Help with weapondefs_post

[Forboding Angel]

I want to do this:

Code: Select all

for id,wd in pairs(WeaponDefs) do
		wd.energycost = wd.damage.default * 0.05
end

Essentially, I want to take each weapon's total default damage, then divide that by 20, and whatever number that is, make it the energypershot value.

I'm doing something wrong. Can someone halp?

[knorke]

divide by 20 is not same as multipy with 0.2

My apologies. * 0.05 fixed

Update, I did Spring.Echo(wd.name) and it output the names of only the weapons in the weapons folder and apparently skipped the weapons housed in unitdefs.

Tried putting this:

Code: Select all

for id,wd in pairs(WeaponDefs) do
		wd.energycost = wd.damage.default * 0.05
		Spring.Echo(wd.name)
		Spring.Echo(wd.energycost)
end

In unitdefs_post, but keep getting this error:

Code: Select all

Error: Spring: Incorrect/Missing content:  Error in main(): Defs-Parser: [string "gamedata/defs.lua"]:38: [string "gamedata/defs.lua"]:26: error = 2, gamedata/unitDefs.lua, error = 2, gamedata/unitdefs_post.lua, [string "gamedata/unitdefs_post.lua"]:45: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil)

I figured it out. Long story short there is a function in my weapondefs_post that converts unitdef weapondefs to be usable in weapondefs post. I needed to have my little blurb in that function. THe moment I put it there everything was fine.

for id,wd in pairs(WeaponDefs) do

That is line 45 in unitdefs_post? The error is that WeaponDefs is nil. Is that maybe not accessible from unitdefs_post?
