Have you actually set the timer using setSecondsLeft() and setTimerState() ?

It has been set, but the graphics still don't appear excluding the numbers, but at least the sounds play.

Create a RECTd object (http://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/RECTd_(class)) and then set at as the section boundary (http://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/Section_(class)). You can then modify the elements of the RECTd object as often as you wish to change the section boundaries

Wow! That is incredibly confusing. I was trying to use the SMW Camera method:http://wohlsoft.ru/pgewiki/SMWcamera.lua. I'd gotten it to work, but how can I get the Passive Functionality of Camera Motion to deactive? I tried using deactive() to get it to stop, but now the autoscrolling doesn't work. Here is my code:

Spoiler: show

local SMWCam = loadAPI("SMWcamera")
local t = 0

function onEvent(eventname)
if eventname == "Grab Axe" then
SMWCam.BeginAutoScroll(0,-1)

t = t + 1
end
end

function onLoop()
deactive()
end

PixelPest wrote:If you look at the documentation for this API, you're never actually incorporating t into the beginAutoScroll function, as is done in the wiki example. You also need to do SMWcam.deactivate() and should also be using API.load since loadAPI is deprecated

Allrighty, I wrote my new code using your recommendations:

Spoiler: show

local SMWCam = API.load("SMWcamera")

function onEvent(eventname)
if eventname == "Grab Axe" then
SMWCam.BeginAutoScroll(0,-1)
end
end

function onLoop()
SMWCam.deactive()
end

It still doesn't activate the autoscrolling when I activate the "Grab Axe" event.

Will I have to have SMWCam deactivated until I reach the portion that needs autoscrolling, and then activate it using SMWCam.activate()?

Why did you remove the counter? That's actually what makes it autoscroll. READ THE DOCUMENTATION

Whoops. I wrote the new code on how I think it should be done. I added the counter back in:

Spoiler: show

local SMWCam = API.load("SMWcamera")
local t = 0

function onEvent(eventname)
if eventname == "Level - Start" then
SMWCam.function deactive()
end
end

function onEvent(eventname)
if eventname == "Grab Axe" then
SMWCam.function activate()
end
end

function onEvent(eventname)
if eventname == "Active AutoScrolling" then
SMWCam.BeginAutoScroll(0,-1)
end
end

I have the "Grab Axe" event set to activate the "AutoScroll" event 0.1 seconds from now.

Why do you have three onEvent functions? Use one and elseif instead. You seem to be just guessing now; this is your worst try yet.

There's really no reason almost EVER to use more than one of a function in a script.

"elseif" is used to make further comparisons if the first criterion/criteria made does/do not fit the statement. For example:

Code: Select all

local lemur = "tree hugger";

if lemur == "fish" then
   print("Lol. A lemur isn't a fish");
elseif lemur == "bird" then
   print("No.");
elseif lemur == "tree hugger" then
   print("Sure.");
end

Not a great explanation but you can always do an Internet search

 SMWCam.function activate()

Creepermon wrote:Hi. I'm trying to use a lunalua script for the whole episode. I'm curious that if I was using, for example, PixelPest's SMGModder script (since it comes as lunadll.lua in the demo) if it goes in lunaworld.lua or lunadll.lua? If it is in lunaworld.lua, then does it just go at the end of what's already there, or with a paragraph or other formatting between. This is probably a really obvious answer, but I have little to no experience with lua and I don't want to ruin it.
Thanks, and have a good day, night or other time period!

local smgModder = API.load("smgModder");

function onStart()
    smgModder.daredevilActivate();

Based on what I see, should it not be:

Code: Select all

local SMWCam = API.load("SMWcamera")
local t = 0

function onEvent(eventname)
    if eventname == "Level - Start" then
        SMWCam.function deactive()
    end
    if eventname == "Grab Axe" then
        SMWCam.function activate()
    end
    if eventname == "Active AutoScrolling" then
        SMWCam.BeginAutoScroll(0,-1)
    end
end

Or you can do it as:

Code: Select all

local SMWCam = API.load("SMWcamera")
local t = 0

function onEvent(eventname)
    if eventname == "Level - Start" then
        SMWCam.function deactive()
    elseif eventname == "Grab Axe" then
        SMWCam.function activate()
    elseif eventname == "Active AutoScrolling" then
        SMWCam.BeginAutoScroll(0,-1)
    end
end
