Uh, each loop runs twice, for a total of four iterations of the inner loop.

Does it? Maybe I missed it; I thought the loops were using stepping 2, and that a loop like 16,18,2 would only run once, and be at 18.

*Yep, it runs twice, and I should have known it. It shows the downside of reading and posting scripts at 4AM.
Off by 1 errors have their own special sting to them; when you realize you've made one.

Something like this perhaps?

Code: Select all

party.party:spawn("dagger")

I think you meant

Code: Select all

party:spawn("dagger")

		},
	},

minmay wrote:Uh...did you mean to put that in an onAttack hook? Because what you're trying to do right now is put the return value of party:spawn("scifi_spentshotshells") as the value for key 1 in the ReloadFirearm component. Which wouldn't make sense even if it didn't. And it can't possibly not crash, because how could the party possibly exist before object definitions are even run? The party would have to be created before the party object is even defined!

You should be able to get a smoother rise by halving the increments, (or perhaps quartering); while reducing the timer interval.

(Using different scripting, though.)

I agree, in initial version I have a quartered step, but my beacon is on elevation -7, so it was too long wait for the player. I tried first to lower interval on the timer, but it seems that it has no effect under 0.05. I couldn't find if timers has a minimum interval value?
