Script Pickup weapon (LUA)

[Leon]

Hi I'm following Ricky Weapon pickup tutorial

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWBGtJ7NQ4Y

 

but after I attached the script to my weapon I have an error on line 30

that says

 

 

Script.entered = false

Script.exited = false

Script.hadCollision = false

 

Script.vModel = "" --path

 

function Script:UpdatePhysics()

if self.entered then

if self.hadCollision == false then

if self.exited == false then

self.exited = true

self.component:CallOutputs("TriggerExit")

self.entered = false

end

end

end

 

self.hadCollision = false

end

 

function Script:Collision(entity, position, normal, speed)

self.hadCollision = true

 

self.component:CallOutputs("OnCollide")

 

if self.entered == false then

self.component:CallOutputs("TriggerEnter")

if entity:GetKeyValue("type") == "player" then

entity.script.weaponfile = self.vModel

entity.script:Loadweapon()

self.entity:Hide()

end

 

self.entered = true

self.exited = false

end

end

It should say LoadWeapon (with a big W)

[Leon]

nope..I trie ..but doens work

Did you follow the tutorial and actually create the LoadWeapon function? Make sure there are no typos anywhere.

[Leon]

I'm following the tutoria land I'm doinog exactly what Rick done ..I controlled for typos errors but not found anything

[Rick]

Can you show us your LoadWeapon() function, and what script do you have the LoadWeapon() function in. Want to make sure you have function Script:LoadWeapon() and not just function LoadWeapon(). Those 2 are at different scopes and could cause this error also.

I dont have any loadweapon script--

 

In your tutorial I didnt see any loadweapon script

 

if you are referring to fpsplayer script that contain the weaponscript...i didnt touch anything..

 

 

this...

 

--Load the default weapon, if one is set

if self.weaponfile~="" then

local entity = Prefab:Load(self.weaponfile)

if entity~=nil then

if entity.script~=nil then

entity.script.player = self

self.weapon = entity.script

self.weapon.entity:SetParent(self.camera)

self.weapon.entity:SetRotation(0,0,0)

if self.weapon.offset~=nil then

self.weapon.entity:SetPosition(self.weapon.offset)

else

self.weapon.entity:SetPosition(0,0,0)

end

end

end

end

I dont have any loadweapon script--

 

And that right there is your problem, you need to create a LoadWeapon function. You can't call what doesn't exist, ergo you get "nil" value errors. View the tutorial video again and you will see what is changed and where the LoadWeapon function is created.

[Rick]

There is a point in the tutorial where I break out those lines of code that were in Script:Start() into their own function name LoadWeapon(). That's the part you must have missed.
