Level help
« on: July 02, 2011, 02:57:40 PM »
I received a PM, here's what it says:


Quote
Yo dude i followed your tuts and that and was wanting to know if you could fix my code cause i keep getting random errors but i cannot see the prob thanks

Code: [Select]
function LevelSetup()

  
   -- Set shiz
   SetBackdropColour(0,0,0)
   SetCameraZoomNow(9)
  
   -- Set Global Values
   Globals.G.Asteroids=(0)
   Globals.G.EnemyFactionsMin=(1)
   Globals.G.EnemyFactionsMax=(2)

   -- My Roid
  
   a = AddAsteroidWithAttribs(0,0, 0.8,0.8,0.8)
   a.Owner = 1
   a.TreeCap = 5
   a:SetRadius(700)
   a.SendDistance = 4000
   a:AddSeedlings(150)
   a.Moveable = false

   GenerateLevel()
  
  
end





function GenerateLevel()

   InitArrays()
  
   for i = 0,math.random(6,10) do
      RandomiseAttributes(i)
      PlaceRoids(i)
   end

function InitArrays()
   energy = {}
   strength = {}
   speed = {}
   radius = {}
   senddist = {}
   treecaptcha = {}
   seeds = {}
   x = {}
   y = {}
end

function RandomiseAttributes(RoidID)

   energy[RoidID] = math.random(1,10) / 10 + 0.1
   strength[RoidID] = math.random(1,10) / 10 + 0.1
   speed[RoidID] = math.random(1,10) / 10 + 0.1
   treecaptcha[RoidID] = math.random(2,4)
   radius[RoidID] = math.random (100,450)
   senddist[RoidID] = radius * 10
   seeds[RoidID] = math.random(20,30)
   x[RoidID] = math.random(-5000,5000)
   y[RoidID] = math.random(-5000,5000)


end


function PlaceRoid(RoidID)

   a = AddAsteroidWithAttribs(x[RoidID],y[RoidID],energy[RoidID],strength[RoidID],speed[RoidID])
   a.Owner = 0
   a.TreeCap = treecaptcha[RoidID]
   a.radius = radius[RoidID]
   a.AddSeedlings = seeds[RoidID]
   a.SendDistance = senddist[RoidID]
   a.Moveable = true

end
end



function LevelLogic()

   -- Objective Msg
   Timer = GetGameTime() + 2


   while GetGameTime() < Timer do

      coroutine.yield()
   end

   Pause()
   MessageBox("Take over the whole galaxy to win. Good Luck.")
   WaitDialog()
   Unpause()

   -- Send timed Attack
   Timer = GetGameTime() + 13


   while GetGameTime() < Timer do

      coroutine.yield()
   end
  
      GetAsteroid(2):AddSeedlings(20)
      GetAsteroid(2):SendSeedlingsToTarget(0,200,GetAsteroid(0))
      
      while GameRunning() do
      
      -- Win condition
      if GetEmpire(2):GetNumOwnedAsteroids() == 0 and GetEmpire(3):GetNumOwnedAsteroids() == 0 and GetEmpire(0):GetNumOwnedAsteroids() == 0 then
         Pause()
         MessageBox("You have won")
         WaitDialog()
         Unpause()
         Quit(true)
      end

      -- lose condition
      if GetEmpire(1):GetNumOwnedAsteroids() == 0 then
         Pause()
         MessageBox("You have lost")
         WaitDialog()
         Unpause()
         Quit(false)
      end

      coroutine.yield()
   end
end

Here's the problems I've spotted:

1.  There's no "end" to finish off the GenerateLevel() function.
2.  There's an extra, un-needed "end" at the end of the PlaceRoid() function.

Looks ok apart from that.. :>

Looks a little OTT for a "followed your tuts" map - unless you already know how to use Lua, I'd just stick with something simple.

It sounds like he followed all of them.. :>

It's mostly correct, just a few minor things.  Don't see why he shouldn't go for it.  :>

Yeah, fair enough, but I just didn't want him/her to jump in too deep, too quick and give up right at the start.

Glad to help, you should make a topic, the more helpers, the higher are the possability to find the problems... I guess.

I must say, there were no coding errors, only names were written wrong and you sometimes used functions as fields :)
 *All of thoose stuff are common, and deadly irritating!

Welcome aboard, btw :D

Causes this error

Attempt to yield across
metamethod\c-call boundary

Anyone know what the prob is?

and try to put it in a code box, because thoose emoticons I had to fix up :P

The map looks great BTW, I'd love to beta-test it :)

Good job, Good luck coding more :P

I got no real idea, but seems you ended the LevelLogic and left over some code underneath it, I guess thats the error :P

Actually, a 'common error messages' section to annikk's bugfixing guide could be useful. Want me to try to write one?
