The Windmill Example Script Problem

[Mince]

I tried the EntityNew={} ver

That gave me a error with inherit = nil???

 

The following Script dont work, either

 

if any one can help me rotate the blades that will be great.

 

--Include the base script for all classes

dofile("Scripts/base.lua")

 

 

--Some global sounds we will use for all instances

squeak={}

squeak[0]=LoadSound("abstract::squeak_1.ogg")

squeak[1]=LoadSound("abstract::squeak_2.ogg")

 

 

--This function builds the interface for the properties editor

function InitDialog(grid)

 

--Add the base interface for all classes

base_InitDialog(grid)

 

--Now we can add our own custom properties

group=grid:AddGroup( "Windmill" )

group:AddProperty( "spinspeed","|0,4",PROPERTY_FLOAT,"Spin Speed")

group:Expand(1)

 

end

 

 

--Spawn function for creating new instances

function Spawn(model)

local entity=base_Spawn(model)

 

--Retrieve a few limbs we will use later

entity.blades=model:FindChild("windmill_blades")

entity.base=model:FindChild("windmill_housing")

entity.model:SetKey("spinspeed","1")

 

--An update function for one instance. Declaring the function as part of the entity table allows us to use "self" for the table

function entity:Update()

 

--Although these limbs should always be present, it"s a good idea to add a check to make sure they exist before using them

if self.blades~=nil then

self.blades:Turnf(0,tonumber(self.model:GetKey("spinspeed"))*AppSpeed(),0,0)

end

 

if self.base~=nil then

 

--Make the base sway slightly

angle=math.sin(AppTime()/2000.0)*5-15

angle=angle+math.cos(AppTime()/500.0)*2

self.base:SetRotationf(0,0,angle,0)

 

--Make the base squeak

lasttime=tonumber(self.model:GetKey("lastsqueaktime","0"))

if (AppTime()-lasttime>8000) then

self.model:SetKey("lastsqueaktime",AppTime()+math.random(0,5000))

self.base:EmitSound(squeak[math.random(0,1)],50,1,0)

end

lasttime=tonumber(self.model:GetKey("lastsheeptime","0"))

 

end

 

end

 

end

 

 

--Update function, called during every UpdateWorld()

function Update(world)

if world==world_main then

local model,entity

for model,entity in pairs(entitytable) do

if model.world==world then

entity:Update()

end

end

end

end

where did you get the windmill model from? that hasn't been around since 2.3 first came out... which is also using very old inherent scripts and multi-state lua in the beta version of the LE2.3 editor in that video so not too surprised that it doesn't work in the latest LE2.5 evaluation version...

I Googled leadwerks engine examples and found a Site with a description about a windmill (must have been version 2.3 i guess) so i followed a link to download it and there it was. I now have it animated in 2.5

Thanks
