Listening for event "armorbroke"

[SenL]

I'm having problem with listening to this event.

If I do this, it doesn't capture.
inst:ListenForEvent("armorbroke", function(inst) armorbrokefn(inst) end)

If I do this, it does but the inst.prefab is wilson (not the item with armor component)
inst:ListenForEvent("armorbroke", function(inst) armorbrokefn(inst) end, GetPlayer())

How do you do it?

Thanks.

Function that pushes the event:

local function PercentChanged(inst, data)
    if inst.components.armor
       and data.percent and data.percent <= 0
       and inst.components.inventoryitem and inst.components.inventoryitem.owner then
        	inst.components.inventoryitem.owner:PushEvent("armorbroke", {armor = inst})
    end
end

Who pushes the event is the owner, ie the player. So:

inst:ListenForEvent("armorbroke", function(player, data) armorbrokefn(player, data) end, GetPlayer())

Where data is a table: {armor = inst}
To access the armor entity you will use data.armor

See the definition of the PushEvent and ListenToEvent functions in the entityscript.lua file (where almost all the functions that all prefabs have by default are located.

This works. Thanks.

However, when I try to print out the armor maxcondition it crashes (attempt to index, nil)
print(data.armor.maxcondition)

This one also crashes:
print(data.components.armor.maxcondition)

Strange because armor component always has maxcondition.

After pushing this event the armor is removed (no longer exists), so possibly you need to store it in a variable inside your function first, and then just in case check if the variable exists.
