and and or : These operators only look at their second operand when they need to, in order to avoid causing run-time errors (this is called short-cut evaluation , but it's not necessary you know this). And will return its first argument if the value is false or nil, while or will return its first a...

3. Lua is case-sensitive. The word Goromorg is not the same as goromorg. Words reserved for use within lua can be used as variables simply by changing the case (Then instead of then, for example). All right, while the paragraph is technically correct, it also represents a programming sin so great t...

So, you don't get demon head to shoot fire, actually. What you get is an invisible object called SPAWNER (find it in the "Logic" section of objects), to which you'll write "fireball" or "fireball_greater" as the projectile. Then, all you do is [spawner]:activate() to ma...

Still, Almost Human might be interested in getting dxdiag report (dxdiag is a program in everybody's windows, and it can produce and export a report about the computer) and the crash error message. Not saying they will fix it, but it might be theoretically useful for them to look at it.

Does your tester have the most up-to-date version of the game?

If this really works, excellent job! This would be the very simple solution that it really seemed was out there waiting to be discovered (I had tried to use the blocker before, but couldn't get it to work without crashing). Is there a way to use it without creating a specific (cloned) party, though...

Yep, this is the best way: Put this into your objects.lua: -- this defines party_blocker -- don't forget to always set it to "deactivated", so that monsters can get through. cloneObject{ name = "party_blocker", baseObject = "blocker", editorIcon = 96, } -- this defines ...

Dear fellow modders, quite a few players are struggling with "Rite of Passage" dungeon . So far I'm only answering questions for situations where they got stuck, but that doesn't really give me any feedback on whether the pacing is good, how they move through the dungeon, where they look f...

actually, you could use DEactivated BLOCKERS, and in your onMove hook check if at the "destination" tile there is this blocker. When a blocker is deactivated, monsters can move through it with no problem. This would be slightly more efficient than placing all those N/S/W/E hidden pressure ...
