learning lua

[cassius]

I decided to try learning lua script as a change from c++. I created a new project using advanced fp shooter template, but when I run it I just get a frozen screen containing a cube.

Is there more to it than that? What to do next?

File -> Open -> 07-AI and Events.map

Cool little map

 

But it mostly depends on what you want to do

[cassius]

Ah thanks. I see how it works now.

[cassius]

how do I get rid of 07-AI and Events.map and replace it with my own terrain based map without losing the gun.

I tried getting rid of all the models but when game runs they are still there..

Look at the 'Main.lua' script. Load the map you want to load.

[cassius]

 

Is this the code you refer to.

 

--Load the next map

Time:Pause()

if Map:Load("Maps/"..changemapname..".map")==false then return end

Time:Resume()

 

changemapname = nil

end

 

[macklebee]

No, I am referring to the Map:Load() before the main loop:

--Load a map

local mapfile = System:GetProperty("map","Maps/start.map")

if Map:Load(mapfile)==false then return end

 

Just load the name of your map instead of the default start.map

[cassius]

ok. thanks

When I change the map I lose the gun and contrtroller
