[Solved] Unsuccesful character scaling

[Goregonzola]

Ladies and Gentleman,

Please welcome today evening's "What have I coded wrong?"  show's brand new guest: Character scaling!

So, I've been tinkering with this coding for a while now, but I can't figure out what do I code wrong:

Spoiler

 

local function greatestevil(inst)
local health = inst.components.health.current

if inst:HasTag("playerghost") then return end
if inst.components.health:IsDead() then return end

    -- stage I
    if health <= 150 then
        inst.Transform:SetScale(1.2, 1.2, 1.2)
    end
    
    -- stage II
    if health >= 151 and health <= 350 then
        inst.Transform:SetScale(2.2, 2.2, 2.2)        
    end
    
    -- stage III
    if health >= 351 and health <= 500 then
        inst.Transform:SetScale(3.2, 3.2, 3.2)        
    end
    
    -- stage IV
    if health >= 501 then
        inst.Transform:SetScale(4, 4, 4)        
    end
end

 

local master_postinit = function(inst)

    inst:ListenForEvent("healthdelta", greatestevil)

    inst.OnNewSpawn = function(inst)
        Health:SetCurrentHealth(150)
    end

 

It crashes the game and it says: attempt to compare nil with number (here:  if health <= 150 then)

Help my poor soul.

local health = inst.components.health:GetCurrent()

try this one instead

health.current == nil

health.currenthealth ~= nil

@thomas4846 Supposed to be a : not . , and GetCurrent isn't a valid member of health.

[Thomas_klei]

is it GetCurrentHealth()?

or like GetHealthCurrent()

[penguin0616]

There isn't a method to return current health, you have to specifically check the member.
