Hey guys,

 

I've been looking at and trying to follow some of the great tutorials you guys have made (I'm using the 3.1 Indie edition) and I have a couple of (really!) basic questions.

 

E.g. in the excellent "Introduction to Lua tutorial by Aggror there were a couple of lines of code that didn't work as was done in the tutorial code.

 

"Script.mood = "Happy, Angry, Sad" --choice"

and

"Script.monster = "Vampire, Zombie, Ghost" --choiceedit"

Did not produce the expected result in the editor. They created the --choice and --choiceedit fields on the script properties tab, but with no selectable values.

 

By looking at some other scripts I was able to find the proper (for 3.1 Indie version at least) syntax to be:

 

Script.mood = --choice "Mood" "Happy, Angry, Sad"

and

Script.monster = Vampire --choiceedit "Monster" "Vampire, Zombie, Ghost"

 

Anyway, my question is as follows. I've tried to find any documentation for these "--choice" and "--choiceedit" (and any other available) type of directives.

I'm sure it's there somewhere, I just haven't been able to find it.

 

So can anyone point me in the right direction to look for this documentation please?

 

Thanks!

Just a little down the page. I know, it's hidden well. I go to Documentation->User Guide, then click 'this guid' link, then scroll down to the 'Object Scripts' link. Maybe there is an easier way to get there but I don't know it

Awesome, thanks for that Rick!

 

I knew it just had to be in there somewhere!

 

Thanks Aggror.

(btw you guys tutorials are great to follow for a newbie like myself!)

Also thanks for reporting this btw.This has probably changed since the release of version 3.1. I have updated the lua snippet in the tutorial section.
