Need help again

Code: Select all

function chaos_wall_destroy()
	local nameteleporter = "tele"..counter_chaos:getValue()
	print ("dest "..nametele)
	nameteleporter:destroy()
end

Here, I have a function which must destroy a teleporter.
The teleporter was created before by script. The id of this teleporter is "tele"..counter_chaos:getValue()
I increment a counter each time a teleporter is created to have a different name.

The names of the teleporters are tele1, tele2, tele3 ... ...
(no problem with that)

But when I want to destroy it using the name I make dynamicly, it don't works

try this:

Code: Select all

function chaos_wall_destroy()
local nameteleporter = findEntity("tele"..counter_chaos:getValue())
print ("dest "..nametele)
nameteleporter:destroy()
end

The reason is because you are actually trying to call an entity with a string, findEntity will turn a string into an entity
Or whatever...

thanks for help, it works now

I have a new question :

do you know how to send parameters to the function called here :
timer:addConnector("activate", "chaos_wall_script", "chaos_wall_dest")

The script id is "chaos_wall_script", the function of this script is "chaos_wall_dest" but I need to send a parameter to this function..?

If you have a timer in between and it's the timer that triggers the function, then the only way I know of is to have the earlier script set a flag/variable and have the new function first check that variable
