Using the Jumppad script tutorial, I tried to add sound...

[MisterGravity]

Please note, I'm still very new at the Lua scripting. I'm trying!

 

Using nate066's Jump-Pad tutorial script located here, I tried to use some skills I learned from Rick in his Teleportation tutorial located here.

 

Specifically, once Rick implemented the teleporter pads, he created a couple of Pivots in the scene to hold the Noise.lua scripts. I learned that a function Script:Whatever could be called in the Flowgraph Editor to call outputs, like this:

 

self.component:CallOutputs("TriggerEnter")

 

Which would let him use it in the Flowgraph Editor, like this:

 

 

So what I did was, I tried to use that knowledge to edit the Jumppad script to also be able to call a similar Pivot when the collision occurred. The problem (and it's not really a problem, it just wasn't conducive to what I wanted to do,) was that the JumpPad's action was all happening in the function Script:Collision area of the code. My assumption was that I could remove what made it work and put it in it's own function instead, and then use a "CallOutput" to be able to use it in the Flowgraph Editor too.

 

This was what I was hoping would work, but does not.

 

 

And this is the code as it was when I altered it:

 

Script.JumpForce = nil --vec3
Script.SelectiveCollision = false --bool "Selective Collision"
Script.ColObj = nil --Entity "Collision Object"

function Script:Start()
 self.source = Source:Create()
end

function Script:Collision(entity, position, normal, speed)
 if (self.SelectiveCollision == true and entity == self.ColObj) then
	 self.source:Jump()
 elseif (self.SelectiveCollision == false) then
	 entity:AddForce(self.JumpForce)
 end
end

function Script:Jump()
 self.component:CallOutputs("Jump")
 self.ColObj:AddForce(self.JumpForce)
end

 

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? And nate, this was not intended to sidestep you or go over your head. You and I had talked together on trying to encorporate sound directly into it, but I thought I'd take it public since I'm now trying to add in pieces of Rick's project as well.

 

Thanks everyone!
