accessing scripts

[xtreampb]

So I have a script attached to my entity. I'm trying to access the same script attached to another entity, but it keeps on saying what i have a null value when trying to access it. I am using LE 3.0 Attached is the script:

 

require "Scripts/Animation/AnimationManager.lua"
require "Scripts/Functions/GetEntityNeighbors.lua"
Script.teamID=0 --choice Team "Good, Bad, Neutral"
Script.enabled=true --bool
Script.takeDamage=true --bool
Script.attackRng=1.5 --float
Script.sightDist=10 --int
Script.target="" --entity
Script.maxHealth=30 --int
Script.health=30 --int

function Script:Start()

--create the animation manager to handle all animations
self.animationManager=AnimationManager:Create(self.entity)
end

--[[
function Script:UpdateMatrix()

end
]]--
--[[
function Script:UpdateWorld()

end
]]--
--function Script:UpdateAnimations(int newState)--used to update the animations to the new state
--end
function Script:CanTakeDamage()
return self.takeDamage
end
function Script:UpdatePhysics()
if self.target ~= nil then
System:Print(self.entity:ToString() .." has a target")
self:Attack()
else
System:Print(self.entity:ToString() .." has no target")
end
end
function Script:Attack()--used to handle the attack routinue

--this check should be done when acquiring targets//JCT
if self.target.takeDamage==true then --if our target can take damage --[[this always results to false if i try self.target:CanTakeDamage() or self.target.entity:CanTakeDamage() or self.target.entity.script:CanTakeDamage() it always says that this is trying to evaluate a nil value.--]]
local targetPos=self.target.entity:GetPosition(true) --get the position of our target
local position=Transform:Point(targetPos.x, targetPos.y, targetPos.z, nil, self.entity)--transform the point from global space to local space to our perspective

--rotate to face the target
local p0=self.entity:GetPosition(true)
local p1=self.target.entity:GetPosition(true)
local yaw=Math:ATan2(p1.x-p0.x, p1.z-po.z)-180
yaw=Math:CurveAngle(self.entity:GetRotation().y, yaw, 2)
self.entity:SetInput(yaw,0,0,0,false,0) --disable all movement and turn ourselves to face the target

--[[
not sure what this does so leaving out for testing//JCT
pos=pos * self.entity:GetScale()
pos.z=pos.z*-1
]]
if pos.z>0 and pos.z<self.attackRng then
--[[
not sure why the bellow test case is revelant//JCT
if pos.z>math.abs(pos.x) and pos.z>math.abs(pos.y) then
--]]
self.target:TakeDamage(10)
System:Print(self.target .. " Took Damage")
end
end
end
function Script:TakeDamage()--used as a way for this entity to take damage from outside sources


end
--[[
function Script:Collision(entity, position, normal, speed)

end
]]--

function Script:Draw()
--update animations
self.animationManager:Update()
end

--[[
function Script:DrawEach(camera)

end
]]--
--[[
function Script:Release()

end
]]--
--[[
function Script:Cleanup()

end
]]--
