[Bug] Editor crash when placing item on pressure plate

[Ixnatifual]

If you place an item on a pressure plate in the editor, it crashes. I discovered it by placing a Peasan't Cap on level 1 of my dungeon (using the dungeon tileset). I placed a few other items on some of the other plates in the level and got the same result.

Code: Select all

[string "Pit.lua"]:0: attempt to index field 'animController' (a nil value)

Possibly one could place an item there with a script as a workaround, but I haven't tried.

I don't know how you guys do this. I can place items on pressure plate without getting any error

EDIT: can you upload the dungeon.lua so i can test it?

[Ixnatifual]

Where do you want me to upload it?

[Magus]

uh dunno, maybe pastebin or so

Okay now I get it to crash, I guess you need to use a script entity with the code

Code: Select all

spawn("peasant_cap", LEVEL, X, Y, 1, "peasant_cap1")

and insert the level and (X,Y) coordinates

and delete your old peasant_cap in the dungeon.lua

I found something called Zippyshare and uploaded it there: http://www22.zippyshare.com/v/16114734/file.html

Your script is a solid workaround, no doubt about it.

I made one type of work around for that by placing an item in an unused square and place a teleporter over it so it get teleported to the pressure plate when the game starts.

don't know how to use scripts yet so that way works best for me.

placing that script is much better than using an empty room with a teleporter. All you need to do is:

- create the item "script_entity" (looks like a little "Lua") anywhere in your map
- select the "Lua" and in the Inspector window, below the line, type in:

Code: Select all

spawn("peasant_cap", LEVEL, X, Y, 1, "peasant_cap1")

(you change the LEVEL and X and Y, such as 1, 23, 17, so that line would read:

Code: Select all

spawn("peasant_cap", 1, 23, 17, 1, "peasant_cap1")

That's it! It will run the script when the map starts, instantly spawning the peasant cap to the coordinates you chose

Here is the note again from the scripting reference document:
spawn(object, level, x, y, facing, [id])
Spawns a new object at given position on a dungeon level where x and y specify the x- and y-coordinates on the map and level is a level index. facing must be a number between 0 and 3 and it indicates the following directions: 0=north, 1=east, 2=south, 3=west. id parameter is optional. If given it must be an unique id in the context of the dungeon. If not given an unique id is automatically generated.
