entity:GetKeyValue("name") does not work on prefab

[tumira]

Hi

 

Bought the engine and been doing some tutorials. Awesome stuff. While doing some tutorial I noticed some strange stuff.

 

Script.respawnPoint ="" --entity "Respawn Point"

 

function Script:Collision(entity, position, normal, speed)

if entity:GetKeyValue("name") == "FPSPlayer" then

spawnPos = self.respawnPoint:GetPosition()

entity:SetPosition(spawnPos)

end

end

 

The above code does not work on prefab ? If I change some property values, then the warning comes up telling me that this is not going to be an instanced prefab. If I clicked "OK" the above code will works otherwise it wont work. (I tested multiple times to confirm this)

 

I following tutorials from this guy. He is using version 3.1 and the same codes work on prefab (based from the video)

 

Also I think I notice someone else having the same problem here, I think..

I'm using the beta branch(4.0).

 

Thanks

What is the output if you add to the top of the function:

System:Print(entity:GetClassName().." - "..entity:GetKeyValue("name"))

It shows this for prefab

 

Model -

 

 

For the non prefab it shows this (I just change the property values and click "OK" to confirmed as non prefab instance.)

 

Model - FPSPlayer

 

This should be a bug correct ?

Anyway I just created and uploaded a simple map based from the FPS Template. Here are the links

The original FPS template player prefab name is "fpsplayer" and not "FPSPlayer".

 

So I changed the codes to reflect this. Still same error occurs. Just jump over the platform to trigger it.

Yes this doesn't work, so probably a bug yes.

 

If you want a quick workaround you can add this to fpsplayer.lua

 

Script.name="fpsplayer"

 

And change your code in DeathTrigger to:

 

if entity.script.name~=nil and entity.script.name == "fpsplayer" then

@shadmar thank you !

 

Hopefully Josh can fix this for the official release 4.0

maybe still the same issue i wrote about here, when the prefab is placed in the editor?

I know i wrote there about 2 issues, but at first i thought they might be connected. turned out the first one was just a misunderstanding on my side.
