Need a little help scripting - Virtualdarks - 07-31-2011
Well, I'm fresh here from ROBLOX. I been a 3 year veteran there, and still playing it. The Lua conversion is getting me a little. Here's the script I wrote:
while true do
newboxo = create("Box")
newboxo.Name = "newboxo"
newboxo.Size = Vector3.new(3,3)
newboxo.Parent = game.World
newboxo.Position = script.Parent.Position
newboxo.Fixed = false
sleep(2)
newboxo:remove()
end
What's suppose to happen is that a new "Box" appears at the position of the currently existing Box, then drop, then 2 seconds later, removes itself.
If something in the script is obsolete in Buildism, please tell me.
Yes I do know RBX.Lua. It's just much simpler in ROBLOX.

Vec2D(x, y)
not
Vector3.new(x, y, z)
Also, you might want to use [ lua ] tags around your code when you post it

Oh, so it's Vec2D now? Thanks. And I'll keep the tag thing in mind.
I'm too use to ROBLOX.

I know; before Jacob_ started phasing out sleep() I regurlarly got it and wait() mixed up on BOTH sites. That and connect() and link().
RE: Need a little help scripting - Virtualdarks - 07-31-2011
Eh, the scripts are still going funky. ._.
No dropping boxes. D:
Nevermind! I just can't rewind anymore, that's all!
RE: Need a little help scripting - Qwertygiy - 07-31-2011
Try this.
[lua]
function waitFor(time)
local oldtime = os.time()
while true do
sleep(0.01)
if os.time() - oldtime >= time then
break end end
end
while true do
newboxo = create("Box")
newboxo.Name = "newboxo"
newboxo.Size = Vec2D(3,3)
newboxo.Parent = game.World
newboxo.Position = script.Parent.Position
newboxo.Fixed = false
waitFor(2)
newboxo:remove()
end
[/lua]
As it says, sleep() for long periods will be disabled tommorrow.

Thanks.
Whenever I used "Sleep(1)", it spammed my chatbox with "Use os.time()" instead, even though I don't know what that is.

Only in events, not everywhere.
RE: Need a little help scripting - Qwertygiy - 08-01-2011
It says that in the output whenever I use sleep. Including in loops and regular scripts.

I know, but it will only be disabled in events, which is stated in the message.
