Script Runtime Error....

any ideas as to what it is?....

I think I could puke looking at that code

Lets start off with the error before I complain a little more and explain some other things I have explained before...

Ok, read the error...

"undefined is not an entity".

This says, 'something' is not an entity.
The error is caused by "axle5".

So, the error is because axle5 - is not an entity. Basically axle5 does not exist.

Now, let me push on to something called "arrays". Described in many posts and examples are everywhere, arrays are used to removed repetitive actions.

Ok, first off your gears, 8 threads to do 2 actions.
4 gears move clockwise, 4 gear anticlockwise.

You axles, the same, 2 actions yet 8 threads.

So to remove 16 thread and replace them with 5...

Code: Select all

main()
{
   thread start();
}

start()
{
   gearcw = getentarray("gearcw","targetname");
   gearacw = getentarray("gearacw","targetname");
   axlecw = getentarray("axlecw","targetname");
   axleacw = getentarray("acleacw","targetname");

   for(i=0;i<gearcw.size;i++)
   {
      gearcw[i] thread _gear_cw();
   }

   for(i=0;i<gearacw.size;i++)
   {
      gearacw[i] thread _gear_acw();
   }

   for(i=0;i<axlecw.size;i++)
   {
      axlecw[i] thread _axle_cw();
   }

   for(i=0;i<gearcw.size;i++)
   {
      axleacw[i] thread _axle_acw();
   }
}

_gear_cw()
{
while (1)
{
   self rotateyaw(360, 10);
   self waittill("rotatedone");
} 
}

_gear_acw()
{
while (1)
{
   self rotateyaw(-360, 10);
   self waittill("rotatedone");
} 
}

_axle_cw()
{
while (1)
{
   self rotateroll(360, 10);
   self waittill("rotatedone");
} 
}

_axle_acw()
{
while (1)
{
   self rotateroll(-360, 10);
   self waittill("rotatedone");
} 
}

To get this to work, you will need to give all the gears and axles the correct targetname...

gearcw
gearacw
axlecw
axleacw

k, thanks droffy, ill fix up my script to your extremely high standards when i get the chance

[[SoE]_Zaitsev]

I'm such a noob compared to all the scripting and mapping (I'd like to map someday though ), but I always find it awesome how Drofder can answer any questions about scripting (Again, I havbe no clue what's going on but still).

Very cool, it's not something that you learn in 1 day.

i did exactly as you said and renamed all my gears, but they dont move. Theres not an error, even in dev mode.

(the map runs)

[Soviet]

nvm drofder, i got it working. But to say it kindly, your script is fucked up

all of the gears and axles are turning incorrectly. Im not just talking the wrong way, im saying they aren't turning on their origin properly.

They would work correctly if it were my map

useless...

[teebag]

Drofder is the next Albert Einstein I mean wtf

[Soviet]

maybe, but hes supposed to respond with some witty answer to my problem or at least ask for more information, and instead he says that they would work correctly if they were on his map...no shit

[Nightmare]

Wait drof, if they were in arrays, wouldn't all of the chosen axels become as one and spin around in the middle?

Ofcourse they would, but I covered that in my script...
