Help with LUA

[pug]

So I'm making a submarine, and I wanted to use LUA to control it.

I used this LUA code: http://www.fromthedepthsgame.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=8882

I put in everything he/she required, Front hydro foils, Pitch, yaw, roll, front, props, airpumps, target AI and mainframe, etc.

I then pasted the LUA into the ingame block and nothing happened, it wont correct roll pitch yaw, it doesn't react to enemies, nothing, am I doing something wrong?

It's possible, I'd have to look at it.

a: you sure it is on?
b: maybe it requires the ai to be in let's say combat mode and there to be a enemie

[pug]

It's on, and it says not to add in naval AI so there is no combat mode, I tried adding in enemies, no response.

That lua replaces AI and would fight any onboard AI for control of the vehicle.

I got it to work, turns out the code had some a letter at the end that messed it up lol.

--Assuming one mainframe with a munitions warning system connected to it
for i=0, I:GetNumberOfWarnings(0), 1 do
local warningInfo = I:GetMissileWarning(0, i)
local position = warningInfo.Position
I:LogToHud('x: ' ..position.x.. ' y: ' ..position.y.. 'z: ' ..position.z)
end

[pug]

Btw is there any way to turn LUA off? I want it to stop attacking enemies when they are no longer able to fight.

Without going into the lua block itself, you'd have to program the lua to do nothing if you turn the "AI" to OFF mode in the map.

There could be tens of missiles alive. The index is which missile you're going to get the info for.

I would assume that it's only missiles from the construct with the Lua block but I don't know. Why don't you try it with some LogToHud and find out?
