  How to Spawn Bodies from Console?Sorry if this is in the wrong place
I've been trying to spawn enemy bodies from the console for a while now, for testing matters. And I don't know how. I've looked at a few Lua tutorials, but they're just not helping with this. Anyone know how?  |

Re: How to Spawn Bodies from Console? Copy and paste this in to the console:
Code: a=CreateAHuman("Brain Robot") a.Pos=SceneMan:MovePointToGround(Vector(99,0),9,9) a.Team=0 MovableMan:AddActor(a) |

Re: How to Spawn Bodies from Console? This is a bit off-topic but since abdul already answered the question I hope it's okay.
Abdul I noticed you used a = ... instead of local a = ... Would that be local a or global a? I know the console can be used to change global variables but does it automatically write them as local? If that's the case, can you specify a variable as global from the console, e.g. global a = ...? |

Re: How to Spawn Bodies from Console? I assume that 'a' will be a global, but haven't really thought about it. I just omitted the local to make the code as short as possible. If you want to know what variables and functions are global just print the contents of the _G table.

Re: How to Spawn Bodies from Console? Oh yeah, that's good to know; I'd forgotten all about _G table, thanks.

Re: How to Spawn Bodies from Console? I know the topic is very old and I'm sorry about that.
But is it possible to spawn bodies holding specific HDFIREARM? |

Re: How to Spawn Bodies from Console? Code: a=CreateAHuman("Brain Robot") a.Pos=SceneMan:MovePointToGround(Vector(99,0),9,9) a.Team=0 a:AddInventoryItem(CreateHDFirearm("Medium Digger")) MovableMan:AddActor(a) This should work. |

Re: How to Spawn Bodies from Console? I assume it's the same _G table as mentioned in the Lua documentation.
