Touching ents

[stealthpaw]

Ok, here i go again.

How would one use ENT:Touch to have an entity remove itsself along with another touching entity specifically defined, etc: When ball touches ent:ball2 both are removed and ent:ball3 is created.

[Chad Mobile]

[lua]
function ENT:Touch
//code where it touches something..
self.remove
ent.Create("ent_ball3")
[/lua]
Something like that I'd guess. I can't test it right now, sorry.

I'm fine with that part, i know the functions etc, i just don't know how to define what entity it needs to be touching for ent.Create to activate

[Chad Mobile]

Oh, try something like

//blahlala code for creating function
//creating ent IF
ent_ball1 collides with ent_ball2 then
self.remove
ent_create("ent_ball3")

but you'd have to code the self.Remove into both ball1 and ball2. I can't really explain it, but I'm really hoping you get what I mean :)

[Wablur]

[lua]
function ENT:Touch( HitEnt )

if( IsValid( HitEnt ) and HitEnt:GetClass( "ent_name" ) ) then

HitEnt:Remove();
self.Entity:Remove();

--insert code to make ent
local myent = ents.Create( "my_ent" ) --blaablablaba

end

end
[/lua]

That should be correct.

No no no no, bad. We do not post misleading code help in this board. I say good day to you, sir.

Chad, would you please stop helping people in this forum until you know how to code properly in Lua.

[Chad Mobile]

I wasn't posting code to use, I was giving an idea...
Edit: I mean I wasn't saying "Use this code its 100% foolproof" i was meaning "heres my idea"

Correcting Wablur's code

[lua]
function ENT:Touch( HitEnt )

if( IsValid( HitEnt ) and HitEnt:GetClass() == "ent_name" ) then

--insert code to make ent
local myent = ents.Create( "my_ent" ) --blaablablaba

HitEnt:Remove();
self:Remove();

end

end
[/lua]

No i didn't get what you ment. Untill these other fine gentelmen showed up, i was in quite the pickle. I mean, wtf is ent_ball1 collides with ent_ball2... it has nothing todo with lua, it sounds more like game-creator or some shit... But yeah, thanks people working like a treat.

Oh forgot about the GetClass() == "", wasn't thinking straight.
