health pack

[Gamer4Life]

I was trying to get a health pack pick up script working from a leadwerks tutorial video and for some reason I'm getting a script nil value on line 11 at ,( if player.script.health < player.script.maxHealth then. ) Anyone know why?

Script.health = 25.0 --float "Health"
Script.useOnce = true --bool "Use once"
function Script:Start()
if  self.health < 0 then

 error ("Health can't be a negative value.")
end
end
function Script:Use(player)
if player.script.health < player.script.maxHealth then
 player.script:ReceiveHealth(self.health)
 if self.useOnce then
  self.entity:Release()
 end
end

end

The player parameter must be nil which means whatever called this Use function didn't pass a valid object into it.

Try

 

if player.entity.script.health < player.entity.script.maxHealth then

[Rick]

If the script is what's passed in then just do:

 

if player.health M okater,maxHealth then

 

No need to go back to the entity and then back to the script again.

Thanks Rick. That was the issue. It took me a while to figure out the line underneath it after I changed the line to what you recommended but essentially since it would not let me use the script I had to identify each by name. If anyone needs a health pack code that seemed to work for me.

Script.health = 25.0 --float "Health"
Script.useOnce = true --bool "Use once"
function Script:Start()
if  self.health < 0 then

 error ("Health can't be a negative value.")
end
end
function Script:Use(player)
if player.health < player.maxHealth then  
player.health = self.health + player.health
 if self.useOnce then
  self.entity:Release()
 end
end

end
