the Text commands on a timer.

@ PartTimeCoder
You are right, I've not notice him entering the second piece of code, inside the exit function too, my fault.
