how do I reference a variable in an item or a stategraph

[muddykat]

i'm currently working on a character mod (Bellatrix)

 

I have an item which when equipped triggers a state graph and a transformation animation now all i have to do is change a variable to finish it off but it keeps crashing i already tried using owner./inst./self.inst.

even though i kinda new it wouldn't work i still tried and failed so if anyone knows can give me a hand thanks here is the variables i needed to change and how i structured them

 

 

if(damage=true) then

       damage=false

end

 

if(daytime=true) then

      damage=true

end

 

[Mobbstar]

Please show the entire code.

 

A stategraph instance can be referenced to by inst.sg

 

EDIT: Wait hang on, isn't Bellatrix the really complicated bee queen character that entirely modifies bees without actually overriding anything in that relation?

nope

not that mod

 

all i want to do is change a variable in reference to the character when an item is eqiuped

@muddykat Like this?

-- In player scriptplayer_inst.val = 1-- In modmainprint(GLOBAL.GetPlayer().val) -- prints 1-- Elsewhereprint(GetPlayer().val) -- prints 1

@muddykat Ah.. well, I was just demonstrating how you can access variables associated with your character. The rest depends on your design, think of how you can use that to do what you want to do.

 

eg.

player_inst.damage = trueplayer_inst.damage = false-- ...if (GetPlayer().damage) then    -- ...end

[muddykat]

cool thanks ill try it out

 

[RBD]

Your lack of brackets is awful...

[Mobbstar]

Your lack of brackets is awful...

 

Pardon stranger? I would say there's even an excess of brackets in the if statements found on this thread. If your statement was meant to be sarcastic, then I'm afraid that the sarcasm wasn't clear enough.

 

Generally speaking, it's a good idea to give reason for your statements.

[Blueberrys]

@RBD Perhaps you meant indents?

[muddykat]

Your lack of brackets is awful...

lol its my first mod to ya know no one really has taught me how to adequately use brackets or indents or what ever you meant so if you know what your calling me on id be glad to take a lesson if not then would you kindly back off

[Blueberrys]

@muddykat My previous link defines what indents are. Here's quite a long article on indentation. I don't think you need to read all of it, just skim through and check out the examples. It's not using Lua either, so keep that in mind.

 

For Lua, indentation will look something like this:

local function something()   -- Indented lines   -- Indented linesendif some_bool then   -- Indented lines   -- Indented linesendfor k, v in pairs(some_table) do   -- Indented lines   -- Indented linesend

And nested statements:

local function something()   -- Indented lines   if some_bool then -- Indented if-statement      -- Double indented lines      -- Double indented lines   end -- Indented end, same spacing as the corresponding if-statement above   -- Indented linesend

[muddykat]

thanks man ill try and keep my code easy to read and nicely indented if you want you can have a look at the mod this was all for you can find it here
