Oops I'm sorry....

It's my mistake....

Just Ignore and delete my Post Please....

[Lua beginner question...]

Doesn't work , when i attach this script to a box:

 

function Script:Start()

mySurface = self.entity:GetSurface(0)

System:Print(mySurface:CountVertices())

end

 

I get this error at line 2:

2 : attempt to call method 'GetSurface' (a nil value)

 

and the script stop with a requester.

Thanks for your reply Genebris

 

But I did test it, and it doesn't seem to work straight from the script attached. I guess I could load the model from the main.lua so I could declare it global and access it on a private script... but that wasn't my goal.

 

I was just curious to know if it could done, that is, to attach a script to a model entity and to use it to animate the vertex of an object for exemple ... I read the forum, and it seem that lua script only access the entity...It's ok... I was just asking, as a beginner , to be sure I wasn't missing something simple here...

 

Thanks again for your answer....

Hi ! I just want to know if it is possible to have acces the Model method in a lua script that has been attached to a model in the scene editor.

 

I wanna do something like

 

my_model = tolua.cast(self.entity , "Model")

my_surface = my_model:GetSurface(0)

 

I want a script that I can attach to any model in a map scene...

 

 

Thanks.
