Class Names from LUA script?

[Chiblue]

I have created a new entity in LUA called info_spawnpoint_node.lua along with associated files...

 

When I ready this in my code the class name appears as "info_info_spawnpoint" why? what dictates the class name when using in the scene?

 

the path to the entity is Models/Entities/info/Spawn/Node/

 

Can someone explain how the class names are derived?

I didn't even think classname was part of Lua. Did that chance recently? I know it was around before Lua but then I thought it was removed with Lua.

 

I would assume you would be able to set that variable yourself inside your Lua class assuming it's now a variable in the base Lua class.

Well maybe I did not explain it...

 

The code that pulls this is "cn=GetEntityKey(e,"classname");"

 

Which assumes it is a key in lua, but my lua script does not set this value as I thought is defaults to the script name??

 

Or am I confusing it or myself and add classname as a key within my script?

[Rick]

I know before Lua each model had a classname key, but once Lua was put in I think it was taken out. You would have to put it in yourself in the Lua scripts.

I found my problem, the .ini for the entity has the class name... thanks
