Project Saturn Tutorial help.

[AudiDJ]

So I am very interested in the Project Saturn Tutorials put on by Jorn. However, I have run into a problem and cannot find a solution. I keep getting - error in Function 'Point'. argument #2 is 'string';'Entity' expected. -Here's my script:

 

Script.player = "" --entity "Player"

Script.rotationSpeed = 0.1 --float "Rotation Speed"

Script.fireRate = 1.0 --float "Fire rate"

Script.fireRateTimer = 0

Script.muzzleFlashLight = "" --entity "Muzzle Flash Light"

Script.muzzleTime = 0.1 --float "muzzleTimer"

Script.muzzleTimer = 0

 

function Script:UpdateWorld()

self.entity:Point(self.player, 2, Time:GetSpeed() * self.rotationSpeed)

 

self.fireRateTimer = self.fireRateTimer + (Time:GetSpeed()/100)

self.muzzleTimer = self.muzzleTimer + (Time:GetSpeed()/100)

 

if(self.fireRateTimer > self.fireRate) then

self.muzzleFlashLight:Show()

self.muzzleTimer = 0

end

if(self.muzzleTimer > self.muzzleTime) then

self.muzzleFlashLight:Hide()

end

end

 

 

Thanks for taking a look.

What do you have linked in as a the player?

Just a side note that I always set --entity default values to nil. You have it as a string for a default value which doesn't really matter most likely but you aren't expecting it to be a string you are expecting it to be an entity object

 

Script.player = nil --entity "Player"

 

After making that change you'll probably get nil value received or something like that because you probably didn't drag anything in that field from the editor? That's what Aggror is trying to get at with his post.
