A list of what hooks i've found.

@leki: Monsters actually doesn't have a separate HealthComponent, its handled in MonsterComponent

Sure, health is designed for obstacles. My idea was just to try to 'hack it' in that way...

In other words: mesh node is blocking, as it was in LoG1, but he will also get console errors with capsule, ingame errors with sounds, drop loot, imunities, exp, monster evasion... so in the end, he can rebuild Monster definition using LoG1 defs, run it in engine in some way, but it's pain atm... and finally, there is really not reason to rip out dat file, go through hashes (or use for it that nice blenders python script), find skeleton model and identify main meshName...

What am I doing wrong or am I misinterpreting what the 'onArrival' hook does?

Code: Select all

defineObject {
   name = "teleporter_withSass",
   baseObject = "teleporter",
   components = {
      {
         class = "Portal",
         onArrival = function()
            print("No cake for you!")
         end
      }
   }
}

Code: Select all

defineObject {
   name = "teleporter_withSass",
   baseObject = "teleporter",
   components = {
      {
         class = "Portal",
         onArrival = function(self,champion)
            print("No cake for you!")
         end
      }
   }
}

Not sure but.

Hey! Don't call me a Butt! ~laughs~

[Doridion]

:p

I thought the function(self,champion) 'cause it's currently used in the item definitions.

And no butt there, we're professionnals

I Think the PortalComponent might be special.. It's blank in the script-reference atm, and it is only used in the "portal" game object.

         end
      }
   }
}

I don't think there is any hook for use of teleporter or exits. I have tried to find them and cannot. Prozail's list doesn't support their existence either. You can always put a floor trigger in on the spot before or after the teleport to capture what you want. Not as good as having hooks for them though.

Hey guys,
Hopefully this is an appropriate place to ask this question... Im having a bit of trouble doing something very simple

I have an item assassin dagger that has an onEquipItem hook that calls a script in the dungeon

Code: Select all

onEquipItem = function(champion, slot)
	return itemEquipScript.script.assassinDaggerEquip(champion, slot)
end

The function goes like this...

Code: Select all

function assassinDaggerEquip(champion, slot)
	hudPrint("Rogue class - Critical skill increases by 1 level.")
end

This works fine, but as soon as I start saying things like
local champ = party.party:getChampionByOrdinal(champion) or
local name = champion:getName()

the editor will crash... complaining about not being able to find the class n such...
Really not sure what I am doing wrong - have the parameters for onEquipItem changed?
Or am I not understanding the component system correctly?
Please Help!!

@Akroma not sure, couldn't test it yet, BUT the reference says "onEquipItem(self, champion, slot)"... Maybe if you add a first parameter it works?

basically what swampie said.

onEquipItem = function(self, champion, slot)
hudPrint("Rogue class - Critical skill increases by 1 level.")
end

also, try to have your itemdefinitions not rely on external scripts, makes them easier to cherrypick.
