Hi,

I am trying Lua and I have a question about Lua.

I know that 'e' is to make reference to the involved entity. But, I want to make reference to other entity. I mean, how can i say the next condition:

"if the current entity is in a specific zone then...."

I have a trigger zone and a box entity. I want to move the box (using bullets) to this trigger zone and at this moment say "congratulations", for example.

Thanks!

This thread would be best place in Script sub-forum, maybe some mod can move it.

There you'll get more help than here.

Without semi-complex scripting?

Get the "e" number of the item from bottom left of the editor when you mouseover.

Ok. Sorry for asking in the wrong subforum and thanks for moving it.

!nullptr, I have already try with that number and always, i get error.

I have written this test:

+ Code Snippet

function test_init(e)
end

function test_main(e)
Prompt(g_Entity[7002]['z'])
end

The error is: error running function scriptbank\test.lua:9: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)

With 'e', i don't get this error and it Works.

What is wrong?

Thanks!

You'd have to have more than 7000 entities to have that number.

I'd suggest you are using the obj id not the "e" - it should be first number on the left. If your map is low population, it's probably anything from 1 to 10.

It would have worked with "e" because that is the entity the script is attached to, not the one you want.

Ok. On the left, I can see {2 [70002]...}. I thought 70002 was my object number. Now, with "[2]" Works perfectly.

Thanks a lot.
