How to define 'pieces' in scripts/

[Smeg]

Hi all,

First off I'm new here (Hello) and just dipping my toes in to see how it goes.

I've created a unit (a construction yard) and i can see it on the map.
Now i want to write a script for it. In example posted around here we declare local pieces at the start of these scripts. like so.

Code: Select all

local garage = piece "garage"
local door = piece "door"

I have done this and written/copied some code that should allow the construction yard to build a factory. But it does not, and when i check the infolog.txt i find this faulty line.

Code: Select all

[f=0000000] Error: LuaRules::RunCallIn: error = 2, UnitCreated, [string "scripts/cyardscript.lua"]:1: piece not found: garage
stack traceback:
	[C]: in function 'sp_CallAsUnit'
	[string "LuaGadgets/Gadgets/unit_script.lua"]:307: in function 'CallAsUnitNoReturn'
	[string "LuaGadgets/Gadgets/unit_script.lua"]:703: in function 'UnitCreated'
	[string "LuaGadgets/gadgets.lua"]:1309: in function <[string "LuaGadgets/gadgets.lua"]:1307>
	(tail call): ?
	[C]: in function 'CreateUnit'
	[string "LuaRules/Gadgets/game_spawn.lua"]:68: in function 'SpawnStartUnit'
	[string "LuaRules/Gadgets/game_spawn.lua"]:110: in function 'GameStart'
	[string "LuaGadgets/gadgets.lua"]:927: in function <[string "LuaGadgets/gadgets.lua"]:925>
	(tail call): ?

I'm guessing it doesn't know what the garage is in relation to my construction yard.

My question.

How do i define my pieces for this script to work? (Somewhere else?)

I read most guides and i can't seem to find anything that seems to explain this.

Let me know if you need a further explanation.

Thanks in advance.

Smeg.

Can you attach the model and full script?

(Not to be condescending but does the model have a piece named exactly "garage"?)

Hi Flozi,

It would allow me to upload a s£o file, so i just rar'd it.

This came from my fried who's looking after the models. He says it's in there.

I guess i should download the open source program to check for myself.

Also i noticed this line above the others

Code: Select all

[f=0000000] [Texture] Warning: [LoadS3OTextureNow] could not load texture "Spring unit" from model "objects3d/constr1.s3o"

We haven't added any textures yet so i have ignored that line, but let me know if i should be worried about it. I've included it in case it's relevant to the above.

Thanks for your time.

EDIT: Added cyardscript.lua

Just to let you know, i downloaded uprising and took alook my self, the answer was the capitalization on the pieces, so they were different.

Thanks for making me double check.

No worries. Good luck with your project, feel free to join #moddev and #lua on the lobby, that is where the cool kids hang out.

i should read threads to the end, before opening case-sensitive garage doors
