trigger problem

[dennis]

Hello all,

 

Today I followed one of aggror's tutorials on using triggers and events.

 

I tried to make a light that actually could flick on and off.

I wrote one, that didn't work.

so I wrote one exactly as his and that even didn't work,,,

Why isn't it working for me?

 

I use this code for the switch:

 

require("scripts/class")

local class=CreateClass(...)



function class:CreateObject(model)
	local object=self.super:CreateObject(model)



function object:Update()
                     if KeyHit(KEY_E) ==1 then
                            for n = 0,7 do
                                 target = self.model:GetTarget(n)
                                       if target ~= nil then
                                            target:SendMessage("trigger_light", self.model,0)
                                        end
                                 end
                             end
                      end
end

 

for my light I'll spare the pre-written code for u and just go on to trigger part

 

 

function object:ReceiveMessage(message, delay)
       if message == "trigger_light" then


        if self.active == 1 then

                --hide the light
                 object.light:Hide()
                 self.active = 0

         elseif self.active == 0 then

                 --show the light
                 object.light:Show()
                 self.active = 1
           end
end
end

 

Why isn't this working?

I assume the objects are linked correctly? Parent and child etc.

Yes I did. But i kinda solved it. But now it's only responding when i push the E key while pointing at the switch at the very bottom corner at the sides. Why is this so? Now i have the trigger working but the model or something is acting strange
