Need help with a simple code

[extenz]

Okay so I'm probably just stupid and doing something wrong because I haven't used Leadwerks in a while now but I need help with this little code -

 

Script.box = "" --entity

function Script:Start()
  local material = Material:Create()
  material:SetColor(1,0,0)
end

function Script:Collision(entity, position, normal, speed)
  self.box:SetMaterial(material)
end

 

I put it on a trigger ( Collision type is set to trigger, "box" is set to a CSG ) and everytime I enter the trigger the game just stops responding.

I also tried Material:Load but that does not work either.

 

Please help ;-;

Script.box = "" --entity

Script.material = nil

 

function Script:Start()

self.material = Material:Create()

self.material:SetColor(1,0,0)

end

 

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

self.box:SetMaterial(self.material)

end

Nope, that doesn't work either. http://i.imgur.com/NEp7vFe.png

I think there's something wrong with my Leadwerks

As Rolands example states: You are declaring the material veriable in the start function. It no longer exists out of that function, so in the collision function, lua has no idea what that variable is.

 

Another caveat: does your csg box have mass or a script attached to it? Otherwise it is being 'collapsed' at startup (for performance sake), and will no be accesable in the script.
