attempt to call global 'require' (a nil value)?????

[metaldc4life]

what does this mean?:

 

attempt to call global 'require' (a nil value)

[metaldc4life]

to go into further detail I am trying to add an animated deer so I add the script it came with and got this:

 

attempt to call global 'require' (a nil value)

 

on this line:

 

require("scripts/class")

 

[AggrorJorn]

require("scripts/class")

This was something from Leadwerks 2 and is no longer used in Leadwerks 3

[metaldc4life]

so there is no way to use it? =/

 

do you know how I can get this to work then?

 

require("scripts/class")

 

local class=CreateClass(...)

 

class.beginframe = 0

class.endframe = 301

class.animationspeed=0.35

 

function class:CreateObject(model)

local object=self.super:CreateObject(model)

model:SetRotation(Vec3(0,math.random(500)-1,0))

uninstancedframe=class.beginframe+math.random(class.endframe-class.beginframe)-1

object.frame=uninstancedframe

 

function object:Draw()

self.frame = self.frame + class.animationspeed * AppSpeed()

if self.frame>class.endframe then

self.frame=0

end

self.model:Animate(self.frame,1,0,1)

end

 

end

While not I'm 100% certain I believe that require is used for including binary plugins and include is used to include scripts.

 

Also require is turned off in sandbox mode, not sure about include

[AggrorJorn]

The scripts still works with some tweaks.

 

As for the require keyword, this is no longer used in LE3. If you want to import another script you can use the import keyword.

As for the require keyword, this is no longer used in LE3.

 

That's not entirely accurate as I wrote above it's still used to load binary lua plugins ( when not in sandbox mode )

[AggrorJorn]

Yes you are correct. I should have said: the require("scripts/class") is no longer used in LE3.

[shadmar]

you can change it from

 

require("scripts/class")

 

to

 

import "scripts/class.lua"

import() is a Leadwerks command and will work with all our file system features. For example, it can be used to execute scripts within a Workshop game, while keeping all files inside an encrypted zip file.

 

require is a Lua command. It should work, but might not be enabled if Lua sandboxing is turned on.

[AggrorJorn]

What I meant on my first post is that the OP is using a lua script from Leadwerks 2.

 

If you are looking for a simple animation test, use this script:

 

Script.speed=1.0--float
Script.sequence=0--int

function Script:UpdateWorld
 local t = Time:GetCurrent()/100
 self.entity:SetAnimationFrame(t * self.speed, 1, self.sequence)
end
