Re: Monster throwing items
Nice 
In fact the trap rune is in the asset pack. It isn't used in the game (as some of the monsters).
My problem is that the monster throw the trap_rune_dispelable_fire (which is displayed by a fire essence as I have absolutely no art skill) but when I'm hit, it just do the base damage and it doesn't create the trap_rune_dispelable_fire. But ! If I use the item and throw it against a wall it create the trap, if I throw it against a monster it works fine too !
If the monster attacks me and miss me, then it should create the trap as it does when I throw it. If the monster hit me it should create the trap and trigger it instantly.
I'll try your solutions

Re: Monster throwing items
Here is a different solution; (that you are welcome to use in full or in part).
The runes are harmless for 1.5 seconds; then they turn red, and explode if stepped on. They each fade away in 50 seconds.
(And they work for the snake as well.

Re: Monster throwing items
Here are new bomb and snake assests. The bomb explodes on impact with a monster or the party, or it lays a fire-trap rune when it hits a wall or obstacle.
*The snake spins around before spitting the fire bomb.

Re: Monster throwing items
I've created 4 different kind of traps (one for each element).
So I'd like to change the "if then" line in the brain component.
I tried
but it doesn't work.
What's the syntax to check for any name starting with "trap_rune_" ?

Re: Monster throwing items
If any name containing "trap_rune_" is okay, then it's easiest and fastest to use
If it specifically must start with "trap_rune_", then you would do this:
(asdf:sub(1,10) returns a string that is the first 10 characters of asdf)
You could also use pattern matching like you were trying to, using the string.match() function:The ^ indicates the beginning of the string, needed if you only want names starting with "trap_rune_" rather than just names containing "trap_rune_" anywhere (e.g. "xzxcnvbzxctrap_rune_zxcbm" would be matched by "trap_rune_*" but not "^trap_rune_*").
Code: Select all
if each.name:find("trap_rune_") thenCode: Select all
if each.name:sub(1,10) == "trap_rune_" thenYou could also use pattern matching like you were trying to, using the string.match() function:

Re: Monster throwing items
Many thanks ! That's exactly what I needed
EDIT: as you seem to be very precise in the use of lua, what is the fastest method from those three ? For me, it seems that the "sub" method should be fastest as it doesn't have to check the whole name. Am I right ?

Re: Monster throwing items
It is unlikely that the string.sub() approach is fastest unless the string you are searching is very long, since it has to allocate a new string for the substring. But I don't really know and can't be bothered to profile it; it's inconsequential in this context, you aren't performing this check very often.
