Grimrock

I'm struggling to figure out how I can change the properties of an object created via script at runtime. Where the ID of the object isn't known beforehand. For example, spawning in a door, and then setting it's pullChain value to true. local ID_string = "door_" .. getUniqueID() spawn("...

Oh nice, yours seems much more random in its layouts, actually designing the paths in real time. Here's a couple screens of what I've got http://i.imgur.com/ONRGWLD.png That's the floor layout in the top left. 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 7 being the critical path, and 9's being offshoots. http://i.imgu...

You are destroying the invisible walls for the paths you are using, for ones you don't you leave the walls there. Not quite, the map starts completely empty and builds up the walls from the script. Are you building the paths on game start or are you building them as the party moves thru the level? ...

I'm using the dungeon_wall asset with invisible walls behind and pillars between the walls, I started with secret doors but found that they actually stick out a tiny bit more than dungeon walls, so some object don't look good on them. I've got it working pretty good thus far. I divide up the 32x32 m...

Ah yep, that does work. I think I still had another bit of bad code floating around.

Thanks for the help, this'll work nicely.

Oh wait, no this doesn't work in grimrock: test_array = {} test_array["test"] = 1 print (test_array["test"]) Global error. So here's what I'm trying to do. I'm working on a procedurally generated dungeon. I have a bunch of tables that store layout data for chunks of the dungeon. ...

Oh I see, like this:
So instead of using number indexes, using string indexes.

This should work for what I'm doing, thanks!

I'm very new to lua by the way.

So pairs and ipairs just steps through the table right? Doesn't gain access to the variables from the strings on its own.
Is just giving me nil there

If I run the following chunk of lua script in an online interpreter it works perfectly fine and prints out 5. table = {"varname"} varname = 5 print (_G[table[1]]) However, if I try and run it in my dungeon script, I get the error: "attempt to index global '_G' (a nil value)" Does...
