A list of what hooks i've found.

[Prozail]

Here are all the hooks that are atleast worth testing.

Prozail, man I don't know what I am doing wrong with these hooks. I can't get any monster ones to work. You say you got "onDie" and "OnPerofrmAction" to work for example. All I get is runtime errors. Here is my monster in monsters.lua:

Code: Select all

defineObject{
  	name = "skeleton_test",
   	baseObject = "skeleton_trooper",   
   	components = {
   		{
			class = "Monster",
		   	onDie = function()
				print("hit hook")
		   	end
        },     
   	}
 }   

The dungeon loads fine. As soon as I try to preview I get this:
[string "Monster.lua]:0: bad argument #1 to findNode (string expected, got nil)

No idea what it is complaining about. Getting very frustrated with these hooks. I am starting to think these are mostly broken until the next update.

You are getting these to work?



UPDATE: I get them to work when added dynamically! That is good. Still don't know what I am doing wrong with the monster.lua script though...

ALSO: Thanks for figuring "onPerformAction". That is huge. Because the actions I am getting are "move" and "turn". That is where onMove for monsters went.

... you just replaced complex asset definition of skeleton_troopers 'Monster class', by yours own 'Monster' class, so your Monster definition is missing this. In other words, you can replace model class, where is only "one line" in definition --> path to the model, but not 'Monster' where is a ton of obligatory definitions we don't known yet.

I am not so sure about that. With Log 2, we clone objects using defineObject but we specify the "baseObject". So I should have gotten all of what defines a "skeleton_trooper" and then overwritten any behavior I wanted in the script. All I was overwriting was trying to get the hooks to work.

Custom assets will take all of the components of the baseObject but altering any component overrides the entire component of the baseObject. So if you clone a dagger and change only the attackPower of the meleeAttack component, everything else in that component will be empty (So you can't throw the dagger as it has no weight defined, the editor will complain about a gfxIndex as it is not defined anymore, etc).

[msyblade]

cloneObject would copy all of the originals properties, changing what you want from the original, whereas defineObject creates an entirely new object, with only the definitions you give it (in this case, almost nothing). You want to clone the trooper and its properties, until we get the asset reference and can define new ones correctly. Hope this helps!

onDie is also in health I guess, so you can try:

Code: Select all

          {
             class = "Health",
             health = 1,
             onDie = function()
               print("I died.")
             end,
          },

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


this is the minimal definition of a monster (except for the onDie.. that can be removed)
what was missing was the "meshName" line.. that caused the nil error

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "skeleton_test",
	baseObject = "skeleton_trooper",   
	components = {
		{
			class = "Monster",
			name = "monster",
			meshName = "skeleton_knight_trooper_mesh",
			onDie = function(sender)
				hudPrint("I'll be back!")
			end

		},     
	}
}   

[NutJob]

I think you found what I was looking for earlier

Code: Select all

   PortalComponent
   onArrival

Thanks for this list!

	}
}   

I am learning a lot. That works. Thanks guys!
